TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
French Consul Views American Ac-
tivity With FOrebOdings.

United States Consul John C. Covert, OF
Lyons, has transmitted to the State Depart
ment an abstract OF dispatch sent by the
French Consul at Manila to this Govern
ment The dispatch contains long list
OF enterprises, which Americans are es-
tablshing in the Philippine archipelago
and admonishes Frenchmen that they must
be active unless they wish TO be left in
the rear. An abstract of the French Con-
sul's dispatch follows:
The appearance of Manila is destined 10
change in short time. The introduction
of new and powerful factor in the COM
mercial problem of this country will COM
pei Spanish merchants TO close their houses
or TO entirely change their business meth
DDS. American competition has commenc-
ed, in fact, TO assume alarming proportions.
What will be the Importance of this current
when these newcomers are free to direct
the commercial destinies of the Philip
pineS-to flood this market with all the
products of their industries?
The English and German merchants
formerly masters in this colony, watch
with keen interest the events now in prog
ress and await, with undisguised impa
tience, the termination of the struggle be-
tween the Americans and the insurgents,
that they may discern the turn that things
will take. No one, however, doubts that
a strong rivalry is about 10 arise, and they
regret the past condition of affairs and the
advantages they then possessed.
Many of the wealthy people, mixed
breeds, and Indians have left for Hongkong
or suspended business, and, as their ex-
penditures and style of living will be re-
duced in the future, the value of the mar
ket, as an importing centre, will diminish
1t will be more than ever necessary for
the French merchants TO study their inter-
ests in this market, not by depending upon
consular reports, but by sending CONNER
cial travellers here to investigate special
lines of business. 1t is probable that un-
der the enterprising and energetic methods
OF American business men, new and
richer market will soon be opened on these
islands, both in imports and exports"

UefmQny
Ernest L. Harris, the United States Con-
sular Agent at Eibenstock, is of the opin-
ion that more American barber chairs
should find their way into Germany. In
the large cities. shops of the first class
possess many chairs of American make.
In the provincial towns, a comfortable
barber chair is rarely seen. The ordinary
chair in Germany has cane bottom with
a wooden headrest.
In Germany, BARRIERS have customers
to certain extent in their own homes"
says Mr. Harris. Much time is spent
each day in going from house to house. 1
think one reason may be the poor equip
ment of the shops. The best way to in
troduce these chairs is for our manufac-
turers to secure membership in some one
of our export associations which have es-
tabished sample rooms in the large cities
of Germany. The chairs should be put on
exhibit, and l am sure some middleman
would soon be found who would undertake
the task of introducing them into the
smaller towns and villages. l might fur
ther add that few months credit would
greatly facilitate sales. Other barber sup
plies, such as raZors, soaps, perfumed wa
ters, mugs, brushes, ETC., would, in my
opinion, find a smaller market, as these
articles are exported more or less from
Germany to other countries
