Growing Commerce of the
Little Brown Men
UNITED STATES SHARE
This Country Is the Largest Gus
toner, and From Small Exporter
to the Island Twenty Years Ago is
Rapidly Overtaking Great Britain.

washington, April 1.-THE rapidly
growing share of the United States in
the commerce of Japan is illustrated
by a statement just prepared by the
department of commerce and labor
through it's bureau of statistics. This
statement is compiled from an official
document of TIE japanese government.
just received, entitled Financial and
Economical Annual of Japan" It
shows the commerce of Japan with
the principal countries of the world
for a long term of years, ending with
1902, while from another document,
just received, the bureau is able to OBJ
tain figures of the commerce of Japan
with the United States, the United
Kingdom, China, and India for the
calendar year of 1903.
These tables show that the United
States is the largest customer of Ja-
pan. The value OF exports from Japan
to her most important customers in
1902 was: To Germany, 4,737,000 yen
Cyen equals 1873 cents); Italy, 3.2S7, COO
yen; British India, 13, 337 COO yen; Great
Britain, 17,3i6,000 yen; HOngkong, 25,-
$4,000 yen; France, 27,2S3.0O0 yen:
China, 46, S3S, coo yen, and to the United
States, S0,233,OO yen.% Thus the Unit
ed States takes as much of the pro-
ducts of JaPan as all of Europe and
nearly twice as much as China, ia
pans second largest customer.
In 1903 the figures were: To the
United States, 81, 725,000 yen; to China,
81, 600 yen; to Great Britain, 1854 =
coo yen; to India, 8OS5, GOO yen, and TO
all other countries, III, COO yen.
In imports the United States stood
second in 1902, and at the end of 1903
was but $1,227 GOO below Great Britain,
which still holds the lead. For 1902
the latest year for which the import
figures of japan are available with
reference to all countries, the imports
from leading cOutTies, stated in the
order of magnitude, We're: From Brit
ish India. 50,354.O0O yen; from the
United States, 4S.653,0OO yen; China
4O.591, 900 yen; Germany. 25,S13,GO yen.
and from France, 4.746.OOO yen. In 1908

to be considered is the coal miners
strike in Colorado. Among the men,
bers OF the committee who have all
ready arrived are President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
Of Labor and President John Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. The Colorado coal miners now on
strike are members of Mitchelrs or
ganization and he will be the controll-
ing factor on the union side in any
negotiations undertaken.
Mr.. Mitchell was almost exhausted
from travel and retired soon after
reaching his hotel, declining an audi
ence 10 representatives of the press.
Mr.. Gompers. however, consented to be
interviewed but automatically avoided
committing himself or committee on
any subject discussed. He referred to
the action of Governor Peabody. Of
Colorado, in bringing under martial law
in localities where strikes have been
declared as a violation of the funda-
mental principles of free government" >"

the imports frCm four principal coun-
tries were: From India, 7O.095, 600 yen;
from Great Britain, coo yen:
from the United States, 46,27S,OO0 yen.
and from China, As, ass, 600 yen.
The feature of this, official statement
which is of especial interest in it's re-
lation to the growth of American ex-
ports to Japan is the fact that the
United States has made much more
rapid gains in the imports of Japan
than any of her principal rivals. Com
pairing conditions in 1902 with those of
1890, for example the United States
shows a gain from 6,S74,OOO yen in 1890
to 1868, 600 in 1902, while the figures of
imports from Great Britain are, in 1890,
26.619,OO0. and in 1902 So 900 yen;
from Germany, in 1890, 6,S57 900 yen,
and in 1902, 25,S15.O00 yen; from China,
in 1890, S,S50,000 yen, and in 1902, 40,-
591, 900 yen; and from British India, in
1890, S,911, 600 yen, and in 1892 5O,977.-
GOO zen.
Considering only the FIVE principal
countries from which Japan's chief
importations are obtained the United
States has made much greater gains
than any OF the others. 1t viii also be
seen from these figures that the chief
rivalry for the classes of merchandise
for which the United States is seeking
a market in Japan is between the
United States and the United King
dom, the class of goods imported into
Japan from China being chiefly nom
competitive so far as relates to the
United States. while in the case of In
dia the sole competitive article is cot
ton, OF which Japan takes freely from
India in years of large supplies in that
country, owing to the fact that prices
of Indian cotton are lower than these
of cotton from the United States.
This is especially true of the year
1903 when prices in the United States
were extremely high and resulted in q
reduction Of about 5O,O0O.O00 pounds in
the expectation of American cotton to
Japan and q reduction of nearly So,
C0O,0OO in the value of raw cotton ex-
ported to that country from the Unit
ed States. But for this incident it is
probable that the United States would,
at the end of 1903, have considerably
exceeded the United Kingdom in the
japanese statement of imports b.
countries.
That the rate of growth during a
term of years has been much more
rapid in imports from the United
States than from the United Kingdom
will be seen from an examination OF
the table which follows, which shows
the value of imports into Japan from
the United States and the United
Kingdom, respectively, and the share
which such imports formed of the to-
tai importaticns into Japan in each
year from 1881 to 1909. 1t will be seen
that in 1881 the United States supplied
but 5.72 per cent. OF the imports of
japan and the United Kingdom 52.5T
per cent; while in 1903 the United
States supplied 14.6 per cent. Of Japan's
total imports and the United Kingdom
15.A per cent. Thus the share of Japan's

KANSAS CITY MARkTFS
A Review Of Prices and Conditions Of

Kansas City, Mo-, April 1.-THE sup
ply of range bred cattle last week was

cents over previous week. Colorado
fed steers 1880 pounds, sold at $3.50 on
Friday; other sales of western steers
We're at $4.45 to S4.65. Western stock
ers Of good quality were about steady
at close of week with close of previous
week, but medium to common kinds
lost from 10 to 80 cents. Good feeders
made a Slight gain during the week,
on account of favorable fat cattle mar
kets. Colorado feeders, $50 to 1000
pounds sold at $3.50 to $4.00, and a big
string of 419 pound Texas stockers
brought S3.70. Cows and heifers sold
fully steady throughout the week, clos
ing possibly a shade y higher. Some
lots of fed western heifers sold at $500
to $4.25 and western cows sold up to
$3.50. The run yesterday was light at
5000 head. and the market is steady on
everything except heavy fed cattle,
which are to 10 cents lower. The
light run here prevented much Of a de-
cline, although Chicago reported low

enough cattle to go around at this
point.
Mutton prices gained 20 to 80 cents
last week. Receipts are expected to
run lighter in the near future. as prac-
tically all of the winter fed stuff has
been marketed from local feed lots, and
there is not much more Colorado stuff
to move. Arizona sheep will not be
ready to market before June, and the
Texas marketing will also be late.
Dealers. therefore predict better sheep

HILL IN THE SADDLE
In Control of New York
Convention
Unless Tammany Consents to In
structions for Parker 1t viii Be
Thrown Out-A Hot Time Today.

Albany n. Y. April 17.-If the policy
adopted by friends OF Judge Alton b.
Parker, at whose head stands former
Senator David B. Hill is carried out at
the session of the democratic state
convention tomorrow there viii likely
be precipitated upon the floor of the
convention a battle royal, which viii
not have had parallel in state poll
teal conventions in many years.
Since the Saratoga convention in
1900. when General Chas. y. Bulger of
Oswego, representing Senator Hill,
putting his finger almost under the
nose of Richard Croker. denounced
Tammany hall and it's politics, Tam
many has waited as an organization to
present its compliments to Mr. Hill.
and although it is perfectly apparent
that the interests dominated by Mr..
Hill control a large majority of the
conventions vote. it is a foregone con-
clusion that such orators as Bourke
Cochran, Thomas +. Grady, Chas. A.
Towne and Victor Dowling, Will be or

accusing Mr. Hill of attempting to
wreck the party
These are not statements but mere
SupBOSlllOIls lOT diAnOuSn Leader CndS.
+. Murphy of Tammany hall will not
say a word tonight, and although For
mer Senator Hill is equally reticenT,
those who are extremely close to them
are tonight making definitely these as
sertions:
First-On behalf of Mr.. Hill, that
unless Tammany withdraws what he
calls useless opposition to the instruc-
tion of the state delegation for Judge
Parker, Tammany win be practically
read out of the convention, the dele
cations in its favor outside of Manhat-
tan being refused a seat in the conven-
ton and Tammany as a body will be
not allowed to name a national dela-
gate at large.
Second-On behalf of Murphy, as
representing Tammany hall, that New
York has met defeat in the national
convention only, when it has instructed
its delegation, that because of the fact
that the party platform and policy are
as yet vaguely defined, it is unwise to
send an instructed delegation; that
Tammany, casting the greatest propor-
ton of the democratic vote in the state,
is entitled to name a delegate at large:
that the democratic state committee
should not be elected at this conven-
ton, but that matter should wait until
the fall convention, when the state is
sues are dominant.
