Democrat. and MIR. Bryan assured Mr.
Bryan that Mr.. Bryan could manage
both parties and derive comfortable
income as political mixer.
Mr. Bryan was not mistaken in his
estimate of Mr.. Bryan. and Mr. Bry-
is SO pleased with MIR. Bryans sue
cess that Mr. Bryan will continue to be
Mr.. Bryan to the end of the chapter.
Mr. Bryan recognizes that Mr. Bry
ans position is hard both of Mr..

delighted with Mr.. Bryan that Mr..
Bryan's personal advantages outweigh
all abstract considerations that Mr.
Bryan may have for Mr.. Bryan's bifur-
Gated party. Meanwhile Mr.. Bryan
continues to take off his hat to Mr.

Said Consul General Goodnow:
Our factors want to export the goods
that consume the most cotton, and II may
be for this reason that we have catered
to the northern trade At any rate
We have almost monopolized it. Ninety
enc per cent of all our cotton that
came to Shanghai last year was shipped
to Tien Tsin, Cheefoo and Newchwang;
three per cent went up the Yangtse valley
to be sold in the northern or colder prov
inces: three per cent went into Chekiang,
and three per cent remained here in
Kiangsu.
THE provinces lower down on the Yang
tse and south of Shanghai require lighter
weight, better bleached and a finer made
cotton. This is so on account of the warm
climate. You can't sell linen busters for
winter wear in North Dakota or buffalo
overcoats in July in Florida Our people
have evidently supposed all parts of China
had the same climate, and 1t was only last
year that they began to cater to this mid

There is one thing the cotton factors
need to do right away. They should study
the market. They make a mistake in
thinking anything will do for the Chinese
In fact there are few markets which are
so particular in little things as this. The
Chinese are naturally conservative. They
are full of fancies and superstitions, and
you must understand these to deal with
them. You cannot force them. nor can you
offend their sense of propriety without
