AMERICAN PRODUCTS ABROAD,
Some Things which Europeans Can.
not DO without.
From the San Francisco can.

From the San Francisco Call.
1t is not so many years ago when all
agricultural implements Except tools
for hand use like spades hoes, etc ,
used in the European countries, we're
manufactured i'm the United States.
That these implements, as well as sew
ing machines and many other kinds Of
machinery. were gradually superseded
by goods made in Europe, is due most
lN to the fact that the Europeans had
learned to manufacture them at home
and could throw them on the market
at a lower figure on account of the
cheaper labor at their disposal
1t is a very difficult matter. however.
with American products Leaving Great
Britain and Ireland out Of the ques-
ton, most of the Continental countries
do not produce breadstuffs in sufficient
quantities to meet the home demand.
Whenever there was a shortage in
| the crops of Russia and Hungary, or
whenever American wheat could be OBJ
tanned at a lower price, the United
states was called upon to cover the
shortage.
None of the European countries eX-
cept perhaps Russia. can do without
| our petroleum. and all the countries
are dependent on US for cotton. Ameri.
can fresh apples have become a staple
| article in Europe and find much favor
| there.
Other canned goods, so far, are not
| in much demand, though they are of.
| ten offered there at a much lower price
| than here. | remember having bought
| a single can of one Of the best brands
| of American canned lobster at Ham
| burg for 80 pfennig G2 cents), at Wien.
ma for 80 kreuzer O31a cents), and al
| Havre for Go centimes Q2 cents), al
a time when the same brand could not
| be bought in any New York grocery
| for less than Is cents a can.
As far as meats are concerned oul
| exports to Europe have not proved a
| profitable speculation. With the excep-
! tion of canned corned beef, which is
| retailed almost anywhere on the con-
| tinent at from Is to % cents "A pound
our meats have not found much favor
The shipments of live cattle and hogs
| do not prove "A good investment. Most
of the animals shipped to England and
| the continent have arrived there in
| poor shape and had to be sold at a
| sacrifice. Our cattle, be- sides, are not
| as good as the European cattle.

but plain, strong expressions Of dislike
which he keeps for his younger broth
ers, and generally conveys in the
French language, proud Of the pro-
Gress he is making in the language OF
diplomacy. and knowing that nothing
is more helpful for acquiring for
eign tongue than to quarrel in it.
Therefore Prince Eitel Fritz lately told
his small brother that he was "un petit
mOnSt.e."
The emperor when i'm Hungary in
formed himself by telephone every eve
ming as to the conduct of the little
Princes, and on this occasion the re-
port was satisfactory for all with the
exception Of Eitel Fritz. He, the pre-
ceptor telephOned. had been using big
words to his little brOthcr-strOng eX-
prcssions i'm French. The emperor $
next question was unfortunate. "Quel-
les paroles done? Qu'a-t-il dit ce petit
monstre?" And the French teachers
voice came back: May it please your
imperial highnese, that's just what he
did say" 1t is hard to be quite con-
sistent either as prince or paterfamil-
las.

Should the ain-dispatcher make a
