SPANISH TRADE Genefally Sp;a—km_g,— Country Has Increased Exportations (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Madrid, Ausg. 30.—The Monthly Statistical Review of the Foreign Commerce of Spain, a government the current number of which has just been issued, is full of surprising information. It shows the most éxtraordinary ups and downs in Spain’s foreign trade for this year, as compared with the period just an- ledating the war. Generally speak- ing, the figures show a considerable dimunition in importations and a very material increast in exportations during the first six months of 1915, as compared with the first half of 1914. From January to June, 1914, Spain imported to the value of $114,642,- 000 (taking the peseta at its normal value of $.193), while in the same period of this year the importations totaled $109,817,000—a drop of $4,- 825,000 for the half year. On the other hand, the exports for the first half year of 1914 were only $91,289,- 000, while this year the figure reached $121,204,000—a gain of $29,- 915,000, constituting an influx of $11,387,000 into the pockets of the Spaniards instead of a trade balance against them of $23,353,000, as was the case last year, However favorable this may be for some of the Spanish population, it is nevertheless one of thp moving causes of the present financial crisis in the government of the country, because it has worked a decrease in the customs receipts of from $20,- 458,000 to $13,124,000. -a deflcit in the assets of the government of $7,- 334,000 which it is forced to make up with more direct forms of tax- ing an already overtaxed people. Cotton and Wool. The decrease of imports does not, however, include certain raw ma- terials, such as cotton and wool. The manufacture of cotton and woolen goods are two of the most important industries in Spain. Before the war there were about 70,000 cotton and about 9,000 woolen looms in Cata- lonia. To fecd these in the first half of 1914, $14,668,000 of baled cotton was imported and $8,878 of plain, unwashed wool. TUnder the stimulus of the war, however, in the first six months of this year $27,699,000 of raw cotton and $1,447,600 of un- washed wool went into the country from abroad. Some idea of what became of this enormous increuse of imports may be obtajned from a glance at the in- crease of certain manufactured arti- cles of these two classes of raw ma- terials. For esample, the exports of Wwhite cotton cloth in the first six raonths of each year have jumped from $273,281, the figure in 1914, to $3,408,610 in 1915; corduroys and cimilar stuffs have gone from $7,720 to $2,219,600; piece goods and under- wear from $965,000 to $3,184,5600; stockings, gloves and cotton knit goods from $120,046 to $817,715. In the field of woblen goods the fig- ures are equally surprising. The ex- ports of woolen yarns in the first six months of the year have risen from $41,688 in 1914, to $490,606; woolen blankets from $5,9756 to $6,979,5679; woolen knit goods from $16,685 to $3,132,004. But woolen goods with an admixture of cotton "have ad- vanced in Spain’s export even more in proportion—from $102,994 in 1914 for the first six months to $5,305,- 636 for the same period in 1915. In sum, the balance of excess of ex- ports over imports in the field of cot- tons and woolens was, in the first half of 1914, $2,386,059, while this vear in the sama term it has amount- ed to $20,386,059. A Pig Iron Exports, One other example of products of use in war by the exports of which Spain has profited is given in iron. Pig in the first half of 1914 was cxported to the extent of $123,- 906, while this year $1,022,900 worth of pig iron left the ports of Spain from January to June. Manufac- tured iron, however, is the most ex- traordinary example of mushroom increase. The tirst half of 1914 only $9,071 of this prouct was exported, while in the same period of the pres- ent year over a hundred times that amount has been shipped abroad. On all articlez not in some way connected with the hostilities in Eu- rope the decrease in exportation has been almost equally surprising, and as these, in total, amount to more than the specialized products of utility in war tiie indications are not such as argue a great prosperity for Spain. Tn general the decrease is about one-third, though in certain luxuries it is decidedly lower. Gold and silver, jewellery and and silver plate, for example, in the first six months of 1914 were exported to the extent of $695,000. This year the figure has been only $81,060. Most foodstuffs are in the same class, save only rice, the export of which has in- creascd sixteen times, and dried peas the export of which has in- creased from §64,112, to $1,061,500. Spanish wines, in general, have suf- fered a fifty per cent decrease in ex- portation. publication, iron For Your Insurance and Surety Bonds Avold trouble by having your insur- ance written by a man who knows how.

JAPAN PLANS T0 HOLD ISLANDS South Sea Inhabitants Visit Their Neighhbors (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Tokio, August- 28.—Since the cap- ture of the South sea Islands from Germany by the British-Japanese fleets, Japan has been exerting every effort to spread her influence in these islands, which are now in her pos- gession. The question of the perman- nant occupancy, however, will not be settled until after the war. Japan recently sent technical com- missions to studv the islands from a commercial standpoint, and fol- lowed that up by despatching a special steamer filled with Japanese newspapermen on a tour of inspec- tion. Now, Japan is entertaining the royalty of the islands. There is one full-fledged king and twenty-one other chieftains of various degrees who have been brought here on a naval transport from the islands of Kusai, Jaluit, Seypan, Yap, Pelew and Ponapi in the Csroline group which have been wrested from German con- trol and are now under Japanese ad- ministration. Roughly, these islands lie between the United States island possession of Guam and the Philip- pines. Islanders Visit Japan. The head of the party now visiting Tokio is John Siegrah, otherwise call- ed King of Kusai. He and his fellow chieftains have out-tivalled the most untiring tourists in sight-seeing- They have been constantly entertained at luncheon and dinner by leading Jap- anese and have received a large as- sortment of presents, including wrist watches, silk kimonos, parasols and other articles as souvenirs of their visit. King John Siegrah, when asked about his impressions of Japan, said that he and his friends heartily ap- preclated the cordial treatment by the Japanese, As to the Japanese ad- ministration in the islands he said there had not yet been time to form a true estimate of the mew order of things. Although the German admin- istration had, ne complained, adopt- ed high-handed ineasures in monop- olizing certain enterprises, generally speaking the Germans had been suc- cessful in their colonial policy in the South Sea. He was certain, however, that the native irlanders were more familiar with Japanese people and customs than they had been with German., No Drinks- The only drawbacks to the visit to Japan, according to King Siegrah, were that it was altogether too hot and that they were not allowed to touch any alcoholic drinks during their stay. But they were all de- lighted with the opportunity to obtain a wider outlook on things. Some of the chiefs have visited Europe and know something of occi- dental civilization from personal con- tact. All have learned something of the United Stales and Europe from American missionaries who have been stationed irn their islands. Most of them speak Iinglish and several French and German.
