that the mills will close down ono

cause of the whole tro nble is the high

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Daily Mail sends his paper
the following re-
OvcrprOductiOn ,,,r+.
The crisis in the
German textile trade is spreading
One manufacturer after another has
stopped production for an indefinite
time, or has dismissed half his hands
and cut down the working hours of
the remainder.
Overproduction, due to the rapid
progress of European trade and to
the growth of trade in other coun-
tries, such as India, which in former
years merely supplied the raw ma
terial, is the disease affecting the tex
tile trade. And with overproduction
has come decline in expert business
with the United States. owing to the
protectionist policy of that country.
In Saxony some of the carpet max
ers are only working four hours a
week. In central Germany dismissals
on a large scale are reported. Still
worse is the state of affairs in Siiesia,
where dismissals and short hours are
combined.
Nor is western Germany in any bet
ter state. The silk weavers of Crefeld
have dismissed one-third of their
hands, and the rest are working short
time. In AK La Chapelle 1000 hands
are out of employment. The only
bright spot is the velvet industry.
which still keeps up its production.
From Alsatia in the west to Silesia
in the east the cry is the same-over-
production.
The war has naturally had bad
effect on trade. more particularly on
the iron trade. India, for instance.
has been constructing numbers of rice
mills and had bought the machines in
,ThurinGia. Since the troubles in
China arose, this progress has ceased.
In addition to this it may be added
that the high price of cotton is caus-
ling much distress. Only the other
day the spinners Of Austria-Hungary,

Germany and Other Inter-
esting Items.


ufactures and prod
ucts.. This institu-
oA' ton is under the
direction of the japanese government,
which pays all the running expenses,
except the salary of the director.
The establishment occupies large and
rooms in one of the busiest
portions of the commercial city. In
these rooms it is proposed to display
sample of every commercial product of
Japan. There are a number already
on exhibition, and our neighbors OF the
far east are making decidedly favor
able showing of their manufactured
products. A corps of polite clerks is in
constant attendance to assist any who
may wish to look over the exhibit, and
anyone can order goods from the sam
pie. per cent. being added to the price
mark. This per- cent has been fixed in
Japan. and is invariable. In case the
purchaser wishes to pay freight him
self, the per cent. is simply the commits
sion that goes to the director in place
of a salary. If desired, however, the
esta blishment will deliver the goods to
the door of the purchaser, adding to
the producers price such percentage
as will cover commission and expenses.
All items of expense, whether of post
age, cable, freight or commission, are
entered upon the bill of the purchaser.
By employing as director man who
has other business interests in Bang
kok, the government has been able to
secure valuable agent of successful
business experience and wide acquaint
ance with the people.
The museum has been opened now for
some nine weeks. and is proving an in
creasing success. The oriental mer
chant has little use for ca catalogues, price
lists and pictures. He objects to the
salesman for the reason that his sam
piles go with him, and he leaves nothing
to enable the purchaser to compare the
goods delivered, with those ordered.
Here, the samples can be inspected and
the goods compared with the samples;
the merchant can deal With a firm that
is established in his city, and the goods
are not paid for until he is satisfied
that they are what he ordered. The
straightforward manner of fixing the
purchasing price appeals to both ORR
entail and occidental.
Orders are accepted for large or small
quantities. and the small purchaser
gets the advantage of freight rates on
the large orders if he is willing to wait.
AS result, the patrons of the museum
are by no means confined to the mer-
camille class, and the European popula-
ton of the city are availing themselves
in no small degree of this opportunity of
doing business with a splendidly
stocked japanese bazaar.
The trade between Japan and Siam
had not assumed proportions sufficient
to warrant notice in the annual Gus
toms reports of Bangkok until last
year. when, as the first fruit of Japan's
intelligent endeavor, this trade is re-
ported as $74,960.
