OUR TRADE WITH AUSTRIA.-Mr. Post, the U.
S. consul general at Vienna, in his last dispatch
to the Department OF State, gives an encour-
aging view OF our trade with Austria Hungary
imports come via Hamburg and Bremen and
not through the Austrian ports on the Adriatic,
SO that exact statistics are not attainable.
There Is, however, abundant evidence that the
Importation OF American manufactures has In
creased enormously In the last few years. Hun
dreds OF thousands OF sewing machines from
American workshops have found market In
Austrta-Hungary. The Vienna exhibition of
1913 opened the eyes OF the people to the supe-
rlOr1ty OF American Inventions, implements,
machinery and tools OF various kinds The
only objection then made was the price. A
more stable currency and cheaper capital In
The United States have silenced that objection
The new tariff OF 1879 is not likely to seriously
aflect 1mpOrtattOnS from America II our man
u1acturers can continue to furnish their goods
at present prices or at no great advance. An
Illustrated catalogue OF Vienna hardware
merchant contains 800 articles. or these 212
are OF American articles, the remaining 81 are
o1Vlded among the English, French Germen
ana Austrian productions. 1t Is only the pov-
erty OF the peasants that prevents a still larger
demand Tor American agricultural machines
ana implements.

the receiving ship Colorado Ensign York Noell

folk navy yard Assistant Engineer j. B. Ed
