New York, September ga special to
the Tribune from Washington says: The
United States consular officers continue
to warn manufacturers and shippers OF the
penalties they must pay for neglect or re-
frsal to cater to foreign tastes and de-
mands. In these dispatches recently it was
shown that Canadian manufacturers OF fur
niture have built up paying trade in Eng
land at the expense Of the manufacturers
OF the United States simply because the
latter were not willing to conform to Eng
hsh tastes and the prejaiices but insisted
on trying TO educate their foreign Gus
toners TO prefer the American style.
Now comes Consul Hastead Of Birmlng-
ham with other warnings which may or
may rot be needed. According to his re-
port some American shippers are lax In
business methods as well as obstinate in
their determination to cram their own
tastes and notions down the English mar
