A Washington press dispatch says
that United States Consul Rounsevelle
Wildman, of Hong Kong, China writing
under date Of Dec. IA. 1897, in answer
to communications from New York
parties asking for information as to
the possibilities for the export of but
ter and canned milk to China, says:
The nns.I butter ter consumed in Hong Kong Is
France, with small quantities from Califor-
MIA. The Danish is the MOST popular. The
market is 50 cents Mexican (3s cents gold
per pound. Hong Kong being a free port,
no statistics as to the total quantity i'm
cry butter. properly prepared and genuine
butter, can find a good market here.
American exporters have~been laboring
enough, for the .Asiatic coast, whereas the
demand is for the highest grades, and the
consumers are willing to pay for them

colony, imported last year from San Fran

and the guests had to eat It, The result
was that it was liked, and residents of the
city fell into the habit of sending to him
for rolls for their private use. He imported
it in barrels of 100 rolls. each roll weigh

Mexican (26 cents gold pound. There are
three small dairy farms on the island that
are under government inspection The cat
tie are. stable-fed. and they only pretend
to furnish milk. cream and butter to Euro
pean residents. Altogether, 1t Is estmat-
ed that these three farms sell 5000 pounds
year. They charge SLIGO Mexican &c cents
gold pound: so it is decidedly a luxury.
With butter, as with evaporated or
canned milk, the demand Is rapidly in
creasng among the Chinese. In regard
to the latter article. 1 am in receipt of
The Helvetia Milk Condensing company, of
Highland, ILL.,, after writing me several
times, sent case Of forty-eight cans Of
known German firm Of Lauts, Wagner C
Co. They reported to me as follows:
We may say that 1t is excellent in every
respect 1t is, however, not the class of
goods in which regular trade could be
built up, the consumption being extremely
small. What we require for this market
is cheap kind of condensed milk sweet
manufacture, which should not cost more
than $1.sO to 81 Mexican (S5k to 95 cents
gold per dozen cans laid down here, and
which Is selling in very important quant1-
ties, say 500 cases month or more.
We tried this cream in our families, and
before the receipt Of the above letter decid-
ed that it was one of the cases where the
goods were too good for the market The
Chinese believe that condensed milk should
be white in color. One of the largest firms
in the United States in the past supplied the
bulk Of the canned milk in this market.
They made 1t white regardless of quality.
Now it is manufactured by a Chinese firm
in Canton, which initiates the tins, trade
mark label, and everything. The fact that
the label is more often printed upside down
than otherwise in no way detracts from the
supposed genuineness of the article. If sew
eral firms of like nature-dealers in but
ter hams, etc.-were to combine and keep
their own agent here, as the flour and kero-
sene interests are represented: there is no
question but that a hold could be obtained
of these large and growing interests.
