TRADE WITH FAR EAST.
Marked Reduction in Exports to
China and Japan.

A marked characteristic of the export
trade of the United States in recent months
is reduction in the value of exports to
China and Japan. The total value of mer-
chandise exported to China in the eight
months of 1895. while to Asia. as whole
$50. 100000 against $40. 100000 in the CORE
spending months of 1905 and to Japan SOL
100000. against $39.OO0.UO0 in the same
months of 1876 while to Asia. as whole,
the exports are but S5s.OOO.0OO as against
500, OO0. COO in the corresponding months of
1905
The cause of this startling reduction in
China the report gives as two abnormal
conditions of demand. namely. the Russo
Japanese war practically closing the north
ern part of China to expectations. resulting
in unusually large orders Immediately aft
erward: and the order of the Chinese
