De\r Sirs,— I have much pleasure in stating that I have known your Excavating Machine, which we attach to ordinary Cranes of different powers, from the time of your inventing it up to the present. I think it a very useful machine indeed, and I have at present eight or nine at work on my Contract for the Manchester Ship Canal. I consider it a very great advantage to have an Excavating Machine which can be attached^to an ordinary Crane, and I believe there is no difficulty m doing in fair ground 600 cubic yards per day with one attached to a lo-ton Crane ; this is upon the average of a month's work. I am, dear Sirs, yours truly, r^Iessrs. Whitaker Bros. THOMAS A. WALKER. p.c; Since receiving the above we have delivered nine more Excavators " for ?^Ir.

A considerable time ago I formed the idea of preparing a guide to supply this want, and in order to facilitate trade between England and Japan. But owing to the scarcity of materials obtainable in this country, I have been at great trouble to collect the necessary facts, and consequently the publishing of this work has been greatly delayed. I particularly request, should any information be found wanting in the present edition, that I may be acquainted with the fact, in order to revise and make additions to future issues of the directory. I may, however, mention that I have spared no effort to give the fullest and most reliable particulars possible. RIUZABURO TAYUI. Consulate of Japan, 84, Bishopsgate Street Within, London, E.G. PREFACE. Japan has enforced the attention of the world by the sword. But the future of Japan is a most interesting problem for thoughtful minds, in political, Social, and economic aspects. Commercially speaking, Japan is the Golden Gate through which the future wealth and progress of the East must pass to the West. Look, for a moment, at the economical history of the young country during the last 20 or 25 years. Her foreign trade, her industrial enterprise, her engineering skill, her shipping, and her railways — in a word, the new life of Japan has startled every civihsed nation. The war between Japan and China was the result, strictly speaking, of the struggle for material progress in the two countries ; and now^ the future of the East generally must depend upon the methods for their further development adopted by the victors. The Japanese know how to assimilate Western civilisation into their own model ; and there are vast fields to develop and enrich, not only in Japan, but in Korea and China. But how ? Only by commercial and industrial intercourse with the West, especially with the English speaking races. Mr. Tayui, being in the Japanese Consular Service, is naturally a most reliable authority on the material aspect of Japan from his knowledge gained in her service, in the East and in London. Just lately he has prepared for the Press a volume entitled "The Commercial Guide and Trade Directory of Japan," the first pubHcation of its kind, a work full of information to enter- prising business men, giving them the most authoritative reference and guidance regarding the past, present, and future commerce of Japan. I feel it my duty, partly as his friend, and partly as a keen promoter of Japanese progress, to write a short recommendation of this most useful and timely publication. I trust it will be widely read by business people both in England, Ame-rica, Austraha, and the East, where Enghsh is the commercial language. London, May, 1895. KOTARO MOCHIZUKI (Of Japan).

OF THfe GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF JAPAN < THE COMMEKCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIEECTOEY OP JAPAN. 27 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN. T^HE Government of the Empire of Japan was, imtil the year 1868, that 1 of an absolute monarchy, when the present Emperor overthrew, after a short war, the power of the Shogun (Mihtary Commander), together with that of the Daimios, or feudal nobles, who, on the 25th June, 1869, resigned their lands, revenues, and retainers to the Sovereign, by whom they were entitled to retain some part of their original revenues, and at the same time were ordered to reside in Tokio, the capital city, in future. Mutsu-Hito, the now ruling Emperor, was born at Kioto, on the 3rd of November, 1852; succeeded his father, Komei Tenno, 1867; married, December, 28th, 1868, to Princess Haruko, born April 17th, 1850, daughter of Prince Ichijo. The reigning Emperor is the 121st of an unbroken dynasty, which was founded 660 b.c. It was by the ancient and regular law that the Crown devolves upon the eldest son, and, failing male issue, upon the eldest daughter of the Sovereign ; and the latter case had happened at differ^ent periods. In the year 1889 a new law of succession was promulgated, which excludes females from the Imperial throne. The power of the Sovereign was formerly absolute, but its exercise was controlled to some extent by custom and public opinion. His Majesty, in 1875, when the Senate and Supreme Judicial Tribunal were founded^ declared solemnly his earnest desire to have a constitutional system of Government. His Majesty acts through an Executive Minister divided into nine departments, namely :—Gaimu Sho (Foreign), Naimu Sho (Home), Okura Sho (Finance), Kaigun Sho (Navy), Rikugun Sho (Army), Shihd Sho (Justice), Monbu Sho (Education), Noshomu Sho (Agriculture and Commerce), and Teishin Sho (Communications). 1 28 THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. In 1888 a Privy Council, modelled from that of Great Britain, was constituted. The new constitution promised by the Emperor in 1881, was proclaimed on the nth February, 1889, and in July, 1890, the first Parlia- ment was elected, and met on the 29th November. The Parliamentary system is bicameral, the House of Peers and the House of Representatives constituting the Imperial Diet. The Upper House is partly elected and partly nominated. The Lower House consists of 300 members, to be elected by ballot, and its duration is fixed at four years, but in case of necessity, the term may be prolonged. The Emperor nominates the Ministers forming the Cabinet. The Empire is divided, for the purposes of administration, into three Fu (Tokio, Kioto, and Osaka), and forty-three Ken (or prefecture). These Fu and Ken have Governors respectively, being controlled under Naimu Sho (Home Office). Nor have they any concern in judicial proceedings, which come under the cognisance of the forty-eight local Courts, and the seven Supreme Courts at Tokio, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Miyagi, and Hakodate, over which the Daishin In (Court of Cassation) presides at the capital City of Tokio. Previous to the last change of Government, which restored the ancient Imperial regime, the administrative authority rested with the Shogun, whom foreigners first recognised as the temporal power, and with whom they negociated treaties of peace and commerce. The Shogunate was founded in II 84 by Minamotono Yoritomo, a General who had conquered all his rivals and established himself as military commander, and this was con- tinued through several dynasties until 1869. Under the Shogun, twO' hundred and fifty Daimios shared the administrative power, being practi- cally supreme in their respective domains, and on condition of their loyalty to the Shogun ; but their rank and power disappeared with those of the Shogunate. On the 7th July, 1884, however, His Majesty issued an Imperial notification and rescript rehabilitating the nobility, and admitting to its ranks the most distinguished civil and military officials who took part in the work of the Restration. The titles have been replaced by those of Ko-Shaku (Prince), Ko-Shaku (Marquis), Haku-Shaku (Count), Shi-Shaku (Viscount), Dan- Shaku (Baron). i THE REIGNING EMPEROR AND FAMILY.

DESCRIPTION OF YOKOHAMA AND THE BLUFF. WITH OFFICIAL AND TRADE DIRECTORY. THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. 169 YOKOHAMA. YOKOHAMA is the principal treaty port of Japan, and was opened to foreign trade in the year 1859. It is on the Bay of Yokohama on the Western side of the Gulf of Yedo— lat. 35 deg., 26 min. 11 sec. N. ; long. 139 deg., 39 min. 20 sec— in the Island of Honshin, about 18 miles from the capital, Tokio, and with which it is connected by a line of railway. It was at one time a diminutive and unimportant fishing village, and owes its present position to its having been selected as a treaty port, instead of the little town of Kanagawa. The scenery around is hilly, and in clear weather the summit of Fuji-san can be seen covered with snow. This mountain is volcanic ; is about 12,370 feet high, and is depicted in many Japanese works of art. Yohohama is built of low tiled houses, and the town is divided into two equal parts ; the foreign element occupying the Western half — a sort of semi-circle of hills rises beyond where the town is built, called the "Bluff," a special concession having been granted to foreigners sub- sequent to founding the settlement, and many villas of handsome architecture are amidst, dotted about with beautiful gardens and charming scenery. The height of these hills, called the " Bluff," is about 150 feet above the settlement, and is very healthy. A long road runs along the water front called the Bund, and here are situated most of the principal houses, hotels and the United Club. The streets are well paved, kerbed and drained in the foreign settlement, which possesses also the Anglican, French Catholic, Union Protestant and native Mission Churches, with its cricket and recrea- tion grounds and race-course about two miles away. There is also a good boating club, a public hall, containing a theatre and assembly rooms, built of brick, situated on the top of Camp Hill, opened in 1885. The chief public buildings in the native town are the Kenato, opposite the British Con- sulate, the Town Hall and its clock tower, the Custom House, a fine build- ing erected in 1885. The Railway Station is both a commodious and well- buih terminus. Its large Water Works were completed in 1887. The harbour is much exposed, but the work of its improvement will soon be completed. There are two breakwaters of an aggregate length of atout 12,000 feet, and so projected as to enclose the entire anchorage. It is 650 feet wide between their extremities. A pier, 2000 feet long, where vessels can load and dis- charge goods is included in the scheme. Yokohama possesses good hotels and good accommodation. Four daily English papers are published, called the Japan Gazette, Japan Herald, Japan Daily Mail, and Japan Daily Advertiser. The Mail and Gazette are also published weekly. The population of Yokohama numbered in 1892, 143,252. Foreign residents 4,927, of whom 3,339 were Chinese, 763 British, and the others of different nationalities. 170 COMMEECIAL GUIDE AND TEADE DIEECTOEY OP JAPAN. STATE & PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

KOBE was opened to foreign trade in 1868, and Hiogo adjoining was declared, in 1892, by the Japanese Government to form part of that port. It is well situated on the Idzumi-Nada at the opening of the famous inland sea. Its harbour is excellent, and affords anchorage for vessels of all sizes. About a mile behind, a range of lofty hills rises, some of which rise to about 2,500 feet ; their sides are steep and covered with pines. Kobe and Hiogo stretch about three miles along the land between the hills and sea. Kobe is well laid out in the foreign concession, the streets being wide and well kept and hghted with gas. It has a Municipal Council, including the Governor, Foreign Consuls and three others elected from the community. The Bund has a magnificent stone embankment running the whole length of Kobe. The foreign houses are very neat, and the Railw^ay Station, called Sannomiya, close to the concession, has an English air about it. The terminus is at the other end of Kobe joining Hiogo, and here large carriage works are carried on. It possesses a good club, and a recreation ground in the East part. There are two churches in the concession — the Union Protestant and French Roman Catholic, and a native Protestant one in Kobe. The Hiogo News, Kobe Herald, Kobe Chronicle are the three foreign newspapers pubhshed there, besides their native ones. Kobe- Hiogo had a population in 1892 of 148,519. There were 553 foreign residents in Kobe, and 949 Chinese. The river Minato divided Kobe and Hiogo, across which is a well buih stone bridge. Little or no interest is to be found in Hiogo ; its roads and shops being much inferior to those of Kobe ; its population is also less. In the Temple of Shinkoji is a large bronze Buddha which is worth inspec- tion, and also a monument to Kiyomori, the Japanese hero, in a grove of trees, erected in the year 1286, close to the temple, claims attention. On the Kobe side of the Minato-Gawa there is also a temple to Kusunoki Masashige, famous in history for loyalty and bravery, dying on the spot, while fighting for the restoration of the Emperor Godaigo's power, in the year 1336. There is a patent slip at the Imperial ship-building yard at Hiogo, which can accommodate vessels of 2000 tons. Its length is 900 feet ; and above water 300 feet ; breadth, 38 feet ; dechvity, i in 20. The shp is worked by hydraulic power. 200 THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. Kobe is connected with Osaka by rail, the distance between being twenty miles. This line, which was subsequently extended to Kioto (the ancient capital of Japan), a distance of 27 miles from Osaka, was formally opened to traffic by the Mikado, on the 5th February, 1887. It was further extended to Nagoya in 1888, and thence by degrees to Yokohama and Tokio, and is now known as the Tokaido Railway. It was opened through its entire length (376 miles) in July, 1889. The connection gf these important places with Kobe by rail has naturally tended to centrahse trade at this fast rising port. The Sanyo railway is also now open as far as Mihara (Bingo), 135 miles from Kobe, and is being vigorously pushed on to Shim- onoseki, its ultimate terminus. Among the exports, tea, rice, camphor, copper, and vegetable wax, take the lead. The value of the import trade for 1892, was ;^36,22o,i75 ; that of the exports, ^22,345,665. In 1891 the value of imports was ;^25, 700,501 ; and that of the exports, ^"21, 733, 718. The quantity of tea shipped from Kobe-Hiogo was 22,066, i2olbs., in 1892, compared with 22,976,779lbs. in 1891. The whole of this went to the United States of America and Canada. Shipbuilding is an important industry of the port, and a large number of iron and wooden screw steamers are annually laid down there. THE COMMEECIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIEECTORY OF JAPAN. 201 OFFICIAL.

THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. 215 OSAKA. THE second City in point of size and commercial importance is Osaka, which is considered the Venice of the East, being intersected by so many canals. It is a well laid out and compact city, the streets being very regular, clean, and Hvely. Osaka is purely Japanese, and the visitor here finds much to interest him. It is in the province of Settsu, and built on the banks of the Ajikawa river, four or five miles from the sea. The river is navigable for small vessels only, but on the opening of the Railway to Kobe, the foreign trade fell off, and all the foreign firms have installed themselves at Kobe. The Castle is most imposing and well worth a visit, the famous 1 oyotomi Hideyoshi, built in the year 1583. Though not so large as that of Tokio, it is more imposing and next to that of Nagoya, the finest example of the ancient feudal castles of Japan.

The port Hes in latitude 41 deg. 47 min. 8 sees. N., and longitude 140 deg. 45 min. 34 sees. E., and the harbour nearly land locked. Hakodate Head is 1,106 feet high at the foot, and on the slope of which hes the town. The country is hilly and volcanic, but the town itself possesses no beauty. The part conceded to foreigners has never been built upon, they having taken up their quarters in Japanese houses. There is to be seen a row of beautiful temples with lofty roofs considerably higher than the rest of the town. A smaU but interesting Museum in the public gardens on the Eastern side, and in 1889 Waterworks were constructed to supply the town with pure water. The climate is very healthy. August is the hottest month, but the thermo- meter is rarely above 90 Fahr., and in winter sinks to 18 degrees. The population some four 3/ears ago was 52,693, being 69 foreigners, 33 of which number were Chinese. There are, however, 16 more Europeans in other places in Yezo. Foreign trade is smah in this port. The imports amounted to 12,100 in 1892, but in 1891 to 217,480 dollars. Under the auspices of Kaitakushi of the Colonization Department, the agricultural resources of Yezo have been greatly developed, and their pasture land good for breeding cattle. The valuable and important fisheries on the coast will lead to further exports, the dried fish and seaweed exported annually to China, &c. In mineral resources Yezo is rich, and will prove a valuable additional export. There are three coal mines m operation, one in Horonai and the other at Ikushumbetsu, and at Sirachi. It is connected with the capital by Telegraph. On the 28th Nov., 1880, a railway was opened from Otaru to Sapporo, 22 miles long, to the pubhc traffic, and has since been carried as far as Horonai where there are some large coal mines, the length of the line being in all 56 miles. In July, 1892, a branch line was opened to traffic to Ikushumbetsu, seven miles long, and another 143 miles from the coal mines of Muroran, a port on the south east side of the island. 230 THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. NIIGATA. lyrilGATA is situated on the west coast of Japan, and in the southern part IN of the province of Echigo, at the mouth of the river Shinano, Though well located for trade it has yielded the most disappointing results of all the Treaty ports of Japan. Foreign goods find their way to Niigata in con- siderable quantities, but since the opening of the port no direct foreign trade has been developed there. The imports in 1892 amounted to £\,b^2 and the exports to £1^,^62. The Town, which is one of the cleanest and best laid out in Japan, covers an area of rather more than one square mile, and consists of five parallel streets, intersected by cross streets, watered by canals, which communicate with the river. It has been materially improved within the last few years by the widening of the canals and streets, the latter of which are now lighted with petroleum obtained in the district. New Law Courts, Post Office, and Schools have been built, and the town is connected by telegraph with Tokio and other cities of the Empire. A Government Hospital and a Medical School, as well as a large EngHsh School, under English and American Masters, have been establ^ished here. A handsome building for the local Assembly was completed in 1884. A steam rice mill has been started, and some fresh industries have been commenced. The population of the town in December, 1891, was 47,201. THE COMMBECIAL GUIDE AND TBADE DIRECTOEY OF JAPAN. 231 THE HAKODATE DIRECTORY. CONSULATES. GREAT BRITAIN. Acting Consul, J. C.

Signed in the English, French, Dutch, and Japanese Languages, AT ToKio, 25TH June, 1866.

L. C. Portman, Esq., Charge d'Affairs ad interim ; And of Holland — Monsieur Dirk de Graeff van Polsbroek, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, Political Agent and Consul-General of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands ; 3^8 THE COiAIMEECIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIEECTORY OF JAPAN. The following convention comprising Twelve Articles. Article I. The contracting parties declare in the names of their respective Govern- ments that they accept, and they hereby do formally accept as binding on the subjects of their respective Sovereigns, and on the citizens of their respective countries, the Tariff hereby established and annexed to the present convention. This Tariff is substituted not only for the original Tariff attached to the Treaties concluded with the above-named four Powers, but also for the special Conventions and arrangements relative to the same Tariff which have been entered into at different dates up to this time between the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States on one side, and the Japanese Government on the other. The new Tariff shall come into effect in the port of Kanagawa (Yokohama) on the ist day of July next, and in the ports of Nagasaki and Hakodate on the ist day of the following month. Article II. The Tariff attached to this Convention being incorporated from the date of its signature in the Treaties concluded between Japan and the above- named four Powers, is subject to revision on the ist day of July, 1872. Two years, however, after the signing of the present Convention, any of the contracting parties, on giving six months' notice to the others, may claim a re-adjustment of the duties on Tea and Silk on the basis of 5 per cent, on the average value of those articles during the three years last preceding. On the demand also of any of the contracting parties, the duty on timber may be changed from an ad valorem to a specific rate six months after the signature of this Con\-ention. Article III. The Permit Fee, hitherto levied under theVIIth Regulation attached to the above-named Treaties, is hereby abolished. Permits for the landing or shipment of cargo will be required as formerly, but will hereafter be issued free of charge. Article IV. On and from the ist day of July next, at the port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), and on and from the ist day of October next, at the ports of Nagasaki and Hakodate, the Japanese Government will be prepared to warehouse imported goods, on the application of the importer or owner, without payment of duty. The Japanese Government will be responsible THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. 349' for the safe custody of the goods, so long as they remain in their charge^ and will adopt all the precautions necessary to render them insurable against fire. When the importer or the owner wishes to remove the goods from the warehouse, he must pay the duties fixed by the Tariff, but if he should wish to re-export them, he may do so without payment of duty. Storage charges^ will in either case be paid on delivery of the goods. The amount of these charges, together with the regulations necessary for the management of the said Warehouses will be established by the common consent of the contracting parties. Article V, All articles of Japanese production may be conveyed from any place im Japan to any of the Ports open to foreign trade, free of any tax or t-ransit duty other than the usual tolls, levied equally on all traffic, for the mainte- nance of roads or navigation. Article VI. In conformity with those articles of the Treaties concluded between; Japan and Foreign Powers, which stipulate for the circulation of foreign, coin at its corresponding weight in native coin of the same description, dollars have hitherto been received at the Japanese Custom House in pay- ment of duties at their weight in Boos (commonly called Itchiboos), that it to say, at the rate of Three Hundred and Eleven Boos per Hundred Dollars. The Japanese Government, being however desirous to alter this practice and to abstain from all interference in the exchange of native for foreign coin, and being also anxious to meet the wants, both of native and foreign commerce, by securing an adequate issue of native coin, have already determined to- enlarge the Japanese Mint so as to admit of the Japanese Government ex- changing into native coin of the same intrinsic value, less only the cost of coinage, at the places named for this purpose, all foreign coin or bullion in- gold or silver that may at any time be tendered to them by foreigners or Japanese. It being essential however to the execution of this measure, that. |-he various powers with whom Japan has concluded Treaties should first consent to modify the stipulations in those Treaties which relate to the currency, the Japanese Government will at once propose to those Powers the- adoption of the necessary modification in the said stipulations, and, on- receiving their concurrence, will be prepared from the ist of January, 1868,. to carry the above measure into eftect. The rates to be charged as the cost of coinage shall be determined. hereaft(5r, by the common consent of the contracting parties. Article VII. In order to put a stop to certain abuses and inconveniences complained of at the open Ports, relative to the transaction of business, at the Custom. 3-50 THE COMxMERClAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIEECTORY OF JAPAN House, the landing and shipping of cargoes, and the hiring of boats, coohes, servants, &c., the contracting parties have agreed that the Governor at each ■ open port shall at once enter into negotiations with the Foreign Consuls, with a view to the establishment, by mutual consent, of such regulations as shall effectually put an end to those abuses and inconveniences and afford all possible facility and security both to the operations of trade and to transac- -,tions of individuals. It is hereby stipulated that in order to protect merchandise from • exposure to weather, these regulations shall include the covering in at each port of one or more of the landing places used by foreigners for landing or shipping cargo. Article VIII. Any Japanese subject shall be free to purchase, either in the open ports of Japan or abroad, every description of sailing or steam vessel mtended to . carry either passengers or cargo ; but ships of war may only be obtained under the authorization of the Japanese Government. All foreign vessels purchased by Japanese subjects shall be registered as Japanese vessels, on payment of a fixed duty of three Boos per ton for steamers, and one Boo per ton for sailing vessels. The tonnage of each vessel shall be proved by the foreign register of the ship, which shall be exhibited through the Consul of the party interested, on the demand of the Japanese authorities, and shall be certified by the Consul as authentic. Article IX. In conformity with the Treaties concluded between Japan and the aforesaid Powers and vv^ith the special arrangements made by the Envoys of -the Japanese Government, in their note to the British Government of the 6th of June, 1862, and in their note to the French Government of the 6th of October of the same year, ail the restrictions on trade and intercourse between foreigners and Japanese alluded to in the said notes, have been entirely removed, and proclamations to this effect have already been pubhshed by the Government of Japan, The latter, however, do not hesitate to declare, that Japanese merchants and traders of all classes are at liberty to trade directly, and vv^ithout the interference of Government Officers, with foreign merchants, not only at the open ports of Japan, but also in all Foreign Countries, on being authorised to leave their country in the manner provided for in Article X of the present Convention, without being subject to higher taxation by the Japanese Government, than that levied on the native trading classes of Japan in their ordinar}^ transactions with each other. And they further declare that all Daimios, or persons in the employ of Daimios, are free to visit, on the same conditions, any foreign country, as well as all the open ports of Japan, and to trade there with foreigners as they THE COMMEECIAL GUIDE AND TBADE DIEECTOEY OF JAPAN. 35I please, without the interference of any Japanese officer, provided always they submit to the existing Police Regulations and to the payment of the estab- lished duties. Article X. All Japanese subjects may ship goods to and from any open port in Japan, or to and from the ports of any Foreign Power, either in vessels owned by Japanese, or in the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan.

They may also accept employment in any capacity on board the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan. Japanese in the employ of foreigners may obtain Government passports to go abroad on application to the Governor of any open port. Article XI. The Government of japan will provide all the ports open to Foreign trade with such Lights, Buoys, or Beacons as may be necessary to render secure the navigation of the approaches to the said ports.

Each of the contracting parties having obtained the approval of his Government to the Convention, shall make known the same to the other, and the communication in writing of this approval, , shall take the place of a formal exchange of ratifications. In witness whereof the above named Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention and have affixed thereto their seals.

In respect of articles not enumerated in the said Tariff,, the General Statutory Tariff of Japan for the time being in force shall, from the same: time, apply, subject, as aforesaid, to the provisions of Article XXIII of thes Treaty of 1858 and Articles V. and XV. of the Treaty signed this day respectively.

It is understood between the two High Contracting Parties that, if Japan think it necessary at any time to levy an additional duty on the pro- duction or manufacture of refined sugar in Japan, an increased customs duty equivalent in amount may be levied on British refined sugar when imported into Japan, so long as such additional excise tax or inland duty continues to be raised. Provided always that British refined sugar shall in this respect be entitled to the treatment accorded to refined sugar being the produce or manufacture of the most favoured nation. 5. The undersigned Plenipotentiaries have agreed that this Protocol shall be submitted to the two High Contracting Parties at the same time as the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation signed this day, and that when the said Treaty is ratified the agreements contained in the Protocol shall also equally be considered as approved, without the necessity of a further formal ratification. It is agreed that this Protocol shall terminate at the same time the said Treaty ceases to be binding. In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

WEIGHTS. Chinese weights are mostly decimal. Although English weights and measures are used to a considerable extent in trade with foreigners, being legalised in Hongkong for that purpose, the following are also recognised by Ordinance 8 of 1885 : — I fan, or candaveen — '0133 oz. avoir. 10 fan = I tsin, or mace — '1333 oz. avoir. 10 tsin = I leung, or tael = li oz. avoir.^ 16 leung = I han, or catty = lb. avoir. 100 kan =1 tam, 01 picul = 133^ lb. avoir. The words candaveen, mace, tael, catty, picul, are not Chinese. Almost all commodities, even liquids, are sold by the above weights amongst Chinese. MEASURES. English measures are legal, but so are also the Chinese : — 10 fan = I tsun, or inch = about 1.46 English inch. 10 tsiin = I chek, or foot = about 14! English inch. The Treaty of Tientsin fixes the ch'eung at 141 Enghsh inches. I li, or mile ^ J mile Enghsh. 10 li = I p6, or league ^ 3 miles English (about). Land is measured by the man or acre, equal to about of an English acre. Money. This is almost entirely represented by weights of silver, accounts being kept in leung, tsin, fan, and h (taels, mace, candareens, and cash as given above. Not one of these weights is represented by any coin, unless we may take the cash to represent the value of a li of silver. The value of the tael may be taken as $1.36. The Tael actually in use is 1.35: 3 The li when representing weight is never spoken of as cash, but probably the oridnal value of a cash was i li of pure silver. 452 THE COMMERCIAL GUIDE AND TRADE DIRECTORY OF JAPAN. Silver is used uncoined, in ingots or shoes, sometimes called sycee. Small sums are paid in what is called broken silver. At the Treaty Ports this generally consists of the fragments of Mexican or Spanish dollars, hammered to pieces by the Shroffs in their process of chopping. This broken silver is weighed by means of small steel-yards called li-tang. The silver coins issued by the Canton Mint were legaUsed as current throughout China by Imperial Decree in 1890. Cash might be said before 1890 to be the coin of China.^ The Chinese call them tsin. They are bronze coins, not unlike thin farthings with a square hole in the centre for stringing together. The Hongkong Govern- ment cash or mils are smaUer, and the hole is round. The value of cash fluctuates greatly, and is very much a matter of bargain. About 1,200 to a Mexican dollar is an average quotation. Hongkong Money. A legal tender in Hongkong consists of Hongkong or Mexican dollars ;: 50, 20, 10, or 5 cent, silver pieces to an amount not exceeding two dollars;, or bronze cents or mils to an amount not exceeding one dollar.. Japanese yen, American, Spanish, and South American dollars are also in circulation, and the 10, 20, and 50 cent pieces of the Straits Settlements and of the Canton Mint, which are accepted indifferently with those of Hongkong, Japanese small coin is also accepted at a small discount. The value of the dollar during 1893 ranged from 2s. 8|d. to 2S. s^d. sterling. Mexican dollars weighed at 7.1.7. mean coins which contain 7 mace, i candareen, and 7 h of silver (see weights given above). Clean coins of this weight command a premium, lighter ones are taken at a discount. 1 The Mint at Canton now issues subsidiary silver coins to the dollar as well cash.

Dear Sir,— In reference to the quality of the Lubricating oil supplied by' your firm tor use on our steamers, 1 beg to say that up to the present time it has given every satis- faction. We have used it now for nearly three years on each of our ' ' Empress " boats with the greatest satisfaction ; in fact, we have given orders that no other oil should be used As you are aware, we use nearly 1,000 gallons per month, which in itself is a good recom- mendation, and I have no hesitation whatever in recommending it to any Steamship- Company or users of machinery. — Yours truly, Canadian Pacific Railway Co".

The Injectors I have been in the habit of rising hitherto have shown no comparison with yours." The average consumption of coal was four tons a week. It is now reduced to three tons." "We find it saves about 25 per cent of water." I tested the temperature of the water as it went into the boilers, and found it 190 degrees F." (277 degrees F. with Locomotive Exhaust). " The repairs to our boilers, since the Exhaust Injector has been used, have not been more than half the. cost they were before.
