 According to a report issued by the Bureau of Manufacturers theBraziltan National Exposition at Rio de Janeiro is a pjronounced success. It opened August 1 and will not close until Jan- uary 1. The following tracts from the report are apt to prove interesting to many business men in the South:
 ''The displays of Brazilian industrial enterprises in some respects form the greatest point of interest in the entire exposition. The chief element in Bra zilian industrial life Is that of cotton manufacturing. cotton factories form ing more than third in value and the value of the output of all the indus tries of Brazil Naturally the chief element in the industrial poftion of the exposition Is that of cotton manu- factures. the leading national factory product. The range of goods displayed Is much more general than the range of goods sold in Brazilian markets at present, offer.-.g q convin:ing Iiiuf- tration of what Brszilian ..oss9n man ufaeturing in the near future is to be. Practically all standard goods are dis played, including many varieties which have been purchased in the United States in the past and to some extent at the present time. Among such goods are number of patterns of peculiar ly American style; in short they are frank limitations of American goods. Other foreign goods also are initiated notably number of light French and English fabrics, the limitations of American goods running especially to light ducks, white and striped, and to denims and goods similar to blue over- all stock The musllns put out are very largely limitations of well known brands, the labels of which in some eases are closely followed.
 The most notable display of ma ehinery in an agricultural line is that of an American cotton gin company. The display consists of battery of three gins of the largest capacity and most modern sort, electrically operat- ed. and mounted upon the main floor of the machinery building. The gins are operated daily and turn out more cot ton than any cotton factory in Brazil uses in the same time. The entire ma-
 
 exhibit, the gins and the exhibit of shoe machinery previously noted form ing the principal and most interesting portion of this branch of the exposi- ton. There Is a considerable display of machinery for working with eoffee in the same building, but 1t attracts little and in general is not illustrative of great success in this line of me- chanical invention. The displays of such machinery indicate a possible profitable field for American inventive ness.
 The exhibits of American goods in the exposition have been very credit able and have attracted more than the expected amount of attention. may add that all of them, so far as I have been able to ascertain, have been dl- rectly successful financially. Most of them have actually sold enough goods to make the ventuhe to date an ina mense financial success for them and the ultimate results will be immensely greater. The most notable success has been that of those American houses which have made their own exhibit directly, such as the cotton gin com pany, the we'll machinery company, and rice cultWating implement people. ] think 1t safe to say that the work done at this exposition has given such con cerns a hold on the Brazilian market in their. respective lines, which will hold most Brazilian business in such lines in the United States indefinitely in the future"
