blankets and the market for them is
large. but those at present in the field
have only been introduced by persistent
effort on the part of their manufactur-
ers. These blankets are now established
and it will be necessary for American
manufacturers TO sell their goods at a
close margin of profit for year. or.
possibly, two years. During this time.
! however, a good foothold will undoubt-
edly be obtained, and after that, with Il
good demand created. the profit can be
enlarged by advances in the prices.
PROFPr MUST BE CUT IN
INTRODUCING NEW GOODS
This method is the common one pur-
sued in the introduction of new lines
of goods, and should be followed in this
line. In addition to this. If the goods
are handled by good importing house
they will often cut their commissions
for the purpose of further inducing a
sale, especially when they realize that
the manufacturer is earnestly endeavor-
ing to obtain a market for his products.
Regarding the market for enameled ware
Special Agent Crist says:
Very little of the American product up
to the present finds it's way into this mar
ket, but that it can be introduced in COM
petition with the European article there is
little doubt A member OF Chinese firm
which has undertaken to handle American
enameled goods told me he could put them
on the market anywhere in North China
in successful competition with like arti-
cles from Austria Decorated enameled
ware is limited in sale to the cities
where the Chinese have a greater pur-
chasing power, while the plain ware has a
large sale in all towns and cities and
throughout the provinces.
THE articles most in use are. first of
all, ordinary plain wash basins, blue out
side and white inside, having a rim diam
eter of from nine to fifteen inches. Basins
decorated on the white inside ground with
gaudily colored flowers or other fig
ures of Occidental design also take
very well. 1 mention particularly
Occidental and not Oriental designs. for
in this particular line Of goods the Chi
nese appear to prefer the artistic crea-
tions of the Western mind. Three or four
designs are placed on the inner side of
wash basins. with one bottom figure. also
on the inner side, and the decoration
may be either raised or smooth.
BLUE ENAMELED WARE VERY
GOOD SELLER EVERYWHERE
"Enameled wash basins are quoted at
prices varying according to their dimen-
sions, color of enameIing. whether light
or dark blue or pink. Blue enameled tea
kettles Of different capacities, ranging
from one to three quarts, are good SELL
ers."
Special Agent Burriil says that China
is good field for American dairymen
and horticulturists to study He thinks

dence going to show the possibility of

Chinese markets in constantly increasing

are retained here or in the Immediate
neighborhood. Piece goods are brought
from the United States almost exclu
sively, it might be said, for the north
ern market. and with one or two unim-
portant exceptions there is no sale for
them south of the Yangste River. A
reference to the customs daily returns
shows that the bulk of American goods
arriving here are re-exported to Tien-
tsin, Chefu and Newchwang. from
which cities with the exception OF
what is required for local consumption)
they find their way still farther north.
I'm order to be fully IN touch with
the market, take advantage of ex-
change and for other business reasons
which make their presence desirable at
the center of importation, Chinese
agents are maintained in Shanghai by
the various guilds of the territory
which draws its supplies from Shang-
hal. The piece goods guild, as an Illus
tration, has it's representative con-
stantly on the ground, and when there
is a demand for certain chops in his
home city he is communicated with and
makes his purchase from the Shanghai
dealer or what may more properly be
termed the Shanghai piece goods job

tive dealers of other cities transact
their business direct, but these are in

INTERIOR Is REPRESENTED
by AGENTS AT SHANGHAI
.sThe guild is the dominating infu-
ence in all commercial transactions in
China, and in maintaining an agent in
Shanghai the native merchants of other
cities, who are always members of
these organizations, are able at all
times to secure the latest market quo
tation and at the same time make 1t
practically an impossibility for any one
Chinese dealer doing bushes in an out
port to obtain and have stock shipped
to him at q price which will permit
of him undersellina the local market.
The outside native merchant seldom
comes in contact with the Shanghai
piece goods merchants, as the business
is usually transacted through the job
ber who also assumes the title of In
termediate broker.
"It seems a cumbersome and round
about way of transacting business. but
it is the Chinese way and cannot be
said to work any hardship on the for
eign merchant, whatever may be the
effect on the consumer when the goods
reach him loaded down with the profits
of the native middlemen and dealers
who handle them.
"In addition to the large shipments of
piece goods made to Tientsin, Newchwang
and Chefu from Shanghai a greater or
less quantity is with great regularity re-
exported to Hankow Kiukiang. Chin

''As stated by Secretary Metcalf in his
speech in Atlanta before the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, the manu-
factures of the United States have in
creased thirteenfold in the past forty
years, while the population has increased
but fourfold.' This, in few words, tells
the story which the future holds for the
American MANUFACTURER. His duty to
himself and to his constituency is to find
a market which will employ the energies
of that rapidly increasing army In a ra-
tional manner, with a well-defined under
standing of the needs of that market.
'At time when prosperity in all lines
of industrial activity is prevalent at
home. the American manufacturer with
comparatively little inconvenience and
expenditure, may safely improve the op-
portunity which has long appealed to him
and secure at least foothold in mar
ket which, during a period of domestic
business depression, will insure steady op-

his people.
IF the attention of our manufac-
turers be earnestly given to study of
the possibilities of foreign markets,
with the determination to learn what
is wanted, how to supply that want,
how to deliver the goods, and then to
wait for profits until the business is
established, it will be found in the long
run that profits would be as large and
as steady from the foreign as are OBJ
tained in the domestic market. Atten-
tion to details, perseverance, patience
and a determination to win are pre-
requisites to a successful export busi-
ness. In from three to five years good
returns may be looked for Sales or

GUILD SYSTEM IN CHINA
OUGHT TO BE UyDERsTOoD
Special Agent Burril declares in one
of his reports that the American ex-
porters should familiarize themselves
with the guild system in Northern
China. Following is an interesting ex-
tract from the report:
Shanghai, it must be remembered is
the distributing point for Northern and
central China, and comparatively few

BE DISPLACED Bl- AMERICA
At present European blanket makers
control the Chinese market for that line
but Special Agent Crist believes that in
time the Americans will win out in that
field. His report on this subject will be
of considerable interest to American
blanket makers. He says:
Cotton blankets are sold in this mar
ket in very substantial quantities of both
German and English manufacture. The
lighter weight blankets are scarcely heav-
Ter than outing flannel of good weight
while the heavier ones are slightly bet
ter. These blankets have an ever-increas-
ing field of distribution, not only in the
immediate market afforded by the prov
ince of Chilli. but the provinces of Ho-
nan. Shansi and Shensi are comparatively
large buyers. The importation of cotton
blankets through Tientsin in 1904 amount
ed to 1882 pieces. Many of them are
finding their way farther west into the
interior as far as Kansuh province and
into the northern Manchurian market, the
province of Kirin being a large buyer
Cotton blankets are not sold on orders
from the native merchants in the manner
usual to foreign trade, due TO fluctuations
in the prices of cotton, but are received
by the commission agent on consign-
ment from the manufacturer, who names
a minimum price. Samples of the con-
signment are examined by the Chinese
merchant. from which he makes his selec-
ton.

price quoted on No. 8 is AL cents per

smaller numbers weighing three and

cotton in the same style, is heavier
