The mere fact that the firm should contemplate estabiishi ing an ofice In this city speaks most fa- vorabiy for the repute being acquired by Montgomery.

The extraor- dinary growth of this section should make 1t q most desirable field for con structive work.
 The reply to Mir. Dawes letter, which was dispatched yesterday. will be awaited with considerable interest. Such moves as that under considera- ton by the Indianapolis firm tend greatly to the upbuilding of the city.

 as carried on in foreign countries wIth a view of increasing the home pro duct. the Bureau of Manufactures had W A Graham Clark, one of It's spe- eiaI agents, make an investigation or tha matter in Switzerland, while Uni ted States consuls in France, Belgium Germany, England and British india were also called on for reports on the subject. These have been receIEe1 Dy the Bureau of Manufactures and have fust been printed In pamphlet form for circuIation among interested persons.
 Thn innports of cotton laces and en- broiderIes last year reached nearly sIS O0o O0O worth of which 3s per cent came from Switzerland. or SIX faces and embroiderles and ribbons there were over $s.00o,ooO in value imported snd q large per centage of those also aan.n |rono switzerland. Thus in laces, synbroideries and silk ribbons the Uni- .ad states imported from Switzerland anariy 800 900, 900 worth, while the to- taI ,ty,oorts of all goods obtained di- rect from Switzerland were nearly $29,- ooo. 900 worth, although the recorded Axnnrfq from the OhltSu OldNGS LO switzerIand were only $61S.017, but much of the goods imported into Switz- erIand goes through France. and Is credited as exports to France. Switz- Arland. while an interior country mountainous in territory, exported last year cotton manufactures to the value of about $450OO.OO0. although the Uni ted states, which produces the raw cotton, exported only $26,000,Ooo worth
 The average value of the raw cotton lnnorted Into Switzerland was over 14 cents per pound. while the average value of the exports was $1.15 per nound. and of tho exports of cmbroid- eries and Iaces $2.07 per pound. It would appear from this. according to inc agents of the Bureau of Manufac- t1res that there was sufficient profit to enable all this work to be done in thA United States, though. a matter of fact. the exports of cotton manu- lectures from the United States were 81S. OOO, GOO less in value last year than in the previous year. and s14.000. 900 less In value in 1908 than in 1905, though the imports of such goodswere s1i .O0O, 900 greater last year than In inc previous year and Sl4000, 900 great CT in 1906 than In 1905
 From these facts 1t would appear

cent of the product of Calais in laces The production there has increased more than fifty per cent in the last three years.
 In 1907 Calais exported to the United States about s3.500.000 worth of laces Nottingham. England. in which about 61, 900 people are dependent on the Iaco industry. exported to the United States last year s7,50O,000 worth of that material; and Piauen. GermanA sent s5,00O0O0 worth to thls country
 The United States Consul in that place says that $s.57 week is con sfdered good wages In Plauen. The children are employed in great num- bers in that city making laees. In Belgium. where a great deal of lace IS made and exported to the United States, the United States Consul re- ports that the majority of the work men earn from ten to seventeen cents a day. and the best workers get only twenty cents, He says that there are only ten or twelve out of 15,O0O who earn as high as thirty-six cents a day. There are 160 schools where lace mak- ing is taught in Belgium. but the ex- ports of this product continue to de- cline
 In India chixon embroideries are ex- ported to the United States. and Con- sul-General Michael reports that an article that requires six days to make, working ten to twelve hours a day, sells for less than s1, and that the workers receive less than thirty three cents.
