JUTE BAGS IN BRAZIL.

Deputy Consul General Joseph j.
Slechta, Of Rio de Janeiro, furnishes
the following report on the conditions
under which the monopoly of jute
bag manufacture is profitably car
ried on in Brazil:
The bags used to hold Brazil's inn
mense coffee crops are manufactured
by national industrial establishments.
When It is remembered that last
year Brazil needed over 2O.0OO.OO
jute bags to hold the years coffee
production, and that each bag costs
the shipper a trifle over IS cents. it
is seen that the business of manufac-
turing coffee bags takes on very con-
siderable proportions, amounting last
year to nearly S4,OO0.OOO. Bags made
Of the same material are used also for
rice, beans and other agricultural
products Of Brazil.
The greater part OF these bags are
manufactured by five large establish
ments which have hitherto been more
or less Independent OF each other.
Two of the largest OF the factories
are owned by an American who is also
the sole owner of large cotton mills.
Through the efforts of this mill own
er all five of the large mills producing
bags for coffee and other purposes
have been brought under one manage
ment.
Only a few weeks have elapsed
since the completion of the organiza-
ton, but already the prices have been
raised about one-third of cent per
bag.
Bags are manufactured from the
raw jute, nearly all of which Is i'm
ported from British countries, the i'm
ports therefrom in 1906 amounting to
about s2,5OO,OOO. OF course the
United Kingdom could produce the
finished article much cheaper than It
can be manufactured here. but the
item of duties is a factor to be reck-
oned with on that score. The duty on
iute bags is 500 erls per kilo (2.2
pounds) which becomes in actual
payment, including proportion paya-
BILE in gold. about 35 cents.
The average weight of bags used for
coffee is approximately 44O grams, or
very nearly one pound, which means
about 16 cents per bag in customs
charges, and since the manufacturers
price averages a little more than IS
cents per bag, the duty amounts to IS
per cent, as based on the price here.
while If based on the manufacturers
price in England amounts to a much
higher rate

THE ABUZZI.

Miss Elkins, If she becomes the
wife of the cousin of the little king
of Italy, will be not only duchess
but princess. Louis was born up
among the mountains in the north
east corner Of Italy, his home being
among the widest and loftiest peaks

to April, and on some of the peaks
the year round. Here the young
prince learned mountain climbing. He

the City of Homes. This explains
why the great ambition of the artisan

our artisans become our citizens and

cost the Chicago merchant $1.00, and
on all freight originating on the'Pa-

as Chicago. On all freights from the
south Detroit also enjoys the Chicago

can be found almost every lproduct
turned out OF the shops and the mills
OF Detroit. There Is no line of goods

There are many reasons why this is
true, The wholesalers Of the city,
most OF whom are members OF the
Wholesalers association OF Detroit,
are In such excellent financial condi-
ton that they are able to discount
their bills, thus getting advantage of
the lowest possible buying price, and
that advantage is shared with the re-

ropes To a certain extent this re-
lieved the strain on the constaoies
who had been there all the morning,

the crowd little.

He turned about and gave his or

thrown open and the Victor was run
through on slips very similar In con-
struction to those from which the ID
had been launched at the back OF the
bungalow at Cookham.
AS the shimmering hull OF the Vic
tor was run out into the sunlight a
great roar burst from three hundred
thousand throats.
The crowd swayed backward and
forward, and then swayed forward
again. The great wave OF humanity
struck and shook the hollow square
of constables. The policemen reeled
and then braced themselves and with
almost their last gasp forced the
crowd back again.
Yet still over the hill and up from
the valley we're streaming thousands
upon thousands OF late arrivals.

Judge Thomas Cooley, formerly OF
