JAPANESE TRADE IN MALAYA.
According to the American Trade Commissioner at Singapore, Japanese competition in Malaya became more acute in many lines than at any time in the past, and early in 1936 the Japanese were. continuing to lower prices, and were cutting into the British chemical trade in numerous lines. However, the United Kingdom maintained its position as the leading source of supply, with 32 p.er cent, of the trade; European countries (principally Germany) followed with 13 per cent. Imports from the United States showed a gain in 1935, and Japan is doing good business in calcium carbide, matches, alum, and numerous toilet preparations, and is getting a strong hold in the market—especially in soda and sodium ' compounds, enamels, and essential' oils. .
