IN JAPAN.
The Demand For Them Appears to
He Almost without Limit.


Although the goldfish occurs in a
wild state In Japan, 1t Is probable that
China some 400 years ago furnished
the stock from which the wonderful
varieties Of japanese goldfish have
been bred. 1t Is reported that In feudal
days, even when famine was abroad In
the land and many people were starv-
ing, the trade in goldfish was flourish
ing.
The demand at present appears to be
without limit, and the output shows n
substantial increase each year. Many
thousand people make a living by grow
ing goldfish for market, and hundreds
Of peddlers carry the fish through the
streets and along the country roads In
wooden tubs suspended from a shout
der bar.
The leading goldfish center Is Kori-
yama, near the ancient capital of Nara.
Here are $50 independent breeding es-
Establishments, whose yearly product
