The coun- tries are very backward and sooner or later they are bound to use our farm tools and our heavy farm machinery.
 Speaking of American warehouses abroad one has been recently opened in Constantinople It is known as the Amer ican Oriental Agency and 1t handles goods on commission. It shows the goods in its warehouse. and when sold 1t pays the American exporter for them, taking its commissions out of the sales. This ware house has all sorts of agricultural ma chinery and farm tools. It is handling wind mills. pumps. lamps Jewelry and stationery supplies as we'll as sewing machines. typewriters. clocks and watch es, and American notions.
 Turkey is now buying considerable hardware of the United States. Five hun hardware of the United States. Five hundred large agricultural machines are coming up as to railroad materials, although the supplies for the concession recently granted for road from Con- stantinople to the Persian Gulf will probably come from Germany There are also openings in Asiatic Turkey, Pales- tine and Egypt. but these I will refer to in my next letter. which will describe a trip around the world with the American drummer FRANK G. CARPENTER.

 The lady looked discounted, and disap- pointed. @
 A second time Mir. GraFabls Grumpus went home in company with lady In the street car. She was no hahdsdnier than the first one, not quite so tastefuily dress cd, nor did she seem strenuous Tn her at- tempts to entertain Grurnpus. But Mr. 6rumpus was making q strenuous efkort to entertain her. He was all animation and gentlemanly cosirtesgi You would have thought he was e youth of twenty going somewhere with his best girl.

Germans are doing more business there than any other nation. met their sales men on every train and found their com mercial agencies in every city. The most of my interpreting was done. through Germans who spoke Russian. found that nearly every man had large acquaintanc and that he knew the standing of the diff ferent merchants Several of them told, me they had set aside the Russian trade for their life work. and that they expected to stay with 1t until they had made their fortunes. Some of these men are also, handling American goods, but they al- ways put the German goods first It is one word for the United States and two words for Germany. and as result the, American product has to be by far the better to make a sale
 Our Salesmen in Russia.
 Indeed therc Is not a better field in Eu- rope than Russia for the American drum mer. The market there Is beyond concep- ton enormous Its imports are close to a million dollars a day and they will double within a few years. Russia is in the infancy of development. The wants of the people are like ours and our goods please them better than any other. They are our friends, and they would rather deal with Americans than Germans Eng fish or French.
 Any bright young American with good commercial instincts can go to Russia and make a successful life business of hand ling American goods. He will have to learn the language and study the market and try to supply it. He might get a chance at the government business which alone would give him a respectable in- come, and he could build up a trade which will net him a fortune There is room for scoreo of our young men there, and especially in the Asiatic provinces.
 I met a number of American salesmen fin Russia. The most of them were hand ling reapers and mowers. threshers and heavy farm tools. The opening there for such machines is enormous. The Rus sian empire Is the greatest farm upon earth and 1t Is now a century behind the times. Steam blows, steam threshers

and steam engines of all kinds can be sold. There is big opening for American pumps. wind mills and gasoline engines. Heavy blows are needed, for the country is now only scratched. and where deep blowing Is done there is little danger of drought: Our goods are popular and the drummer who speaks Russian will have no trouble in making sales. :.

He tells me the op- portunities for building up business in Siberia are enormous. The Germans are attempting 1t and succeeding. They have big houses at vfadivostock, Irkutsk and other places, and there is one German firm which has eighteen branches selling everything. from needle to threshinf machine, and from seidlftz powder to 2 steam engine.

 Uncle Sam is the best manufacturer and the poorest salesman on earth. He knows how to do business at home, but he tags along at the tall of the procession; in bis business methods abroad. He makes great sales because his goods are better than any others, but his trade Is conduct cd in a slovenly manner and it might be increased a hundred fold. Nevertheless. 1t astonishes the nations. We are now selling billion dollars worth of goods every year to Europe, and our total for. eign sales amount to something like three millions a day. Our profits are about a million dollars a day, and we might do twice as much and make double the money. ~s.. t.i
 Educated Drummers Needed.
 What we need Is live men on the road We want Simon-pure Americans. who are educated for the trade. We should copy the Germans. They send their salesrnen abroad to study the languages and coun- tries where they are to work. They study the people and make and pack their goods to suit them.

American machinery to be used in it's public Improvements to the amount of $100, ,000.000
 In Spain and Portugal.
 I met the other day man who had just come from Barcelona, Spain. He says that city has American street cars. but they have painted out the names of the American makers and put Spanish names in their places. He says that Spain is using American goods under foreign la bels. and that the market is now open to American importations.
 Spain has a foreign trade of about $225 0C0, GOO year. and a large share of this should come to ns. This s especially so. as by the requirement of the Philip pines and Porto Rico we have become to a certsin extent Spanish. and are fast ac- quiring Spanish speaking commercial travellers. Our drummers who go to Spain should be able to speak the lan- guage. They should carry a full line of samples and should expect. to do their business by talking rather than by letters and catalogues. The Spaniard reads lit- tie. but he likes to talk, and is always ready to look at goods. Theoretically the commercial traveller Is expected to pay a tax in Spain. but he seldom does so.
 There is also good opening in POrtu- gal. but the drummer who goes there must call on the governor of the first port at which he stops and get a residence per- init. This will cost him $2, and if he es- tablishes himself for general business he will have to pay tax of from $50 to s25O per annum.
 Our Inve -ion of Its-y.
 The American drummer will have little trouble in Italy if he speaks French or Italian. or even Spanish. He will find a wide-awake country and one that is doing an enormous amount of farming mining and manufacturing. Italy is three times as big as Indiana and it's population Is more than one-third that of the United States It is a country of wealth. not | withstanding the many statements that it Is poor Its foreign trade amounts to more than half billion dollars year and 1t buys almost $S00,0OO.0O0 worth oi goods annually. one-tenth of It's purchases being from the United States. We send Italy farm machinery. farm tools, food products and raw materials in the shapt | of cotton and other things. The country | has two million spindles in its cottoT mills and they turn out a product of S60 OOO, 900 a year. There are 5000 hands em ployed iI. these cotton factories and 90. .0O hands in the woolen mills. A large Dusl ness Is done in iron and steel and also il silk and flour.
 At present the branches of our trad which are selling most are those dealinl in heavy farm machinery. Italy has some thing like fifty million acres of farms and although parts of the country, lik the plains of Lombardy, are we'll cut III by mulberry plantations and irrigatinl ditches, our hay rakes and reapers an, mowers can be used.

woMEN's WORK.

Some Who Madd Their Own oppor- tunities and Are Successful. New York Sun.
 Women make their own opportunities nowadays without waiting for opportuni- ties to come.
 One of the most successful of the dress manufacturing firms in this city Is conn posed of two young women who, while engaged in teaching. began in q very modest way to put out some original work in dreEgmalSin9. First with the design for collarettes. then for the waists and finally for whole suits. these women have gradually enlarged their field until they supply some of the largest retail stores here and in other cities. Forty machines are run by electricity. and two floors on q prominent thorouGhfare are given up to their work.

She takes up every de- tail in the house in the line of furnish ingB that need sewing or mending-slip covers door hangings. curtains, seat cushions cushion covers and bed spreads.
 This woman keeps up with all the latest and best materials for such use and ad- vises upon them without buying. She Is supplied with samples of many of the small items that sometimes take hours of shopping to find just where they can be bought. With economical customers she slgillfully turns curtains and pillow covers. changing even the gimp in such a way as to hide the faded poStlons.

warehouse or supply point here and there along the Trans Siberian railroad. l am told that goods win bring 25 per cent more H they can be delivered at the time they are sold. The Siberian Russians like to see the goods before they buy them and to carry them away when purchased.
 Much of the Siberian business is done upon credit. but the people are sound financially. as rule, and they pay their notes, not objecting to a good round in- terest. At present the demand there is for our agricultural implements and farm tools. There Is also an opening for all kinds of milling and mining machinery. The government owns vast tracts, and it's orders for foreign tools are large. The commercial traveller will also have a chance to work among the villages many of which own lands in cotnsnon, buying their machinery at wholesale. In such trades the sales are made to the head men of the village, and the drummer should be something of diplomat and a good mixer.

 During the past year have been trav- cling chiefly in northern Europe along the tracks of our commercial invasion.
