Japanese in the Wool Market.

Japanese enterprise in various man
ufacturing industries is being felt in
the japanese markets by British and
German traders. Ernest L. Harris, COM
mercial agent at Eibenstock, Germany,
writes on this subject:
The products of Japans industries
are gradually forcing themselves into
various markets of the world where
their competition is being keenly felt
by English and German traders Japa-
nese ingenuity and industry are begin
ming to exert an influence to such an
extent that their exports are increas-
ing, while at the same time the mar
kets in Japan are passing more and
more into the hands of home manufac-
turers. This is causing reduction of
imports. 1t has long been thought that
the Japanese were masters of the art Of
imitation, but it is now generally adj
mitted the world over that they also
possess powers of great initiative.
"A recent report of the British consul
at Kobe records the fact that the i'm
port of cotton yarns shows big de-
crease, due to the increased growth of
the japanese industry which is gradu-
ally but surely ousting Lancashire
coarse cottons from the japanese mar
ket Among wooden manufacturers the
outlook Tor imported goods is not very
bright The manufacture of fiannels in
Osaka has improved to such an extent
that imports of this article have fallen
off considerably. japanese manufac-
turers today are producing the cheap
est kind of cotton underwear, socks,
toilet soaps and lamps. The indigo and
tobacco trades are also rapidly passing
into Japanese hands"
