BUSINESS IN JAPAN
FACTORIES VERY BUSY
"The depression is not being felt to the. same extent in Japan as in other countries," remarked Mr. O. "W. "S. Koh'n to-day on his return to "Wellington from the East. "The, factories in Japan are uniformly busy, and, owin^ to the colossal :buying from America ' and other countries^ deliveries are very difficult to obtain, and prices are constantly altering owing to the rate of exchange varying from hour to hour. For tfio majority of articles it is practically impossible to obtain a firm price for more than a few" hoar's." This situation may change now that -th 3 Christmas tr.ade has. been dealt with, ami it is-more than likely*for a "considerable time to come that the market generally for all classes of goods will show a firm tendency. A great many of the factories are \-er3' up to date ■m their methods, and have the latest types of machinery installed; Numbers of them arc working three shift! daily, seven days a week, in order t« cope, with the volume of business whi<s>, is pouring in upon them."
