AMERICAN BUTTER IN JAPAN,
Much of II Sold But the French Beta
Is in Putting IL Up.

Consul Harris AT Nangdsak writes 10
the state Department that there were
imported into the port Of 4largasakl dur
ing the year 1897, 1854 pounds Of butter,
mostly from the United states and
France. Small quantities were received
from Australia. Denmark, Canada, and
Holland. The butter is packe I'm tubs and
tins. that in tubs is from the United
States. each tub containing about sixty
rolls Of two pounds each. in brine.
The tub butter is mostly used for cook
ing purposes. and retais now for sixty
five sen (32 IL cents gold per pound, the
table comes in tins holding half a pound,
one pound, and two poundS-the one
pound package being the favorie. French
tins are stained either red or gold or a
combination OK the two colors.
The names of the brand, the manu-
facturer, and the place where manu-
featured are also painted on the tin, thus
giving the package very bright and
neat appearance: the soldering, TOO is
smoothly and nicely done.
A small amount OF butter is imported in
tins from the United States The pack
ages are the same size as the French,
but are not as neat in appearance; the
soldering is not as smooth, the tins are
not stained and they soon become rusty.
The label OF tho manufactures, being
printed and pasted on the package, soon
gets loose. and. If the package remains
long on the shelves, il becomes covered
with fly specks and dust and its appear
ance prejudices the consumer.
The result is that the package is sold
for cooking purposes, and the dealer
loses money. l find no complaint OF the
butter coming from the United States:
objections are confined 10 the package.
Consul Harris says: There is no good
reason why the butter makers of the
United States should not control TO
great extent, me importation OF fine
table butter in Japan. as they now do the
butter in tubs TO gain that control.
the manufacturer must see that the but
ter and tho package are "gilt-edge;' the
standard must be kept up. and every
precaution taken 10 mold the trade. The
importers here are ready and willing 20
give the United states butter the pref
creme az soon as they are assured that
they will have no trouble IN selling the
package.

II was the generally expressed opinion
that the sum would, even at this low
