New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. May 1.-The cotton mar ket was steady today. There Is a moo crate demand for the staple, but primer pally for clear lists for the higher grades and as factors are disinclined to sen tne better qualities except with long nsts or noorer grades tackled, like tails to Kite, buyers are not over anxious operators There is a fair lot of good cotton In the market. but it Is currently held in the manner indicated. Where offered py It. self factors ask prohibitive prices as rule. Sales, 2000 bales, including S'o to arrive Quotations unchanged.
 A fair bit of trading in June contracts was noted during the early hours today in the market for future delivery, put apaft from engagements for that month there was a very meager line or pusiness recorded and operators generally eVlnceo very little interest In the situation. Liv- erpool led off this morning with a de- cline of 1-16d on spots and loss of 2-64d on deliveries but gathered strength i'm mediately thereafter. under the influence of unfavorable crop reports from tnls side The local market opened one to four points above yesterdays closing ana later advanced seven to nine points, put the market could not hold in the face or the strong bearish sentiment on this side and values were shaded down slowly un- til the closing when prices were practi- cally the same as last nights closing fig ures.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
OTTAWA, Canada, April 20. 1901.
In the appropriation bill or budget meas
ure now under discussion in the house Of
commons is an item of $4,000 to cover the
final expenses of Canada's exhibit at
the exposition which opens May / In
Glasgow Scotland. Fifty thousand dol
lars has already been appropriated and
expended. In this respect Glasgow is
most fortunate, for while this &c.,,
GOO appropriated is not large sum Of
money, the exhibit will be very fine, it
is practically the same which was made at
the Paris exposition last year. The Glas-
cow exhibition has interfered seriously
with the Canadian exhibit at the Pan
American exposition in Buffalo. Preference
was given to Glasgow by the Canadians,
owing to the strong effort being made to
secure Scotch immigration into Canada.
Canada's record In the matter of exhibits
at international eXpositions is most credit
able. The largest appropriation made was
for the worlds fair in Chicago in 1893, for
nearly half million dollars was expended
on that occasion by the dominion govern
ment and by the various provinces The
demands upon the Canadian treasury for
money for foreign exhibits have been very
heavy during the last twenty-five years,
considering the size of the country and it's
total revenue, but at each and every call
Canada has come bravely to the front.
Owing to the frequency with which ex-
positions have been held in different parts
OF the world during the past few years
the pace is getting a little swift, however,
and 1t will probably be more difficult in the
future to secure very large amount for
any one exhibit. Canada's appropriations
during the past twenty-five years for this
purpose have been as follows:

AMERICAN TRADE ABROAD.
Suggestions to Exporters by Consul
Griffin at Limoges.

SuggestfOns to Exporters by Consul
Griffin at Limoges.
"The impetus that has recently been
given to expectations from the United
States, and the zeal that American export
ers are showing to increase their trade
with foreign countries" says Consul Griffin,
at Limoges, France, in a communication to
the State Department, makes necessary
certain suggestions for their assistance"
Along this line he gives the following sug-
geStions:
The American exporter must understand
the wants of the market he desires to enter
1t is no proof or reason that because a GER
tain article finds ready sale in the United
States it will sell abroad.
Ice Is a commodity that ordinary persons
in France never use except in sickness.
The winters are so damp and mild that
practically no ice can be collected; there
fore, if any be consumed it must be manu-
factured artificially.
known by these people. 1t will be many
years before such articles required: !:
while, on the contrary, plain, simple base
burners (using bituminous coaD will find a
ready and steady sale If manufactured es-
pecially for the French market and to suit
the French taste.
Rocking chairs never sell, with rare ex-
ceptions; but plain chairs. such as have
been used in France for centuries, will con-
tinue to be sold for another hundred years
This rule applies to many other articles
popular in America, but unsalable in
France
All commodities destined for table use.
such as preserved meats, fish, fruits pre-
serves, etc, should be neatly atttractiVely
and carefully put up and packed. The ap-
pearance of packages has much to do with
selling merchandise in France There is no
country in the world whose people are
more particular as to the manner in which
to them than the French.
Every catalogue, business card etc. that
is to be distributed in France must be in
the French language; weights and prices
must be expressed according to the metric
system and in francs.
When presenting bulky goods, such as
hardware, agricultural implements, wood,
tools, etc, the seller should be careful to
give the purchaser definite idea as to the
probable costs. Sales may be made more
readily in this way than otherwise.
There Is published in France a CONNER
cial directory, copies Of which may be
found In the libraries of nearly all large
American cities and in many of the impor-
tant hotels in the United States. Exporters
will find this an aid in trying to extend
their foreign business; If they care to ex-
anime this directory they can easily find
out the names of persons apt to be inter-
ested in their line of trade.
The solvability Of merchants, manufac-
turers and dealers in France Is perhaps
more difficult to ascertain than in the
ten in most instances without much trou-
BILE. All banks in France will give informa-
tton as to any house or firm required for a
small fee.
