Fine Weather, Strong Prices and Ac-

1t is very seldom that the volume of trade is
more healthy in character than at the present

tinue steady. Notwithstanding the predictions of
early declines in sugars and coffees, and strong
conditions prevail with canned goods no weak

weak. but other fruits firm at recent ad-

Choice apples are irmer. Jamaica oranges are in

A Suggestion 20 Firms Having Dis
plays at the Paris Fair.


The State Department has received the
following suggestion 20 American exhibit
oTs a the Paris Exposition from Consul
General Dubois. at St Gall. Switzerland.
If American firms having exhibits a.
Paris would send 10 the consular officers
few neatly printed cards. mentioning the
character OF their exhibits and extending a
cordial invitation 10 the bearer to exam
ine them while visiting the Exposition. I
am quite sure that all consular officers Of
the United States would see that these
cards are placed IN the hands OF merchants
residing in their district who are likely to
be interested in the exhibits to which they
relate. and who viii desire 10 examIne
them should they visit the Exposition One
large shoe dealer said to me recently
I an going 10 Paris 10 examine the
