source of profit not only to the farmer
but to the sugar-maker who buys it.
Manifestly, then the most important
thing is to get good seed for the first
crops of beets till we can produce
seed of our own. The sixth annual re-
port issued by the experiment station
at Tabor, Bohemia, shows tests made
of forty-nine different kinds of Ger
man, French and Austrian sugar-beet
seeds. The result showed that by far
the best seed came from first-class
German seed furnished by old and re

this as in many other things, the
cheapest beet seed will prove to be
that for which the most Is paid. Only
the very best is good enough. The de-
mand for first-class sugar-beet seed
has increased very much of late, on ac-
count of the prospects for wide ex-
tension of the sugar-beet industry
this coming season, and 1t is expected
there will be shortage in the supply.
American lumber makers and dealers
| would do we'll to keep an eye on Rot
rerdam. The demand for American
lumber there is steadily increasing, the
total imports for 1899 being far in ex-
| cess of those of the previous year, Sew
eral of the Rotterdam lumber dealers
have visited the United States recently,
or are now here, for the purpose of es-
tablishing new trade connections, and
| United States Consul Listoe, at Rot
:erdam, suggests that 1t might pay
some of the larger lumber-makers of
America to send a representative tol
that and other European ports to
work up trade or establish branches
or lumber-yards of their own. Mr. |
Listoe calls attention to the fact that
regular lines of freight steamers are
plying between Rotterdam and New
York, Philadelphia Baltimore New
port, New Orleans and other United
States ports. There also is a growing
demand for lumber in the Falkland
/ Islands, and the United States consul
at Port Sanley believes American
dealers should reach out for this
trade. The consul says;
II am certain that the time has come
for American business men to obtain
part of this valuable trade. In lum-
Der, petroleum, corrugated iron for
building purposes, nails, -four and
meats, lard and condensed milk, can
ned fruits and hay, ! think we can
gain monopoly. 1t will be remem-
bered that this is free port for all
goods except liquors. malt goods, to-
baceo and cigars"
The establishment in Constantine

American merchandise seems to be
meeting with pronounced success. Fol-
lowing the efforts of the American
consul general to Turkey in establish
| ing a direct steamer line between
America and Constantinople, it was
considered advisable to get American
samples of manufactures as near the
buyers as possible, and for this pui-
pose MI Dickinson conceived the
idea of forming a number of American
manufacturers and exporters into a
sort of company to work Jointly III the
introduction of their goods. The COM
binatlon started out with sixty mem
| bers, but this has now increased to
more than one hundred, embracing |
such well-known firms as Swift e. Co, |
| Chicago; Henry Diston e. Sons, Phila- !
delphia and Chicago; New Home Sew

Glass Company, Concord Rubber com

but for Greece, Egypt, the Balkan

There Is likely to be large demand |
for automobiles and electric power
equipment In Sweden. Cab drivers, es-
pecially In Stockholm. are considering
the advlsability OF buying motor car

sent experts TO Berlin to study and
examine the motor cabs made in Ger

was not favorable. They said that
automobiles which in catalogues SEEM

What is demanded in motor carriage
Is durability, neatness in appearance
safety and ease in handling and rea-

American manufacturers TO get on the
