 ''It is true that our foreign trade amounts to possibly only five per cent of the total business done in this country, but, in the first place, any business man will tell you that five per cent difference often spells sue cess or failure as the case may be. In the second place, when we say that our foreign business amounts to only five per cent of the total business done in this country, remember that this is only a general average includ- ing every commercial and manufac- turing activity known.
 of the most important Of all in dustries, however, agriculture, the foreign trade is vastly larger than merely five per cent We must ex- port 25o,0oo,0e0 to 1000, 900 bush els of wheat Of the 100000 or 12 ,o0o, 900 bales of cotton which we produce yearly, 6,000,o00,o 900 bales must be sent abroad in order to find a market, and in Chicago we realize that the large packing establishments so vital to the business of the Middle West cannot prosper without a large foreign trade.

 CENSUS OF JAPAN
First Scientific Census in Island Empire Shows Ja- pan Proper to Have 55,- 961, ,140-Increase Is II Per 1000 Per Year.

Washington, July s2-The census of the Japanese Empire just completed shows that Japan proper has a total population of 55,961,10, of which 2S'- iO42 2995 are males and 27,91S,145 fe- males. This is the first census ever taken in Japan in accordance with Scfen tific methods
 When to the population of Japan proper is added those of Korea, For mosa, SaghaHen, the leased territory of Saghalian. the Tsingtao occupied territory and the South Sea manda- tory islands, all of which are claimed by Japan- the grand total is increased to 7S,25 900. These figures do not include Japanese or Japanese subjects in Siberia, China and other parts of the world who under Japanese law re tain their citizenship and are subject to military duty unless apphcanons for reuunciation of c1uzenShlp are approved by the Home Minister.
 Comparing this population with that of Japan in 1872, when the census showed g, ,311 ,oT6 persons in the en- tire Japanese Empire, there has been within the space of forfy-elght years an increase in the nfafe population or lation of Il, ,246,S ,S51, making a total Of s2.S5o PA or an average incretase of about II per 1000 per year
 The total trade of Japan for the year 1868 was given as 70 4e,efo yen, or about SIS, 1929 Since that time there has been a tremendous increase in trade the figures being approXi- matelys S21 ,3S9. .56O for 1874, S5, 59e,- IFS $50 for 1912 and $1 ,S61 ,661,514 for 1918, the last year for which of- fcial figures are available. During 1he war, Japanese trade increased by 1eaps and bounds, and the figures for 1920 are undoubtedly far in excess o1 those for 191s-
 Excess Brings Stagnation-
 The first railway was built in Japan sn 1sT2 connecting Tokio with the port of Yokohama Two years later Kobe and Osaka were connected by rail In 1876 the Kobe-Osaka line was extended to Kyote, the old mout- tain of Japan. Today there is a. per feet network of railway crossing the country and penetrating far into the egriculturaI and industrial sections Of t7e interior The total mileage or Government railways in Japan in 1917. the last year for which hg nres are available, was $500 miles with an additional 1907 miles Of light railways.
 Japan's mercantile fleet in 1887 con- sisted of 1SS vessels with a total ton nase of 490o. In 1917 there were 4o4s vessels with a tonnage of l. $50. 900 besides sailing vessels, mum boring over 25.000 and with a ton maze of 69o,ooo- During the war the shipping industry was perhaps the most thriving in Japan but today the industry is at the height of inactivity: due. it is stated, to the excess Of building brought on by the war.

unless foreign trade prospers, and how can foreign trade proper unless our customers in the interna uona1 field are prosperous?
 Surely, we want to set our own house in order, but a part of this setting in order must be the extend ing of credits to our customers abroad"
 American railroads, farms and many other industries of the country were developed during tina Nineteenth Century largely by British, French, German and Dutch capital invested in fixed assets in this country, Dr. Lichenstein added.

The statement Of Mr.. WHY'S in
part follows:
These receivership proceedings
should be regarded by all classes OF
creditors and stockholders as protec-
tive of their interests.

by the markets Of the week. After

counts reduced, money rates coming
down. They must have realized that
all this meant q lessening in the

have delayed action and have found
themselves this week in the mental
attitude Of latecomers at a bargain
sale, who see the counters being
rapidly swept bare.

It 10 time now for those who were
most sanguins on the outlook for the
Investment markets during the blue

their stand. True, bond prices on the
average are still some distance away

up ten to hfteen points from the low of
last June. The choicer first- t-class rail-
