Beer Trust in Japan.

The Yokohama Mail reports the for
nation of Japanese beer trust, the
three beer companies, the Nippon, the
Sapporo and the Osaka having agreed
to unite and form one concern. This
result is said to have been brought
about largely by the advice f the min
lister of state for agriculture and COM
merce. The nu'acture of beer in
Japan amounted to 100000 gallons in
1904, being almost double the produc-
ton for 1902, However, the produc-
ton of 1901, before the imposition of a
tax, reached 4,sO0,O0O gallons, The ex-
ports of beer in 1904 were valued at
1915, 900, while for the last ten months
of 1905 the exports reached $3.50. 900.

his mare, he turned to the wooded hills

Presently he could hear galloping
horse and faint halloo down the val
