NEW JERSEY NEWS.

Many New-Jersey Republicans feel that they
have not only an available but formidable
candidate for the Vice-Presdency in the per-
son OF Attorney General John W. Griggs The
mention OF his name in connection with the
nomination in The Tribune about three weeks
ago called forth earnest expressions In his favor
on the part Of prominent party leaders and
newspapers and showed that they would
heartily advocate the claims Of the State and
Of the Attorney General at the next National
Convention of the Republican party and 1t
was also made clear by the expressions Of rep
resentative Republicans of other States that
Mr.. Griggs possessed strength in other sections.
notably in Pennsylvania and in that part OF
the West through which he had travelled with
President Mckinley. winning golden opinions
by his speeches.
The most formidable difficulty in the way OF
New-Jersey's ambition that Mr.. GrIggs should
take the place Of Garret A. Hobart is New
York's claim that 1t has lien upon the Vice
Presidency. and the fact that New-York. by
aiding Philadelphia to capture the convention,
had secured the promise Of that States sup
port for New-York's candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent. However Of the foremost leaders In
PENNSYLVANIA IS not so that this combina-
ton will make a New-York man the Vice
President. He expects that New-York will find
It difficult to unite upon man. and that the
West will make strong fight for the nomina-
ton and he thinks that the lines will be drawn
so sharply that neither New-York nor the West
will hold a winning hand, or show sufficient
strength on the first ballot to capture the noml-
nation. Then according to this politician. who
Is a shrewd observer, New-Jersey will be able
to secure the support OF Pennsylvania for At
torney General Grggs. Wisconsin will probably
break away from the West to the New-Jersey
man. and other States will follow, making the
nomination OF Mr.. Grggs possible
Therefore. in the opinion Of this Pennsyl-
vanIan it will be good politics for New-Jersey
to take good care OF the Griggs boom TO treat
It seriously and earnestly, not in the light OF
compliment to popular and able Jerseyman.

AMERICAN GOODS IN RUSSIA.
RAPIDLY GROWING IN POPULARITY AND

RAPIDLY GROWING IN POPULARITY AND
DISTANCING THOSE OF OTHER NATIONS.
Washington. Dec. 29 (specaD-American goods.
and especially American manufactures are making
rapid gains in popularity in Russia. This fact is
shown not only by the increased total OF exports
TO that country but by the warnings which the
consular representatives Of other nations in Russia
sending 10 their home governments respecting
the popularity OF American goods and the success
Of American merchants in their business methods.
British consuls In Russia have recently sent TO
their Government a series OF statements on this
subject copies OF which have Just been received
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics and from
which the following extracts are taken:
The British consul at Kieff in his report says:
While Germany is talked about as our greatest
rival In the markets OF the world. there does not
seem TO be the same attention paid TO the rapidly
developing competition Of America. The strides
america is making are startlngly apparent in the
foreign trade The agricultural machinery trade
Is practically controlled by Prierica. thd trade in
American; @ the Introduction = improved machine
benefit of practical ideas combined with utility and
now the supply OF fixed stealr Ell gnes TO the for
esn markets is being energet caliy pushed.
The British consul at odessa writes:
Cycles Of English make aro held in high esteem.
Our cousins across the Altar tic supply good
cycles 40 per cent cheaper tl,an those Of English
ter The reason Of this dIffei snce in price is to be
found IN the fact that the American bicycles have
many or those parts cast hich in English ma
cines are turned. The Germtn cycles have good
reputation for dura biity AM consequently though
little cheaper than English machines have a fair
sale
Speaking Of the popular Of American agri-
cultural machinery in Russia. the British Consul
General at Odessa says:
In rs1pers and binders america stil enjoys the
mand ready sale, thou yh they are gradually
beng superseded by self-rt ipera and binders Dur
Ing the last year trade in agricultural machinery
OF English make has been fairly brisk and ucra-
tive in spite OF failure OF the crops in several
provinces bordering on the Black Sea and not
withstanding rise in prices ranging from to Il
per cent. This activity was undoubtedly due TO the
aorogAuon OF the heavy customs duty on certain
agricultural requisites. There has been an IN
creased demand for portable engines and threshers
or English make, and in this class OF machines we
may hope 10 hold our own against foreign rivals
The Consul General also quotes the British con-
SUI at kieff as saying that grass mowers reapers
and horse rakes-all Of American make-found
ready sale. Horse threshng machines and horse
gears were in good demand"
