Manufacturers Want No Publicity.

New York, Sept. 26.-American
manufacturing firms represented by
branch houses and agencies in Eng.
land deprecate the publicity which
their enterprises are constantly re-
celving in the press here and in con-
sular reports, says Tribune dispatch
from London They prefer to con
duct their business abroad without
observation, and especially in Eng.
land, whore the power of trades unions
is great. Large lines of American
manufactures are taken up by Eng
Hsh merchants and put on the mar
ket without being advertised or known
as imported goods. No prejudice is
excited against them when they are
marketed in this way, whereas there
would be outcries against them from
trades union agitators if a substitution
of American for British wares were
known.
