ENGLAND TIRINe OF JAPAN.

England and Japan are allies. Its
a great scheme. The Japanese are
thoroughly satisfied, for the reason
that they believe q treaty to be a one
sided affair, In which some other
nation bids for the friendship Of Nip
pom. While the citizens Of the Island
Realm are smiling blandly over the
alliance, it is interesting to gather ex-
pressions from the English side.
Japan agreed to maintain an open
door in Manchuria and Korea, and
this promise she has faithfully kept
according to her standard OF honor.
The door, having been opened, the
passage has been crowded with Jap
anese merchants, under government
protection, and steadily, smilingly, the
English business man is being pushed
to the wall-unless he takes the hint
and gets out.
The coasting trade, that rested with
the British, is passing, under q de.

John Bull never viewed any subject,
particularly one of trade, from the
Oriental point OF view. The Britisher
has lungs like leather and a loud

roars that may bring unplatted con-
stellations within the vision Of Toxic,
John Bull may have been anxious for
that alliance in the first place, but he
did not contemplate such a barefaced
attempt to gobble everything in sight.
From all sides come murmurs from
the British commercial classes, over
the duplicity being practicied upon
foreign trades in that portion OF
Asia under Japanese influence. Eng
lish feeling is running high, and the
demand on the part Of the people for
a reckoning is likely to bring the Jap
anese to a realization Of the fact that
trade is a reciprocal affair, and hon
esty is the best policy.

BILLINGS AS a WOOL MARKET

BILLINGS AS A WOOL MARKET.
Billings is the most important wool
market in the northwest. More wool
is sold here. and at higher prices, than
at any other point. H
At the present+moment Billings has
as her guests 9 number of the heaviest
buyers of the colntry-men who come
to this marketsevery year, and who
pay top notch prices.
It has only been a few days since
the largest sales Of wool ever made in
the United States, was recorded at
this place. This#was made possible by
the fact that Billings affords the best
market, and that here buyers may be
found who are prepared to purchase
in any quantity.
