Bishop Dudley, Augustus f. Wilson

Another crowd visited the fair of the congregation of the Bush street Temple last evening. and the night was the best since the opening of the fair. -.-l the at fractions were well patronized, particu- larly the curio booth under the care of Mrs. Meyers, which was crowded all night.
 In the entertainment room a most at tractive programme was rendered.

 To-day marks the closing of the fair.

 My attention has been called to one you discussed the importance of our trade with Asia, but it seems to me that you do not state the case as strongly as it permits. The subject in your columns, and all of us who have studied this trans-Pacific field hope and pray that not only The Call, but the other papers on the Pa cific Coast, w. use their influence for the advancement of American in- terestS in the Far East.
 The Klondike is undoubtedly de- serving of thorough exploitation. and the enterprise of San Francisco mer- chants is to be highly commented, but there are in the Pacific and the Far East markets whose present value to the Pacific Coast far ex- ceeds those of Alaska, and whose fu- ture development assures a perma- nent commerce that can bring as splendid prizes to San Francisco as the Atlantic and Europe have brought to New York-provided only the op- portunity is not neglected until it is too late.
 I say to you, and through you to the people of the Pacific Coast. that there is on this great coast line from Vladivostok and Yokohama to Bang kok and Singapore, winding in and out for over 5000 miles, indented with nu- merous deep harbors, upon which are located mighty commercial entrepots. and peopled with 300.000. 900 of souls. whose one purpose in life is to buy and sell. an unequaIed and un- rivaled opportunity for the develop ment of American trade and influ- ence In 1897 the foreign commerce of Japan, Eastern Siberia, China,

The following letter received from Minister Barrett, at Siam, throws out many valuable suggestions to mer- chants who are desirous of bettering the trade conditions or the Pacific Coast. Mr. Barrett has been in Asia for many years, and has made care full study of the trade conditions. His prophecy Is that if the proper attention were paid to the trade of the far East the Pacific Coast would rival the At lantic in wealth and population. What Western Europe is to the Atlantic.
