Japan Gaining Rapidly
in Foreign Trade

HE returns of Japanese foreign
trade for the first ten months Of
/ 1906, just issued by the consulate
general of Japan in London, show
that the total commerce amounted to
S337,71S,553, as compared with $329,
e4S.S56 in the corresponding period of
1905, an increase OF about per cent.
The exports advanced from $123.4 .461s-
e44 TO s164,022,e49, and the imports
fell from s205.5ST.725 to s173.695.S04
Something of decrease was naturally
to be looked for, comments the London
Financial Times, as the comparison is
still largely with a period suffering
from the effects of the war. when inn
ports were abnormal and exports were
restricted by the contraction in the In
dustrial output.
The chief declines in the imports are

Curacao Suffers From
the Lack of Rain

IoNsUL E. N. CHENEY reports
that the West Indian island of Gu
I Jracao has been passing through a
business depression from causes
which he explains as follows:
Not more than one inch a month Of
rain has fallen in four years, and fully
half of that was inside OF two months
The latter part of 1905 the ground be-
came almost destitute of water Num-
bers of cattle. sheep, goats and donkeys
died of starvation or thirst. Much hay
was brought from New York, but its
cost was too great to carry far into the
Interior The owners of stock had no
money; there was no farming. and gar
dening was reduced to the lowest point
ever known, being confined only to vi
entities of few wells with windmilIs
attached.
Continued business depression in
venezuela has also affected Curacao
There has been a further drop in price
of real estate; upon more and more of

close. till the bank itself is land poor.
Fortunately, during 1905 the straw-hat
business took new life. The whole ISL
and-men, women and children-seem
to have gone TO braiding hats The
Government opened school of instruc-
the art. that they might teach the
poor. Attention was given to the finer
grade of hats, and the product for 1905
was approximately valued at s125,00O.
Imports continue to be about one
half from the United states and 1t will
be hard TO improve on that condition,
as every great country in Europe has
lines of steamers touching here: be-
sides, many classes OF European goods
are cheaper and credits are longer
What is greatly desired is a parcels
post, which would let variety of small
parcels of American products into the
islands by mail.
