now unable to fully supply the demand
for them. The field for the introduc-
tion Of American typesetting machines
in Germany would seem to be favor
able. provided they can be adapted to
German print and furnished as cheaply
as those Of home manufacture
Consul Boyle writes from Liverpool:
Speaking generally. the use Of type
setting machines in this consular dis
trict and England as a whole Is not SO
common as Ia the United States. AS
near as i can ascertain there are about
fifty-six typesetting machines in use
In this consular district. all Of them
being in Liverpool | am informed by
the firms using typesetting machines
that the machines have been well re-
ceived BY the proprietors. as well as
by the foremen. typesetters and work
men generally. Several leading print
ing firms inform me that there Is but
little prospect now for the introduc-
tion Of additional machines in this
city. as most OF the offices likely to re-
quire them have already been sup
piled, and yet several daily newspa-
pers and a number Of large printing
concerns do not use typcsetting ma
chimes"

from Rome "The printing establish

The machine was introduced year
or so ago. i am assured that the inn
preston caused by the machines has
been favorable, but there Is great hesi-
tation on the part of proprietors as TO
purchasing. This may be owing to the
fact that hand labor in italy Is very
in paid. and is naturally ayerse to
the introduction Of any labor-saving
machines. This prejudice still exists
on the part OF the workmen."
