Summary of the Consular Reports o
Interest to Americans.

Interest to Americans.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The bureau of
foreign commerce of the State Department
is just now busily engaged in the prepara-
ton for publication of the volume known
as Commercial Relations of the United
States,'' embodying annual reports from
United States consuls in every country in
the world on the trade conditions in their
respective districts. Within the past three
years the quality and the value of this an
nual publication to the business interests of
the country have improved in an astonish-
ing degree, owing to careful selection of ma
terial, patient suggestion to consuls of in
formation likely to be desired, and the ad-
dition of compendious and thorough re-
view prepared by the chief of the bureau,
setting out conclusions as to general trade
tendencies that may be impartially drawn
from the vast store of matter supplied by
the consuls. The forthcoming volume is of
larger scope even than it's predecessors and
instead of being little more than the dry
compilation of figures that it formerly was,
the commercial relations for 1867 will pre-
sent mass of information of such variety
as to be valuable and interesting not only
to exporting merchants, but to public men,
to manufacturers ard to technical workers.
An indication of the character of the work
is afforded by the extracts that nave been
made from the reports received within the
last week only, and have been given the
benefit of advance publication.
From Hanover scomeS an account OF the
installation of an electric railway for hand
ling heavy freight; suggestions for placing
American tools in Germany and talk of an
opening for breakfast cereals. The consul
at Barcelona reports on the trade of Spain
as affected by the Cuban war, on the Span
ish woman's aversion to the bike and on
tariff and financial questions.
From nearby Santo Domingo comes re-
port of railway development, of tariff
changes and a comparison of European and
American credit systems. The depressing
effects of American competition on the
Swiss watch trade is described by the con-
sui at Geneva, who also tells of the prefer
ence for American bikes and of the grow
ing demand for American canned goods,
California fruits and sole leather. The
leather trade is also treated by the consul
at Bristol a trade center, and he adds a
chapter on bacon that should be interest
ing to hog-raisers and packers because OF
the technical hints on growing and curing
for the English market. The inroads that
American lead pencils are making into the
formerly exclusively German foreign
markets is the subject of a chapter in the
report of the consul at Nuremberg. The
consul at Stratford reports on corn ana
barbed wire and the consul at Coaticook
throws out some hints to American news
paper publishers to the means or OBJ
tanning a sale for their publications IN the
Dominion.
