IJAPAN'S TRADE
GETTING OUT
Of RUT

Since War, Commerce
Body Reports.
By TOM EVERRITT,
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

ny cosmopolitan news ScEVICcs
Japan is more than holding her
own in international trade activities,
according to a report of the United
States Department of Commerce,
which says, 1.-The present economic
position of Japan shows consider
able improvement over conditions
prevailing at the same time last
year.
Postwar readjustments so long
delayed in that country are gradual
1y working themselves out and 1t
seems at this time that the process
will be well advanced by the end
/, of the year, continues the report,
which goes on to say, During the
first four months of 1928, imports
of raw materials for use OF japanese
factories increased, as compared
with the same period last year, and
imports of items to be consumed
wholly in Japan, such as foodstuffs.
have declined. Imports of luxury
and semi-luxury items, such as
automobiles and wooden textiles; in
creased, showing a healthy financial
feeling throughout the country.
Total imports We're less than in the
first four months 'of 1922, and the
foreign trade balance was more
favorable to Japan" 49,.
/ 4 Silk Exports Heavy.
According to the analysis made
by the Far Eastern Division Of the
Department of Commerce, of which
the above is q part, the following
pictures of Japan's trade progress
are presented. "Raw silk exports
heavy. Export trade, which to
Japan, means roughly raw silk, silk
textiles, cotton textiles, and cotton
yarn, was very satisfactory. Raw
silk and cotton exports show large
increases over the corresponding
period last year, while silk textiles
remained about the same.
Trade balance improves. During
the 1928 period, imports exceeded
exports by 2O3, 954,00O yen. During
the same period last year, the adj
verse balance reached 337, 1854 900
yen.
Financial position strengthened.
The financial position is consider
ably stronger. Money has at no
time been especially scarce and new
enterprises have continued to be
launched and old institutions have
extended their capitalization. The
largest amount of capital has been
hDSOIDCu Dy
banking, shipping companies, COM
mercial concerns and railroad con-
struction projects.
Yen's Position Improves.
Economic position better. Gold
holdings both abroad and at home
have declined slightly, but at the
same time note circulation has
diminished. The yen, which has
stood at a little less than par on
the New York exchange during the
last few years, has continued to
improve.
Labor conditions improving. On
the whole, labor conditions seem
to be improving. Strikes of any
consequence are on the decrease
and wages are being maintained at
a somewhat higher scale.
Crop conditions good. Crop con-
tditions in Japan are generally
speaking very satisfactory. The
last rice crop was the third largest
in history. Farmers are receiving
better prices for their products than
ever before in the face of bumper
yields.
shipping active. Prevailing con-
ditions in shipping circles are mark
ed with prosperity

Sugar Prices Again Material Increase In
 Go to High Leuels Cotton Acreage Seen

ATLANTA. Ga, March 1.-tBy Asso- ciated ress.1-Preparation for the com ing farming season are well under way. and reports from various sections indicate there will be a material increase in cotton acreage, 1t was noted today in the month fly business review of the Sixth federal dis trict
 Much more interest is being manifested in the cotton crop than in evidence at this time last year and rather optimis tic reports are being received from sec tions where the boil WeeVi was less active during the past season., the review says. The farmers are in substantially better position this year than at the beginning of the last season. because of the more sat isfactory returns received from their 1922 crops, having liquidated practically all of their Indebtedness.
 Large supplies of fertilizer are being purchased along with blows. machinery and various kinds of farm implements. In some parts of the district blowing has been held in cheek because of rainy weather, out preparation of the land is fairly well advanced for this season of the year. and much of the north Georgia bottom land that could not be broken last spring has already been prepared for the coming sea son..
 The aggregate value Of live stock on the farm of the six states comprising the district on January l this year was S425.- :.t0p. compared with Sf25.0i9. 2s0 of the same date year ago. it was stated.
 Alabama reports indicated an increase of more than g. 500.000 in the value of horses mules. milch cows. swine and sheep. Decreases in the total value of farm animals were shown in Florida, Geor- gia, Louisiana and Mississippi. but an in- crease of more than 2,750,000 indi- cated from Tennessee. There increases were noted in both numbers and value of animals over last year.
 There has been no great increase in the numbers of any class of live stock" the review declares. but with exception of horses and mules. the tendency 10 decline has been stopped. while beef cattle and swine show substantial increase"
 The value of animals by states showed Tennessee in the lead with ss5.294 900. Georgia next with ss7,Ss9000. followed by Alabama with ss0.033,00o, Mississippi s7&.- 34l,70o. Louisiana s66,0ss,0oo and Florida
