NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The Manila COR
respondent of The Journal of Commerce
sends the following details concerning
the trade in the Philippines:
1.-The invasion of the markets of the
Philippines by American merchandise is
less complete as yet than the invasion
of the islands by American political
ideas, but there are indications that
American goods will come here in in
creasing quantities within short time.
Judging from the exterior of the shops,
American establishments are compare.
lively few, but judged from the interior
the footing obtained by American goods
Is more obvious.
Zone of the diff culties with which
Americans have to contend in the mar
ket is the fact that the established chan
nels of trade are with Spain, France,
Germany and Switzerland, rather than
with America. The Representatives of
the Spanish chamber of commerce ap-
preciate the fact however, that a new
era is beginning in the Philippines"
