MARKET FOR AMERICA.
Opening in France for Many Articles
Made In This Country.

Commercial Agent Griffin at Limoges
says, in an official report to the State De-
partment. that the manufacturers in the
United States who are looking for new
fields for their products can now turn their
attention to France. While 1t Is true that
certain lines of trade are really oyerdohe in
that country, there are others that promise
good returns. Splendid openings are offered
at present for such articles as mems hats,
preserved meats, dried. canned and pre-
served fruits, iron and steel and machinery
One effect of the Spanish-Amerfcan
war;" says Mr.. Griffin. has been to give
Europeans better knowledge of the abil-
ity of the United States to manufacture in
struments of precision. American watches
and clocks have long been regarded as mar
yels of correctness in time-keeping; but, as
Evening star., 1898-08-26

was recently stated by a leading French
man. America has astonished the world
with the accuracy of her implements and
machinery; her steel ships resist and en-
dure better than those of other and older
countries. Her intricate machinery does
not get out of order so quickly and stands
crucial tests far beyond the power of Eu-
ropean apparatus, and there are fewer fall
ures, because there are fewer defects; this
is due TO her implements of precision 1t
would be we'll to take advantage of this
reputation and show what can be done by
the American workmen: especially in the
line of engines, locomotives, tool for cab
met making, all sorts of die-cutting ma
chinery and machines used in the maufac-
ture of firearms of all classes. As France
is seeking more and more to do her own
manufacturing, she will naturally turn to
the country that can sell her the best ma
chimes to accomplish her aims. These kinds
of machinery should be well represented in
France at all exhibitions.
