Japanese Wooden
Market Weaker
Demand on Increase Despite
Continuing Depressing FL
nancial Conditions.

During the height of war and
postwar prosperity, not as much
speculative business was done in
the Japanese wooden textile mar
ket as in the cotton muslins mar
ket. and when the reaction came in
1890, more confusion, consequently,
was experienced in the muslins
market than in the woolen market,
reports Commercial Attache Butts
at Tokyo to the Department of
Commerce. However. the Oriental
Economist November IL, l92)
states, contrary to the subsequently
brisk muslins market, prices for
woolens have been growing weaker
month by month.
In spite of the continuing de-
pressed financial conditions in ia
pan, the demand for woolens has
been on the increase because cur
rent prices are about one-half when
compared with the previous high
peak prices. Every wooden mill in
Japan, nevertheless, has largely re-
duced its output since the -depres-
sion Of 1920. One manufacturer.
who formerly produced practically
SO per cent OF all the heavy wooden
fabrics made in Japan, has discon-
tinued manufacture for the general
market, and is now engaged solely
on government contracts.

tember 1920. to 4.037 metric tons,
valued at ss22,31s in January-Sep-

valued at S12s33,O43 in 1920. to 2s,-'
736 metric tons, valued at s5.73s,-
255 in 1921. Imports of soya bean
oil showed a slight increase, from
