OUR CHINESE TRADE.


American Manufactures Shout STUDY
the Wants Of tne Natives.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-In report
TO the state department en- the COM
mercial condl.ion, prospects and ssasis-
lies of Hong Kong Consul o. III. Slmons
makes the following observations re-
spscting the probabilities of trade be-
tween China and the United States:
"As future market for American
products China, with its population OF
400. 000. 900, offers prospects unparalleled
by any country not IT present fully
opened TO tie markets Of the world.
Ii We desire to secure our proportion
ate share OF this market; however, our
merchants must study more carefully
than they have hitherto done, both the
national characterlstlcs OF the Chinese
and the precgse nature OF their require
ments.
The first may be briefly summarized
As follows: Intense conservatism, .
stolid disregard of personal comforts
according TO our ideas) strangely COM
blned in the weather. CLASSES will
lavish expenditure, and great love OF
display in their domestic life. lu busi-
ness matters an extreme caution,
amounting at times TO utter inditfer-
ence as to the adoption OF modern
ideas or inventions. These peculiarities
are we'll exemplitied in tbs Chinese in
habitants of our American cities, who,
after years of contact with their white
neighbors, still cling to their hard. un-
comfortable chairs and touches, never
even substituting the feather or hair
pillow for their neck breaking wooden
article, while they imported from
Hong Kong alone last year over $780,.
600 worth of Chinese food products
and $50, 900 of Chinese medicines.
For certain Of our products, such ~
-four, kerosene oil, lamps. clocks.
watches, knives. umbrellas. etc., there
is already a large and steadily increas-
ing demand, while l am convinced
that many of our mechanical inven-
tions. such as small gas engines, foot
lathes, printing presses, and especially
American hand tools, and hardware of
every description, would find ready
sale If the Chinese were once con-
vinced Of their utility and economy.
This can never be accomplished, how
ever. by the policy hitherto followed
by most American manufacturers of
flooding the country with descriptive
trade circulars and illustrated cata-
logues.
1t is estimated by one of the largest
-four importers in Hong Kong that the
quantity of -four imported from San
Francisco In 1891 amounted to $780,
900 quarter sacks, which with SOC, 0OC
from Portland, Ore. and about $4,000
from Vancouver make Q total of 1850.
600 quarter sscks. the largest figure
yet reached, each quarter sack con
tanning 40 pounds of flour. 1t is sold
in Hong Kong for an average price OF
$l.30 In Mexican money, or nearly 81
| in gold.

INcoMlNo EMPIRE sTYLas.

The sum total of printed matter that
has been written pro and con about
the incoming Of the empire styles
would, if it could be estimated, foot up
1t least thousands Of linear miles.
However, the mills Of fashion and the
manufacturers have ground on slowly
and At the same time exceeding fine
and these styles have been gaining In
popular favor. Surely IL would be alb
surd when all the world which makes
fabrlcs and trimmings had prepared
for 6 certain style TO have this style re-
jected. However, it 10 not necessary
to contemplate such IN overthrow Of
we'll laid plans, aEboth the empire and
directoire styles are accepted not only
in parts, but, what 10 more to the pur.
pose, a. q whole. While 1t 10 true that
tho empire styles are better suited to
elaborate evening gowns than to street
costumes, with very slight modlfica-
tons they are uncommonly fetching
as we'll as comfortable street costumes.
OF course 1t cannot sttruthfully be
averred that they are universally be-
coming. Indeed. of what style can
that be affirmed? There are, however.
numbers OF women who look their best
costumed rs were the bellies when the
century was young. Particularly ID
this costume becoming to little women
with petite figures and fower-like
faces. Those of more commanding
proportions will find the directOlre
style suits them better. As to the re-
naissance of the Victoria style. whether
It will or will not find favor with
women who dress we'll remains to be
seen, - it is as yet simply. rs it were,
proposition awaiting acceptance or re.
lection; 1t certainly has not the pic
turesqueness of empire and directoire
styles to recommend it.
