OVR TRADE WITB EURoP6

The following well-tlmed article We
clip from the Philadelphia Record.
The editor SAYS
"Our Consul at Manchester, En-.
gland, declares that the best agent
American producers aud manuiactur,

England for American productions, if

He also alludes 10 the prevalent prac.

American provisions and selling them
as English, and TO the hap hazard way
in which eonsignmepts Of perishahle
arlioles--as fruits, buttor and meats
are sold, 40 asto bring but smnll prices.
Somehow, the text and the context Of
the Consul'e discourse don't seem TO
agree, II the best American goods

for ooniessedly American products IL
TO be created without some active and
efficient agent TO look after the inter.
osts Of the American shipper; and
similarly, il perishable articles from
this side Of the water are TO be sacri.
feed by the c9nsigneea, the need Of a
proper agent becomes still more cvi
dent. The fact no doubt is that there
is prejudice in British minds against
American products, partly due to the
Yankee propensity to work off inferior
guods but slill more to tho English
belief that nothing produced any.

Ii is notorious that large part of

its sale benefits our cheese factories by

ships should be formed between
American and English produce dealers,
much the same as English houses now
combine with the foreign trade in
many parts of the world for the sup.

is good, with the saving clause that
