EXHIBITION AT CORK.
American Aid in Reviving the Native Manu-
fuctures of Ireland.

from the New York Herald
The Earl of Bandon sends us the fol-
lowing prospectus for pubhcatlon:-An
exhibition of arts, products and manutac-
lures will be held in the City of Cork
during the months of July, August and
September of the present year. This ex-
hibition will afford most favorable OPP
portunity for bringing the merchants and
manufacturers of Ireland and America
into direct communication.
Ireland being chiefly an agricultural
country, there is a steady demand for
dairy and agricultural implements, and
next to them, hardware and cutlery
goods are most in request; there is, there
fore, an excellent opportunity for Ameri-
can manufacturers Of these articlesto eff
fecS large sales if their goods are prop
erly brought before the Irish public.
At the present moment the revival ia
Irish native manufactures creates a great
opening for the introduction of American
machinery, and as the machinery depart
ment of this exhibition will be leading
feature in it manufacturers of new
machinery will find it well worth their
attention to secure space before 1t be ap-
propriated by British and Continental
exhibitors. The committee of the Cork
Exhibition intend to provide exhibitors
in this department with motive power
free of charge, and every precaution will
be taken to protect the rights of patentees.
In the food and textile departments
America should also find it very profit
able to exhibit freely.
On the other hand, American import
ers should visit the Exhibition and see
what articles are manufactured III Ire
land, as there is every reason to believe
that Irish goods would find a large out
let among the Irish population in Amer
lea. There IS no doubt that this Exhi-
bition, if properly availed of by both
countries, will greatly promote the COM
merce between Ireland and America, and
American manufacturers, merchants and
tourists should utilize it to learn the ad-
vantages to be gained by both countries
from more intimate and accurate knowl-
edge Of the manufactures of Ireland and
America.
The following statement of the United
ticular attention of American manufac-
ttlrers 81 venture the rather broad as
sertion that every conceivable house
hold, agricultural and mechanical in
vcntion or contrivanoe now popular in
the United States could find sale here
under proper circumstances, from
clothes-wringer to a threshing machine,
or fire bellows to lawn mower. The
same remark will apply as well to apples
and fresh fruits of all kinds, including
melons, peaches and grapes, and also to
dried fruits.
"The idea I wish t. convey to intend
ing Traders Is tha.%@I American made
pitchfork or mouse trap, pair of shoes
or box of starch, cantelope or bag
of peanuts or almost anything else would
find sale here if properly placed upon
the market. But the shorter way to
convey a due impression of the require
ments of these markets is probably to
give list of things not wanted in Ire
land from America, as follows: whisky,
wool, woolen goods, ale, porter, beer,
millinery goods, expensive clothing,
printed books, aerated waters, hides,
skins and kips, sausage castings, raw flax,
poultry, burden animals, carpet goods
cheap hats and caps, root crops. Every
other natural product or manufacture of
the United States-everything not in
cluded in the foregoing list-even from
plumbers Inventions down or up to sad
dies or harness, is in demand here.
