Points for American Lumber Men.
Havre is one of the largest wood mar
kets Of Europe. I saw vast quantities Of
wood OF all kinds during my trip about
the wharves. From one ship they were
discharging mahogany logs about thirty
feet long and two feet square, and from
another they were taking off vast guam
titles of logwood for use in the dye fac
tories Of France. I saw considerable
American oak and pine, and Consul
Thackara tells me that such shipments
might be greatly increased if our people
were more careful in their saving. The
+ French customs laws permit the free en-
try for cabinet making of wood which is
eight inches or more in thickness. Owing
to our poor saving the American wood
often arrives a shade under this size,
and the man who orders it has to pay
the duty The result is he stops al one
order. There is also a good demand for
our oak boards and planks provided they
| are sawn to the right thickness, but at
present the Austrian wood is rrowding
the American wood out because it is bet
ter seasoned and more carefully pre-
pared
American Machinery in France.
I am surprised at the amount of Ameri-
can machinery I see about the docks.
The warehouses are full Of it and the
streets outside are blocked by it. In addi-
ton to farm implements there are pack
al es of carpet sweepers, meat grinders,
and ice cream freezers. There are also
large irnrortations of eiectrica. machin-
cry, and within the past few years the
Westinghouse company has established a
4 anto n.
market. It has large building on the
edge of the city where a number e bright
young Americans superintend the French
men who do the rough work. The COM
pany has a French name, being entitled
the "Socete Industrielle d'Electrcite.
PROCEEDS Westinghouse" It's capital is
ten million francs, or about two million
dollars
During my ride about the w1arves with
Consul Thackara I asked him to give ME
some points for American shippers. He
replied that the market is not properly
understood by more than fifty of our
leading American firms.
These FIRMS said Mr.. Thackara, 'have
thoroughly studied the subject They
have their own agents on the ground, and
have systema tized their business after the
French methods. They pack their goods
as the French want them, and are willing
to accept the usual terms of credit. The
French have been accustomed to receiving
such terms from the English and Ger
mans, and if Americans will not give the
same terms they refuse to deal with them.
The average American wants his money
in advance or on receipt of the goods,
but this will not do in the majority of in
stances here.

What the French Buy.


Indeed, the French stand high among
the purchasing nations. Their imports
amount to over 81. 100000 a day, or to more
than sS50coO.OO0ze a year. This is over
/ $500 COO, 900 more than our total importa>
tons. and the bulk of the money goes
to the European nations. although our
trade is slowly and steadily increasing.
It has gained about S1S,0UO 000 in ten
years. the gain in Great Britain and Ire
land has been thirteen times much.
One reason for this is that the French
are in many things like the Americans.
They show as much taste in finishing their
manufactures as they do in making fancy
hats and dresses: they are a race Of in
ventors, and hence American ovelties are
not in SO great demand. They believe
also in trade protection, and the govern
ment contracts often specify that the
materials used shall be of French manu-
facture. Nevertheless the market is a
most valuable one and one that can be
worked with great profit. Something of
what is now being done will be seen as
I take you through this city of Havre.
A Look at Havre.
Havre is a typical French seaport. It's
streets are wide, its houses bright and
sunny, it has open places and gardens in
the heart of the town. and its docks are
-
conveniences for loading and dischargng
goods. The town has existed since the
days Of the Romans, and it has always
been an important commercial centre.
The United States had a consulate here
as far back as 1900, and to-day our consul
late situated on the Place Gambetta, in
the heart of the city, does about as much
business as any other.
Havre has now about 120 900 people. The
town lies right on the sea, with highlands
on the east and the Seine on the west. In
coming here from Southampton my first
sight was the abrupt cliffs on the left
Of the city. When we came little near
er I could see the masts Of the shops
inside the docks and then the low build
ings which border the shore. There is a
series of fortifications with frowning can
non facing the sea which guards the
entrance, and you steam in between great
stone quays or docks. just wide enough
for two Atlantic liners to pass in or out
at the same time.
Passing through. we found ourselves in
a great basin which has five entrances to
other basins or inclosed docks. Indeed,
the docks extend on and on with gate
ways between them. permeating almost
every part Of the city. There are many
acres of them, so made that the ships can
sail right up to the warehouses and dis
charge their goods. and so that goods can
be put upon the railroads or on the canals
for all parts of France.
There is one dock in the very heart of
the town facing the Place Gambetta. This
is reserved for yachts, and there were a
score or more Of steam yachts lying in it
when I visited it this afternoon. One Of
these belongs to the Baron Rothschild and

ours
Intensive farming is carried on almost
everywhere There are market gardens
scattered throughout Northern Francs
which ship their products to England.
I saw loads of French vegetables in the
markets of London, and when 1 was
at Manchester last spring the ships were
starting out for the Channel Islands,
and Northern France lor new potatoes.
About 30ooo,o00 pounds of potatoes are
annually shipped from Cherbourg to Lon
don. and the first OF the crop comes on
as early as February, the potatoes being
raised under glass. -
In all France 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 acres are devoted TO market
gardening, and that the average yield per
acre is moro than sl67 per annum. There
IS an early vegetable farm Of $50 acres
near Cherbourg that brings in $4,000 a
year. It is such culture that creates the
demand for our plows, cultivators, and
the smaller farm tools.
Wollen Stockings of France.
The farmers Of France have always
been noted for their thrift They are
good customers because they can pay for
what they buy. Nearly every peasant,
man or woman. has money in the say
ings bank or in stocks or hidden away
somewhere in an old woolien stocking.
When De Lesseps was pouring millions
into the Panama canal he was asked
where the money came from. He replied:
From the woo!len STOCKINGS of France,
where there are still hundreds of millions
more" 1t was these same stocking
boards that paid the cost of the Franco
German war, the greatest payment ever
made by one nation to another. The
cost Of the war and Of the indemnity
amounted to more than s.. 900, 1900. me
