TRADE BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN.
The Sydney Morning Herald says : — It is not well to be too sanguine, it seems, that any great development will suddenly take place in trade from this country with Japan, whatever may happen from Japan to Australia commercially. A report from Yokohama says that nothing will be done in frozen beef, for instance, as the Japs don't care a straw for beef, and don't know how to cook it. As for mutton, they wouldn't have it if they could get it for nothing. They won't look at it, and if they would China could supply them easier, it seems, than Australia. By-ancl-by the Japanese will manufacture their own woollen and woollen-and-cotton fabrics, just as they now manufacture their cotton. But when that will be there is no means of judging. A trade in leather may be developed. What may be done, it is thought, by Australian producers is to establish stores for the sale of Australian wines, bacon, hams, tinned meats, fruits, and so on, for the use of the foreign resident* in both Japan and China.
