DISPLAYING ENGLISH TRADE
Remarkable Success of American Manufac-
lures Abroad.
Our Steel, Locomotives and Boots and
shoes Are Formidable Rivals TO
the Mother Country's

The effect of American competition upon
Scotch industries in the three great lines.
steel engines ana machinery and leather
goods, is set out in a report 10 the bureau
Of foreign commerce Of the State DeDarr-
ment from United States Consul Flcmin.
at Edinburgh. He bases his report upon a
review of the years trade prepared for pub
lication in a Scotch newspaper by experts
in the lines named. The opinion OF the cx-
pert in the case Of steel is that the Scotch
steel maker has allowed his plant 10 get
behind the times in capacity. while the
American steel maker has made such eupr-
nous strides in production that his extra
ordinary success seems to threaten the
trade of the world
Our Locomotives.
Touching upon the introduction abroad OF
American locomotives. the experts are quo.-
ed TO show that the American machine.
while sold at lower price than the Brit
ish locomotive, is inferior in durability and
other desirable qualities. and Is being grad
ually crowded out by the latter This is
said to be the case in Japan particularly.
where the British and American machines
have been tried simultaneously for some
time past. The difference in price In favor
OF the American locomotive is explained by
the theory that the new Winchester system
OF compulsory inspection in England causes
the rejection Of much valuable material al
all stages Of manufacture. while the Amer
lean manufacturer is not obliged 10 submit
10 inspection, and therefore is enabled %
use inferior material. The consul in quot
ing this opinion adds that as the Midland
railway Company in England has lust or
dered twenty American locomotives tt would
seem that the managers are not specially
apprehensive that the American machines
cannot pass the British tests
1t is admitted that the Americans and
Canadians still retain the bulk of the i'm
and have practically a monopoly
Boots and shoes.
There is also an open confession in the
case of the boot and shoe trade that the
British cannot make a shoe equal 10 the
American product for the same price The
expert says: ITO our annoyance and irri-
tation, it must be candidly admitted that
their manufactures for beauty OF style
handsome appearance and perfection of nt
excel ours; in other words. they have gone
one better us The British mauuFac-
turers had hoped that the American shoe
would be found to lack wearing qualities
but there again they were disappointed
for the expert admits ;hat the American
shoe is made of the same leather that
The British shoemaker uses. In upper
leather entirely and in sole leather 60 "a
great degree the American leather cNCols
the British currier and tanner and the lat
ter have admitted that they must adopt
American methods If they are to survive.
A very large part Of the British colonial
trade has been captured by the Americans,
who have now wrested away from the
mother country almost the. whole Of the
boot and shoe trade of west Australia and
Africa.
