Palmed or as American Mad..
WASHINGTON, Fob. 10 -Accor ling to
Consul Covert mt Lyons, an article ur ~
the silk industry uf tho world recently
published III French trade paper shows
that the United states is likely to take
the lead among the silk producers of the
world. During the last three years the
consumption OF rLw silk in the United
States has exceeded that of France
The trade paper says that the producing
power Of the United States eqraled that
of France since 1897, and american
manufacture has power of expansion
that ours does not possess.
According to the French Authority
already referred to, France heads the
list OF producers. and the United States
OF America Is pressing hard for the first
place. In report to the state depart
ment on the ribbon trade of ST.. Etienne.
Consul BrunoS says:
Just as surely as American iron
products = bridges, machluery, ETC.
have found Il permanent market in
Europe, SO will American silks and
other textile businesses"
Bogus Americas Produces.
American foods i'll Swollen are doing
great harm to the trade, says Consul
Bergh at Gothcnburgh in n report TO
the state department.. He says that i'll.
ferior forks are sold by Wholesale III
Gothenburg as American product. at q
price much lower than the genuine
American fork, OF which npoCr imita-
ton Is offered. That is Only QUO sam
PIE of tho many German limitations
offered for sale III Sweden and repre-
sented TO bo "bcst American goods"
The effect is that the buvers soon dis.
cover that they have bought articles not
worth tho money, and blame the Amer.
lean manufacturers. The consul says
that the practice causes prejudice
against everything of American make.
Sweden has no law compelling The mark
OF origin to tie placed on imported goods.
The Swedish laws are simply that for
eign made imported goods shall not be
marked. stained or branded so as to
make tho purchaser believe that the
goods were manufactured i'll Sweden.
