American Buyers.

American Buyers.
Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
MANILA, May 8.The hemp firms in the
Philippines are beginning to realize the
gravity Of the complaints made by Amerl-
can consumers as to the poor quality OF
that article which has been shipped TO the
United States in the last four years. The
Bureau Of Insular Affairs complained about
this matter to the Philippine Commission,
which recently had conference with local
buyers.
Subsequent investigation indicated that
the cultivation Of the article has been greatly
neglected. At first its preparation greatly
deteriorated during the instruction owing
to the haste to send it to the markets In
a period OF high prices Gradually the
native and the foreign Arms came to be-
lieve that the American consumers were
dependent on the Philippine crops and must
accept poor quality, and therefore, en-
couraged hasty and inferior preparation.
The present awakening to the danger OF
the vanishing Of the market will probably
result in general reforms in this direction.
