British Vice ConsuPs Report.

vice consul for this district, Philip E. Bur-
rough. was yesterday sent to the British
minister at Washington. 1t treats exhaust
port trade of the Central West, with COM
parisons and figures for the past three
years 1t contains 143 sheets of typewrit-
ten matter 1t bears upon the resources
and demands of twelve different states
which make Kansas City their commercial
center.
An interesting feature of the report con-
sists in the argument tending to show that
it will be to the injury of Kansas CITY
merchants to not have their import goods
come to this city in bond. A decrease of
duties at a port of entry is deemed by Mr..
Burrough to be a bad omen, which he SAYS
can be averted by firms ordering their
goods in bond to Kansas City. and not
clearing their imports at other ports

being within narrow limits. fifty closing
