why Our Goods DO NOT Sell Better i,
the last,

Consul General Goodnow of Shangb.i
writes to the State department strongly
recommending an Amerlcan-Chinese ax,,o-
slllon IN Shanghai. He says that pracrical-
~ all foreign trade for the ni,,dla and
north OF CHINA goes through Shanghai and
an exposition there VIII reach the trada of
'he 1ahstze valley and the north. He Saws
that the customs reports show that The IN
pCrlS from the United States have 81
creased at the expense OF imports from
olhef nations. We are nearer The Chinese
H@lhet, 1relSnts are less, and the feeling
OF the Chinese is more friendly 10 Amerl-
cans than to any other nationality THIS
Is the time, he says, to push the trade
Whlch is rapidly developing, and il not cap
lIred by US now, VIII be lost for many
years 70 come he advises that a p-rmd-
heht exposition be located in the Ameri-
can settlement in connection with thu. con-
suidte general, ana That It's national CHAR
acter should be strongly emphasized
lie points out that American trade in
that region mas SO Tar been pushed but
haH- heartedly and that the agents of many
VI tH@ american houses attempting To s,,
business there are Germans ana English
men, VINO nave strong national feeling
and are not inclined 10 push Amer1can
gcods at the expense of manufactures from
their own country. He points OUT thar me
al agent is the man with whom 1he chi
nese merchants come in contact and know
ing hlm TO be relaDlA, they depend Uuon
ms aoVlce and accept his recommendations
much more readily than any printed adyer-
tiSements.
he says further that American firms
must acquaint themselves with Chinese
methods of doing business and with the
supefsutions and preJudices of the Chinese
as well as with their trade and banking
laws. The co.ors of labels, the form in
which goods are put up, and many other
seemingly immaterial matters, have A de-
cided effect upon oriental sales. In cotton
goods, for instance, the Chinese trade de-
mands special widths which American
manufacturers do not deem il worth while
to supply, whereas German and English
firms, by simple attention to this demand
control large and important market
American inventions, such as bicycles
Photographs and cameras, are being rapid
ly introduced in many localities, but it is
first necessary to exhibit samples, as such
goods cannot be sold upon description. Con-
sui Goodnow urges strongly that this is the
time for American manufacturers in every
line to put their own men on the ground
and acquaint themselves thoroughly with
oriental trade conditions, for the east
promises vast and easily obtainable mar
ket now which will soon be usurped by
other nations if We do not push our natural
advantages there at the present moment.
