NO TRADE WITH JAPAN.
Alklbourne, Alay 23.
The Ago, commenting on the possibility of the development of trade between Australia and Japan, says one of tho influences stimulating production with a view to export is tho prospect of trade with Japan, but tho Consular report on the foreign trade of Japan for the quarter ended September last places the Japanese market in a very unfavourable light as an outlet for Australian products. During tho quarter Japan imported Australian goods valued 193,000 dollars, making a total for the nine months of only 520,000 dollars. These figures support tho contention that the main feature of tho trade will bo tho export from Japan to Australia. The Ago quotes from the Consular report to the effect that nothing in tho present or prospective requirements of Japan warrants the extravagant hopes now outortained of Australia speedily finding or creating a profitable extensive market in Japan.
