AMERICAN TRADE FALLS OFF.
Report of United States Consul Miller
at Niuchwang, China, Received.

Report of United States Consul Miller
at Nfuchwang, China, Received.
Mr. Squiers, secretary of legation at Pc
kin, has transmitted to the State Depart
ment a report by United States Consul
Miller at Niuchwang upon the trade at
that port for the quarter ended June 80
last, which is interesting from the fact
that the native customs dues were col
lected during the period named by the
imperial maritime customs for the first
time. Unfortunately, however, the consul
has no data to show the amount of GUS
toms dues collected under native control.
The dues, duties and likin collected dur
ing the quarter amounted to s94, ,S76, of
which import duty covered 2f,246, and eX-
port duty, so, ,944 Consul Miller notes that
the new tariff rates established by the
Russians were said to be about eight times
the previous Chinese tax, but on petit
ton of the Chinese merchants the rates
were reduced experimentally, until August
1. In addition to the regular treaty du-
is placed on each junk navigating the
river, and there Is also a tonnage tax on
each ocean junk.
The customs report for the quarter end
for the first half of this year, as the
amount for the first quarter is very insig-
nifcant on account Of the river being
frozen, and it shows that both the imports
and the exports fell or considerably be-
low those Of the corresponding period for
the two preceding years, the American
piece goods trade being only a little over
one-half Of what it was In 1899, and about
the same as for the corresponding period
Of last year.
The importation OF American -four fell
OF from s161 ,3S7 in the second quarter of
1900 to but $1s.s47 for the second quarter
Of 1901. However it must be stated that
the amount named for 1900 did not accrue
from a natural increase in trade, but was
due to the closing Of trade in the interior
the Boxer uprising. The amount of Amer

June $4,000 gallons) was the largest
quantity ever imported during a corre-
spending period. Mr.. Miller states In con-

Representatives will be present from all
parts of Europe, and an earnest invitation
is extended to Americans. Consul Covert
takes exception to criticisms which have
been made in the United States of his re-
ports on the subject of cloud shooting, par
tlcularly to one statement that the wnole
Idea is "a popular delusion of the unedu-
Gated peasantry." OF this Consul Covert
says:
1T is not the peasantry, but the wealthy.
Well-educated proprietors who have direct
ed these experiments and who are most en-
phatic in indorsng them. Moreover" he
continues, ''it is well to bear in mind that
the French peasantry are noted for their
conservatism and good common sense" lie
says that he has interviewed all classes OF
people-scientists and laymen-and finds
only one person-Dr. CaZeneuVe-Who does
not accept the cannonading theory. The
individual opinion Of any one" says Mr..
Covert, is worth little or nothing upon a
question that is being tested by expert
ments conducted on large scale by Sow
eral thousand people in two great nations"

Italian government, IL is stated. has been
so impressed with the efficiency of the new
system that Ii now sells powder at half
price to agriculturists for hail cannon.
while a network of stations has been
tablished over all northern Italy, where
farmers can obtain the use of cannon at
nominal price. 1t has now been generally
conceded that local storms can always be
successfully combated, says Mr.. Covert.
while high storms travelling with great
rapidty are much more difficult to cope
with. The partial results obtained up to
the present concludes Mr.. Covert, have
fully vindicated the not Insignificant ex-
penditure of time and money.
