WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Frederick
wv Emery. chief Of the bureau of
foreign commerce, made public
today an interesting extract from
Commercial Relations Of the United
States for 1901" showing what this
country accomplished in trade last year
in the East Indies and Persia.
Consul Fee Of Bombay says that the
imports of shoes from the United
States into British India are growing.
the shipments last year being four
times those of the previous year. There
is a marked demand by the Weather
classes for a superior shoe in quality,
as well as in workmanship and style.
The American last is advancing In
favor.
There also is an increase in the i'm
ports Of furniture and our roll TOP
desks are being ordered in large num-
bers. American bicycles, on account of
their lightness. strength and reasonable
price. are well received. We also send
a good proportion Of the clocks and
watches, and in spite of the decrease
in imports Of machinery and mill work
ldue to the failure of crops and the
Chinese trOubles). our shipments
showed n decided increase.
The same causes, continues the con-
sui, contributed to the decline in i'm
ports of cotton piece goods. but the
bulk Of this fell to England, and i'm
ports from the United States in the
line Of gray and colored goods, in
creased largely over the previous year.
Again, owing to the financial stress to
which the country has been subjected
by repeated calamity, neither govern
ment nor private enterprise could in
vest much capital in railway extension.
and there is heavy drop in railway
materials.
There has been much discussion, SAYS
Mr.. Fee, Of the relative merits of the
British and American locomotives
which have been supplied to the rail-
roads Of India. According to informa-
ton obtained from railway men and
engineers. the consul is unable to dis
cover any Of the dissatisfaction with
the American locomotives which news
paper articles have asserted exist He
declares rather that they have been
fully up to expectations"
Consul Rairdan Of Batavia reports a
notable increase in the imports of
American goods into Dutch India. Our
canned goods are advancing steadily
and are acknowledged to be superior
70 this line OF goods from Australia.
The contract for providing new water
works for the city of SOerabaya has
been gained by a Philadelphia firm.
A Chicago house has established an
agency for machinery In central Java.
under the management of a pushing
American. Commercial travellers from
the United States are visiting Dutch
India in increasing numbers, and the
results have been satisfactory.
Vice Consul General Tyler Of Tehe-
ran says that our clocks. watches, cut
lery. monographs. electric fans and
other curiOsities OF useful or ornament
al kind always are salable in Persia
Good American padlOcks are in de-
maud. Stationery commands a good
sale. as does wall paper and canned
goods. whether meats, sweets or
pickles. find a ready market.
Some air motor pumps have been i'm
ported from America and erected in
various parts of Teheran. Persian ag-
ricultural methods and implements be
long to a distant past and there is a
disposition at the present time among
land owners to try the simpler meth
DDS Of our machinery and appliances.
The Persian government has given a
practical proof Of its interest by estab-
fishing an agricultural seminary in
Teheran
The institution is under the manage
ment OF Belgian who has spent some
years in the United States, and is con-
sequently well acquainted with the de-
tails OF modern agriculture. He thinks
that II some enterprising firm would
send complete threshing machine 10

men and advertisement IT would lead
to the Introduction Of others and the
undertaking would be a commercial
success
