JAPAN'5 TRADE
WITH j. 8. IS
GROWING
Department Of Commerce An
nounces That Exports and
Imports Increase
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGHr

The reported growing feeling
against the United States IN Japan
as a result Of the Oriental exclusion
act appears to be having no in
fluence on the commercial relar
lions of the two nations, mutually
dependent for a large number OF
commodities.
Department of Commerce figures
disclose that the heavy inter-trade
relations marking 1924 are continu-
| ing this year. Declared exports
from Japan to the United States in
February, the last available month,
amounted to $26, 100000, against
/ $22, 800 900 in January.
| The most important items in the
February trade were raw silk,
| $21 400 900; waste silk and textiles,
$4,000, and chemicals and drugs,
$42O. 900.
CHINESE TRADE.
Japan's trade with China was
| likewise satisfactory in February
exports having totaled 76,208, 900
!, yen, compared to 67,044,000 yen in
january, Japan, the natural source
Of supply for a large number OF
manufactured needs of China, is a
strong competitor of the United
| States, Great Britain and Germany
in. the Chinese markets
Japan took cotton import In
February aggregating 121,969, 900
pounds, against 77,114,000 pounds
! in January. A considerable guam
tity originated in the United States.
Raw cotton consumption of the
Japan Cotton Spinners' Association
mills was S5,377, 900 pounds in Janu-
airy, a decrease over December, but
the February consumption was ex-
pected to go higher.
"One of the noteworthy develop
ments in Japanese circles is the
marked advance in exchange" the
Department of Commerce said
THE national debt, however, con-
tinues to increase, the report for
the close of February showing g.
total of 1885, 100000 yen, an in
crease of 24,000,000 yen during the
month. The February total repre-
sents domestic loans aggregating
TAI 600, 900 yen and foreign obli-
cations of 1,514, 100000 yen. In adj
dition to these were outstanding at
the end of February extraordinary
exchequer notes and other short
ing $50, 100000 yen.
CAPITAL INCREASES.
The department learned that
there was a marked increase in
capital flotations. during February.
The greater part of the increase
was due to government loan flota-
tions, which totaled 189 900, 900 yen
IN February.
The steady advance in the cost
of living in Japan has been halted,
according to the information, the
Bank of Japan's index number OF
| wholesale commodity prices hav-
ing fallen to 278 for February
against 283 In January and 217
for February, 1924.
The heavy influx of imports has
been reflected in warehouse stocks
throughout the country, the Mitsu-
Dishi report showing a total OF
$50, 000, 900 yen at the close OF
February. This representa- an ad-
vance of 100000 yen compared
to January, owing principally TO
heavier stocks of raw cotton, wool,
sugar and iron and steel materials.
