JAPANESE WOOL TARIFF.
The Bradford correspondent of an Australian paper, writing on April 7, stated that the event of tho week in the West Hiding woollen circles was undoubtedly the publication of tho particulars respecting the commercial treaty with Japan. During the past three months tremendous weights of fabrics have been sent from this district in order to get thorn into Japanese ports by July 1. "The question being, discussed to-day is: "What effect are these new duties going to have upon woollens and worsteds manufactured hf-re, anjl intended for tho Japanese market? It is certain that that country cannot? absorb anything like the weight of goods which has been recently shipped, and experts uflirm that it wiil fciko fully two or three seasons before that market assumes a normal aspect. . . • . Japanese mills are not in many cases running to-day at a profit, and this notwithstanding that natives are working for 6(1. per tidy. Only the very plainest fabrics are. being made, and tho Japanese are altogether incompetent in handlin" textile machinery."
