Washington. June 6,-The depart ment of commerce and labor, bureau of manufactories, has received an in teresting report of the American trade possibilities in the province of Quebec | from Consul James H. Norman.
 Consul Norman says that 'the re- suit achieved thus far in efforts put forth to build up American trade here offers every encouragement. One of the largest wholesale hardware houses in the district was recommended to American manufacturers and jobbers as an energetic firm known to have l the best of business connections in the French Canadian trade. From a small beginning 1t has come to make large direct imports, and there are in- numerable lines of American goods re- placing those formerly bought in the home market or from English or Ger man houses. There is a considerable wholesale trade in dry goods and Yah kee notions centering in Three Rivers, There is every reason for much in- crease in imports of this class of goods if American manufacturers will visit the rich trade area between. Montreal and Quebec, on both shores of the St. Lawrence, and personally interest the dealers in American-made goods. The American watch and jewelry trade has the best of openings here. New Haven clocks are sold in quantities, and American watches have taken the field from Swiss and German makes. :"
 American Pumps.
 Consul E. L. Horni of smyrna re- ports that American pumps need no Introduction in Asia Minor. He says: The Importation goes back some twenty-five years, and probably no less than 7o,OOO American pumps of various types and sizes have been sold in that time in smyrna and from this important distributing center through out the interior of Asia Minor. By liar the greater number of pumps sold consisted until lately of the popular pitcher type, which, thanks to its sim lplicity and its low cost, was almost universally used in connection with the lmany artesian wells in this city. Ot recent years, owing to the establish ment by Belgian company of an elaborate pressure water system, the pump trade has declined, especially the pitcher type, so that what remains is principally confined to the demand of the interior and the islands of the archipelago. American pumps, while having lost ground by a wide margin, still come first and command a decided preference over any other importation
 Imported windmills are all of American make. represented by the galvanized steel article, direct stroke or back -geared. The use of windmills for pumping purposes is chiefly con fined to the immediate neighborhood oi Smyrna, where hundreds are in use The interior is proving rather slow ir adopting them, probably owing to the absence of the regular winds with which the Gulf of Smyrna is parti- tcularly favored, and also to the lack of funds of the inland farmer. The American steel windmills have beer successfully initiated here, and the cheapness of local manual labor en- ables the counterfeit product to un- dersell the original There is a promising field for American wind mills, especially if care Is taken to re- duce to a minimum their cubic meas urement when packed for export, SC as to economize in freight"
