Of American manufacture that the min

Mr. Greener also finds considerable
complaint to the effect that in quoting
prices American firms do not state theI
bottom figures. What is needed is the
lowest quotation for goods, details as

latter being preferred, and several
copies Of a brief catalogue in the Rus

Consul General Patterson, at Calcut-
ia, is confident that a large increase in
the American trade would follow the
establishment Of a rapid and reliable
freight line Of steamers between New
York and Calcutta He says that the
only way goods can be shipped at pres
ent from New York to Calcutta is via
Glasgow, Liverpool, London or Naples,
and there is long delay in making these
shipments. Out Of the S25000000
worth OF goods imported annually by
India the United States only had about
10 per cent of the trade. while Eng
land had about GO per cent and Ger
many, France and Belgium, IN the or.
der named, the larger part Of the re-
mainder
About 80 per cent of the imports are
cotton goods, and the next largest are
iron ana steel manufactures, and The
American consul secs NO reason why
the United States should not compete
IN these lines. He says that If d direct
line Of steamers was established be-
tween New York and Calcutta, sailing
not less than once every month, the
passage not to be more than forty days.
the importers could then rely upon re-
ceiving their goods al specified times.
Consul Patterson also recommends
the putting Of active. capable men into
the field to exploit the markets Of the
country. There are no restrictions on
trade in India the ouly obstacle being
the lack Of rapid transit and more de
termined effort to secure business.
In line with the suggestion made by
Consul Patterson The bureau If statis-
ties mt Washington las been looking mp
the figures on the trade between India
and tile United States India ranks
sixth among the exporting and tenth
among the importing countries Last
year her exports amounted to over
S400.000,000 and her imports to s264..
100000 Thirty-six per cent Of these
imports were cottons. Next on the list
were iron and steel products The bu.
reau estimates that 80 per cent Of In
dia's imports are of class of goods
which might be called indigenous to
the United States and that fully three
fourths Of the entire list Is made up of
articles successfully produced BIZ and
exported from the United States. Not
withstanding this fact, our exports To
india amount to less than 2 per cent
of the imports Of that country

A VAST SALT FIELD.
flow the Product Is Obtained In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert.

How the Product Is ObtaAned In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert.
In the middle Of the Colorado desert,
O little to the north OF the Mexican
border and 264 feet below the level Of
the sea, lies 4 field of crystallized salt
more than q thousand acres in extent,
presenting a surface as white as snow
and beneath the MONDAY glare Of the
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand it's radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo. an ocean of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work CvCrurning the great de-
post with massive plOwS and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
to putting it through the refining proc
ess. The salt plows used to secure the
harvest arc great four wheeled imple-
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges; then laborers
with hoes work it to and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt prelim-
mary to stacking it in mounds to be
taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the plow has hardly
passed OH before q new crust has
formed in the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than q small portion Of the vast de-
post.
AS may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the post try
Ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heat, and for this
reason the work is done wholly by
Japanese and by Coahuila Indians. OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work, the japanese per
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped. The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti-
cles Of salt, gives rise to a painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from a single well. 1t is
warm and i'll tasting.
Beautiful mirages frequently appear
above the great salt field in the day
time, sky pictures Of magnificent cities
and flower dotted, tree shaded fields.
The moonlight, too, produces Won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt. For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermome-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grecs, and the reflection Of the sun
produces Il glare like that from a fur
mace. The deposits vary. in thickness
from ten to twenty inches and form
4 solid crust over the great marsh. 1t
is estimated that about 700 tons are
now plowed up daily.-Ncw York Trib-
une.
