SHOES in GERMANY
HOW AMERICAN a ONES
ARE BEING INTRODUCED.
Gratifying Results Follow the Expert
ment of a Boston Household Bust
ness Done in Berlin and Elsewhere.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Consul Samuel
H. Shank sends the following account OF
the recent successful Introduction of Amer
lean footwear in the German city of Mann
helm;
1t is interesting to note the success
which some lines Of manufacture anu
certain American manufacturers have at
tanned in introducing their goods in Tor
elgn markets. Perhaps the reports made
some time ago by the consular oncers
as to the prospect for the American shoe
in foreign countries may have aided the
exporter in determining what fields 10
enter. and therefore the success
the efforts of those now in the held may
be helpful to others, not only in the saine
line but also in other branches or manu-
~facture.

ms laces. polish, polishers, ruoper heels
and the like.
some effort has been made before to sell
American shoes here, but with lnoihelen'
success, as the dealer was not able TO carry
a full line of sizes and styles The melhoo
adopted by this concern has overcome lness
difficulties. This firm has two large stores
lin Berlin and Cologne. In the Berli
store it carries a complete stock, and from
this the other branch store are able te
'size up each week, and so the smailer
dealers are not required to carry such "
large stock. Thus the main store couple
much the same place as tie whoiesaie
dealer in the United States
While the branch in this city has been
open but three months, the success Is sucn
that the dealer contemplates opening q
store for handling American shoes eXclu,
slvely. The trade thus far has been secured
without advertising, and it Is believed tha'
with proper advertisement and care VI
catering to the tastes of the people the
exclusive American shoe store viii De ]
profitable business.
In this case the manager is n young Ger
man wto has spent four ear in the en-
ploy of shoe dealers in America, and not
only is he familiar with the advantages
of the American-made Shoe, but also under
stands the German taste. 1t would seem
that this plan, having a central house
carrying a full line and establishing
by other firms, not only in the shoe bust
ness h1t in MANY other lines.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 4
points to a deline of / point. which was
just about as due on the cables. Trading
was active, with considerable covering on
reports of a better spot demand, and prices
worked mp to a net advance of TO to II
points on the active months, or about &c
to 81 points above the low level OF yes
terday during the early session. Offerings
increased on the bulge and the market
sagged off to within 2 or 8 points OF last
nights finals during the middle of the
morning. Part Of the buying here was
against sales in the Liverpool market on
the theory that the two markets would
eventually sell nearer together.
The decline to practically the closing
figures of the previous day during the
middle OF the morning was followed by a
sharp advance later OF rumors of Gulf
storm and predictions of W tempera-
lures in the Southwest, neither of which
were confirmed by the official forecast.
Prices at midday were about II to Is points
net higher.

SURGERY FOR CHAMPAGNE.
Modification of Hypodermic Needle for

Surgery for champagne is the latest de-
%velopment in the effort to keep the supply
of the sparkling of fair quality up to the
demand, says the Philadelphia Record. 1t
is different from "doctoring," the old. vul-
gar process. It is described as surgical and
absolutely scientific.
1t Is applied during the supplementary
stage of fermentation after the wine is
bottled. The wine Is said to be ION the
laths," owing to the peculiar way IN
which the bottles are piled in the cellars OF
the Wine-growers.
The fermentation has already developed
a considerable amount of carbonic acid
and the pressure inside the bottle is 10 to
IL pounds to the inch. The problem Is to
introduce chemical agents into the bottles
In order to correct any defects that may

COTTON EXPERIMENT
IN BRITISH INDIA.
Made by MI. Spence and Seems to Be a
Success-Tree Which Withstands
Long Periods of Drought.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Consul John
1. Grifiths writes that prominence has
been given in the Liverpool newspapers to
an announcement of the sale on that mar
ket of a sample consignment of five bales
of Indian spence cotton" at fifteen cents
ner mound. The consul sends the follow
ing on this subject, concerning which con-
siderable has been printed from consuls
in India:
1.-THE sample of cotton referred to is the
result of three years experience with an
Indigenous Indian cotton by J r. Spence
formerly a member of the Liverpool Cot
ton Association. The product Is stated 10
be strong and wiry. with a staple of ] TO
~ inches in length. It is suggested that
the sale of the sample of Spence cotton
at the price named indicates important
possibilities in the vast cultivable area of
India.
"a local paper says: There are now con-
siderably over 5000 trees on Mr.. Spences
plantation at Deesa, Bombay Presidency,
in a most f1ourishing condition, growing to
a height of from six TO seven feet, full OF
buds and bolls and bearing cotton daily.
The WELD of the first year has proved to
be two and one-half ounces per tree, and
MS there ale over 5000 trees TO the acre,
this gives as the first years yield son
mounds per acre. The second years crop
has proved double that of the first. and 1t
increases every year.
This cotton tree, it is claimed, is able
to Withstand long periods of drought. and
has so far escaped the ravages OF the
troublesome bollworm. The Indian cotton
tree does not appear to require much at
tention nfter 1t has been once planted, and
IL grows to a height of six or seven feet.
It's greatest production is in its third year.
An effort is now being made in England
to organize a company for the production
and exploitation of this COTTON

WARNED OFF EXCHANGE.
Former Congressman Stephen v. White
Among Number.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-Stephen WHITE
was among the victims uf a drive made yes
terday by the governors Of the New York
Stock Exchange against fifteen or twenty
men who have been spending most Of their
time in the smoking room on New street
and buying and selling puts and calls
there. None OF them is a member of the
exchange. Hereafter they will have to
keep off the premises. Eleven of them
got this warning yesterday.
Ex-Congressman White had n great rep
ntation as a stock market manipulation
twenty years ago. That was shortly after
he made a couple Of millions on a corner
In Lackawanna. Since then things have
not been going so well with him. He tried
10 corner corn in 1891, and it broke him.
But he paid all his debts and got back
on the stock excnange. He failed again
in 1893, but got back for the second time.
He never resained mis- old prestige, now
ever, and he sold his seat IN November,
1909, after having been a member almost
forty years.

MOTOR ROADS IN AFRICA.
Automobile Freight Service Between the
Congo and the Mile.

In the Congo Free State, under the
direction of a central automobile de-
partment, more than a years work has
been done in the construction of special
and the establishment of the
-forerunners of a network or automo-
bile freight lines.
The road on which work is being
most rapidly pushed. and on the COM
pleted portion of which freight is now
being transported, will be the longest
and most important of these enter
prises, says the Motor World. 1t Will
connect the Congo with he Nile at
Rejaf. only a short distance south of
Gondokoro, which is now cached reg
ularly by passenger n freight steam
ers from Khartum.
When the freight road Is completed,
in about two years, the upper Congo
will have automobile. steamboat and
rail connections with the Mediter-
ranean, as well as steam transportation
to the mouth of the Congo and Europe.
III starting point is about 600 miles
ID the Congo above Stanley Pool.
There are some long stretches of navi-
| cation where the loaded automobiles
will be carried on small steamers, but
the total length of the freight road will
be five hundred miles.
The attitude of the natives along the
| Welle Maku toward the advancing en-
terprise is highly gratifying to the
come to the whites. The chiefs have
complained that the carrier service be-
tween the Belgian posts takes too nan
men from their usual pursuits, and the
whole region is happy over the fac
