good old Irish stock abounds so numer-

OUR FOREIGN MARKET.
l. is with satisfaction that an Ameri-
can on this side contemplates the ever
increasing market for the products OF
his country. The time seems not Tor
distant when the States will rank hrSt In
suuplying the world with its products
Signs are frequent that the manuiac-
turers and merchants are alive to the
necessity OF enlarging their field OF
operation, and that they must go De-
yond the peut up Utica OF the United
States in order to grow and thrive and
command the position that their enter
prise and ability deserve. Every mail
brings me evidence of this search for
new fields to conquer blythe wide awake
business mer at home. They want the
names and standing Of dealers in GER
tain lines OF merchandise, and to know
what the prospects are for introducing
their several articles; all showing that
the home market is not sufficient 60
absorb the surplus material both raw and
manufactured. The United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland is magni-
fcent and prolific hunting ground for
American trade. The economic laws
of the Kingdom are so framed that
they invite competition from all over
the world, that the people may buy In
the cheapest market and sell In the
best. The result is that the United
States sell more in the British Isles
than all the
REST OF EUROPE COMBINED,
and yet there are those at home who see
no good except in discriminating
against their best customer. Other
countries exclude the products OF the
States by heavy duties. This Kingdom
admits them free. Belfast alone re-
ceived last year some seventy thousand
tons OF flour from the States; to say
nothing of wheat, corn and other
grain. One is aStonished at the Ameri-
can stuff coming to this port. Meats,
canned goods OF all descriptions, farming
machinery, &C., &c. The following
clipping from a local paper is in evil
dence:
LARGE ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN REAPERs.
BY the White Star liner Majestic James
Creeth, 81, Victoria Street, has just re-
ceived his first consignment for the season
OF q large supply of the "Adriauce" Sheaf
Binding Reaper and the "AdrianceN
Buckeye Combined Machine. The ever
increasing demand for these machines
uecessitates a larger importation than
ever, and shows they are more and more
appreciated by all practical farmers who
REQUIRE great strength, combined with
ligntness of draft j. &. has also received
from America a large supply of the Planet
Jr.. Combined Horse Hoe, Scaratier, and
Drill Harrow, indispensable TO the grower
of root crops.
But one of the greatest sources OF
surprise is the vast quantity OF live cat
tie and sheep and dressed meat which
are constantly coming into the King
dom from the United States. A late
report says:
Fourteen steamers arrived at Liverpool
during the week from American ports
with live stock and fresh meat. The total
number of cattle and sheep, dressed quar-
tiers and carcases were, 1904 cattle, 3,51l
sheep, 1891 quarters Of beef, and 294
carcases of mutton.
Truly this people are great beef
eaters.
Latterlv Australia has been making a
special effort to capture some OF this
trade and with partial success. The
large ship yards here Of Harland il
Wolfe are building large, swift and
powerful steamers especially adapted
and with the most improved refrigera-
tor compartments for the express pur-
pose Of transporting meats from that
for off country.
OCEAN RACING.
The last eastern trips OF the two
ocean greyhounds Majestic and Paris
caused unusual excitement In Belfast.
This is but natural when it is recalled
that one OF the racing steamers, the
Majestic, was built at this port and is
considered the speedieSt boat Of the
White Star Line, all Of which were
built here. There has been always
much rivalry oetwesn the American,
the Cunard and White Star Lines. A.
though the Paris aud New York are
English built ships, nce they have
run up the American nag and are
manned by AmAican Jews. this spirit
Of rivalry is y pyDnounced. The
