If traffic increases, as seems more than
probable.
Business conditions seem fairly sat
isfactory, the outlook being for q
good average volume Of business this
autumn, but no boom. The wal be.
tween capital and labor may not yet
be ended; hut the crisis seems TO have
been passed, and important lessons
have been learned on both sides, which
should at least serve to diminish frie.
ton and trouble in the future. The
presidential campaign, strange to say,
is scarcely a factor in the situation,
Not since the wan has the election of
IA President created so little excite
ment; mainly because of the absence
of disturbing issues. Even the tariff,
the principal subject of controversy,
is not likely to undergo any serious
change for some time to come.
The money market remains easy in
spite of more liberal currency ship
ments. The latter will probably in
crease in force and cause n steady
diminution Of surplus revenues at this
point; but there are more than sufi'
cient funds in sight to meet all prob.
able requirements. Reports Of a big
Russian loan may possibly affect the
international exchanges, but this is
premature. A Russian defeat would
certainly have n stimulating effect In
the foreign markets.
Now that the vacation period is
over and business promises to become
more active, speculation shows "A reviv'
ing tendency. Manipulation is daily
growing more aggressive and the oper-
ations of various pools and eliques are
of increasing Importance. The market,
therefore, will bear closer watching;
for, while the tendency under existing
conditions may be towards higher
prices, the Inducements for realizing
grow stronger with the advance. Big
leaders are still bullish on the situa-
tion and are holding the stoeksi so
that the situation has not been weak
ened by excessive public buying.
Nevertheless, profits should be taken
on sharp rallies, for there is still a
possibility of crop damage.

n EARLY four thousand islands
comprise the empire of Japan,
with a total area Of 1918
square miles. Only 500 islands, how
ever, are Inhabited, the remaining isles
being mere heaps of rocks. The chief
islands are five In number, the Hondo
or Main Land" with an area of S7,771
square miles; Shikoku, south Of and
separated from Hondo by a shallow
channel, with an area of 1000 square
miles; Kiushiu, west of Shikoku, with
the BungO channel between, area 49,
b87 square miles; Yezo, north of Hondo,
with narea Of 3O,143 square miles;
and Formosa, off the coast Of China,
area 13,418 square miles.
The Japanese archipelago occupies
the same latitude as that part Of Amer
lea between Savannah and Halifax.
Formosa, which Japan obtained as the
result of the Chino japanese war, lies
between the same parallels as Tampa
and Havana. The chief group is sep
arated from the Philippines to the south
by the Bashi channel, from China by
the Formosa channel, ninety to hum
dred miles wide; from Korea by
Broughton channel, less than twenty
five miles wide; from the Russian is
land of Saghalien by La Perouse
strait, twenty-five miles wide, and
Kamtchatka by the Kurile strait Be-
tween the japanese archipelago and
the Asiatic coast Of Korea and Man
churta lies the Sea of Japan.
The population Of Japan was esti-
mated at 3,152,998, according to the
last census, taken in 1898. There are
four classes, in the following proper
lions; Imperial family, So; nobility,
4.551; gentry, 2,1O5,696; common peo-
pie, 41,O50,5 SOS. In these figures are in
cluded 1853 Amos, of Hokkaido, TO-
sol Japanese living abroad, and 1864
foreigners. In addition, however, are
the 100000 inhabitants of Formosa,
so that the present population is esti-
mated at 100000. Hondo, the chief
island, is the most densely populated
part of the empire, having S81 people
to the square mile, and its southern
districts have 475 inhabitants to the
square mile. OF recent years there
has been a rapid concentration of pop
uIation in the cities. There were sew
enty- eight towns, according to the
census Of 1898, having population Of
10000 or over.
Because Of the insular character of
their home the Japanese in recent years
have taken greater interest in their
navy than their army They have
added to their fleets as rapidly as their
means would permit, so that at the be-
ginning of the war with Russia they
possessed ships having a total tonnage
Of 100000. Aside from four torpedo
gunboats, twenty torpedo boat destroy
ers, with ten building, forty-si tor
pedo boats, with many more building,
Japan's fleet has a displacement of
111,974 tons. 1t consists of six battle
ships, six armored cruisers and four
teen protected cruisers. OF the battle
ships four have displacement of more

not throw as great q broadside as do
the japanese Russia has no dock
yards in the East where she can re-
pair her ships, except at Vladivostok,
which is still locked in ice. In the Rus
sian navy there are ten admirals,
twenty eight vice admirals, thirty
seven rear admirals, 102 captains, 252
commanders, 1912 junior officers, 500
engineers and other officers and men to
bring the total up to sixty thousand,
or nearly twice the war footing of
Japan.
Russia has always boosted Of her
army. 1t has been estimated that the
total war footing Of the Russian army
after calling out all the reserves
amounts to 5,250,000 men, or more than
ten times that of Japan. In times Of
peace 100000 young men are annually
liable to military service. For mill
into thirteen districts, each under a.
high general officer. The soldiers are
drawn from the ignorant peasant class,
and the officers from the governing
ranks Of society. Should Russia call
out all her troops she will have 1887
officers, 5,180,958 soldiers, 61S,40O
horses and 1000 cannon. Germany is
the only nation that exceeds Russia in
Its military equipment, the German
war footing being 65,862 officers and
5,585,000 men. In case Of dire neces-
sity, however, Russia could call on the
remainder Of her male population, and
thus produce an army that would be
the greatest the modern world has ever
seen.
The wealth Of Russia has increased
most rapidly in the last twenty years.
The chief financial institution Of the Rus
slams Is the Bank Of Russia, which has
113 branches throughout the country. The
paper currency Of the empire is issued by
this bank. Its capital is SIG, 500, 900, and
its total issue of paper In January, 1903
was $315,O00,000, with a guarantee fund
Of nearly $5OO,OO0,OO0. The estimated
stock of Russian gold for last year was
$746, 000, 900 twelve times more than that
of JAPAN, and OF silver, $1O4, 600, 900
(three and one-third times more than
Japan's). The records of all the various
banks show 4.517,342 depositoTs; $491 317, :
622 in deposits, with an average deposit
for each inhabitant Of $3.4S.
Much of Russia's internal trade is still
carried on at great fairs of which seven
are still held annually, at Moscow, Khar-
kov. Yelizavetgrad, Kursk, Irbit and
Nishni- Novgorod. The exports and i'm
ports from other countries for the whole
empire in 1900 amounted to $727, COZ, 900,
or nearly three times those Of Japan.
OF this trade the imports into European
Russia amounted to 1922, zoe, 900, and into
Asiatic Russia to s24,0O0, 900. The ex-
ports across the European boundaries
amounted to 1869, zoo, 0OO and the Asiatic
81, 10000. Among Russia's chief i'm
ports are raw and half manufactured ar
ticles, of which cotton, metals. coal. wool.
silk, leather, hides. skins and chemicals
constitute one-half Cereals and flour
comprise half Of Russia's exports, others
being timber, naphtha, flax and hemp. oil
cake, oil grains, and other raw mate
rials.

than $4,000 tons each. The remainder
are of more than $4,000 tons. All are
supposed to have a speed Of eighteen
knots an hour. The armored cruisers
are of the same size, Just a little less
than 10000 tons. The protected cruis-
ers range in size from 200 to 400
tons displacement. One has a speed
of twenty-four knots an hour. Japan
! has the great advantage Of being able
to use her own fortified ports as naval
bases. She has four well equipped
dockyards, capable Of both construct
ing and repairing ships. In the Jap
anese navy in 1902 there were adj
| mirals 8 vice admirals, % rear ad-
| mirals, IS captains, 119 commanders,
1877 lieutenant commanders, 220 lieu
tenants, 1926 sub-lieutenants, besides
other subordinate officers, and 31,68S
sailors.
The Japanese army has war foot
/ ing of 421, 900 men, Military service is
compulsory and the army, so far as
military instruction is concerned, has
adopted Germany as a model. The
army is divided into three groups, the
permanent establishment, consisting of
$500 officers and 10000 men; the re-
serve, Of $4,000 additional men, and a
territorial reserve which would bring
another 10000 men into line. The
artillery numbers 1900 guns, and the
cavalry 10000 horses.
Since Japan was opened to the
world, 1t has been rapidly growing in
wealth. Six great banks and 1902
smaller institutions carry on the bank
ing business. The Bank of Japan,
founded in 1882, has a capital of $15,-
100000. In the 6S1 banks there were
deposits in 1900 amounting to $780,
534,330, or $2.79 per capita. The unit
of circulation Is the yen, worth so
cents, which is divided into 100 sen.
Smaller coins are 5, 10, 20 and so sen
pieces.
Fivefold has been the increase of the
foreign trade in the last five years.
Japan's imports and exports in 1901
amounted to $272,406, 900. The leading
countries from which Japan obtains her
| imports and the value of the commerce,
are as follows: England, $50, 656,SO0;
