CONSULAR REPORTS.
American Trade Is Driving England
From the Markets.

the harkti>.
New York. Aug. 27.-The American
consular agent at Limoges, France,
Walter T. Griffin, writes to the state
department, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Tribune. the British
manufacturers almost entirely supply
the large department stores, both i'm
Paris and in the provinces. Fine silk.
derby and soft felts and the finer
grades of straw hats are manufactured
outside of France The material Of
which the latter are made is identical
with that used in making the same
goods i'm America. Mr. Griffin calls the
attention of American manufacturers
to the INSCRIPTIONS action Of certain
French dealers, who, in their inferior
home e-made hats. put fictitious names
with New York as the address. He
heartily recommends the American hat
ters to study the French market.
Another export suggested is pre-
served meats. Just now there is spe-
cial reason for activity, because two
or three of the establishments erected
i'm France To overcome importation of
American meats have met with unfor-
tunate experiences. Mr.. Griffin SAYS
that the French packers have not the
supply nor do they possess the expe-
rience of the largest and best equipped
American factories.
The trade i'm dried, canned and pre-
served fruits has been steadily growing
The demand for dried apricots, pears.
raistns, canned apricots. peaches. plums
and cherries from the United States
surpasses that Of any other country,
not excepting France itself Samples
must be attractively packed and put on
the market early.
France is ambitious to make i'm
provements in her marine service and
iI Is probable that the prices OF iron
and steel will advance. This consular
agent declares that now is the time To
make an assault on the iron and steel
market Of Europe. He further states
that one effect Of the Spaush-American
war has been 20 give Europeans a bet
ter knowledge Of the ability OF the Unit
ed states to manufacture Instruments
OF precision. Mr.. Griffin suggests that
a careful study should be made Of the
needs Of the French marke; and the
best and quickest way Of meeting them
recent manufacturers is an American
speaking Frenchman.
Consul General James T Dubois. at
Gala. says that Zurich is the great dis
--lDu-ilE point in Switzerland for most
of the imports that come from the
United States. He gives a large list OF
such imports. with the names OF the
states from which they come respective

shapars from New York and New Jer-
say. railroad iron from Illinois and
Pennsylvania, agricultural implements
and machinery from Ohio. New Jersey

fruits from California.

gone out on a strike for a restoration of
their old pay on a certain grade of
work. and about 80 women and girls
have struck with them from sympathy
and desire to get rid of a foreman
who is blamed for the low wages. The
strike has closed up one of the two as
sembling rooms of the Elgin plant. and
the employees in the other say they are
only waiting for a call from the Watch
makers union to strike too. Officials of
the company say it will be practically
impossible, for some time at least, to
obtain skilled iinishers to take the
mems places.

THE GOVERNORS POSITION

Jefferson City Tribune: The Gov
ernor, in his authorized interview on
the fusion question, said plainly that
he favored fusion as was effected In
Missouri last year; that Populists,
silver Republicans and all friends of
silver should unite for future battles
in every State, district and county
where it was necessary, in order to
defeat Republicans. He opposed 1t in
States on State tickets where the DEM
ocrats are already in the majority, be-
lieving it unnecessary and impractic-
able and dangerous to the cause OF
free silver. His views, as expressed
in this interview, have the equivocal
endorsement OF the young Democratic
leader in Congress, Mr.. Bailey, Of
Texas. The Governor is known to be
a friend of the Populists, and has been
criticised by Democrats, Republicans
and "middle- -of-the-road" Popuiists
for turning over the labor bureau of
Missouri, with all it's patronage and
influence, to them.

COL. COOK REFERRED TO BRIEFLY BUT

Rocheport Coms,ercial: OF course,
there is strong possibility that Mr..
Sam Cook, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, will
be put out by the attitude of the
Governor, as it is bat q few days since
he made the astonishing statement
that che only hope the Democrats had
of carrying Missouri at the next cleo
tion lay in fusion. The effrontry OF
this man Cook is simply marvellous.
Because he has been honored by
Democracy to the extent Of being
made Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, his head has become
swelled, and, pulled up by his own
importance, he imagines he Is the
whole thing, and actually thinks that
every word he utters viii be taken by
