kBYSA48V l nave asked this question Of
- our American consuls at every
Sea-. ....tg my trip through the country,
and the answers are that he has. The
Japanese have tried to push their trade
In every possible way. and they Are dong
some things contrary to the best business
ethics. Nevertheless there is no disyl M
nation as to the admission Of goods. The
Chinese are allowed to buy and sell as
they please, and IL there are railroad re-
bates for Japanese goods they nave been
80 far kept secret. | understand that the
japanese cotton exporters have recently
adopted a lottery scheme for the sale Of
their sheetings. In every so many pack
ages OF goods they are putting notes for
small sums Of money which will be cashed
on demand, with a view to inducing the
Manchurian merchants to buy the goods
on the strength of these prices. This has
also been done in Shanghai. 1t is being
denounced by the chambers of commerce.
Another questionable transaction is the
shipping In OF American flour under Jap
anese trade marks, and in packages made
in Japan. The flour is brought across the
Pacific to Yokohama; it is there repacked
and shipped to the north and sold as Jap
anese. The trade marks are the same as
those to be adopted by a new FIGURING
mill which the Japanese are constructing
ON the railroad north of Mukden, our
flour Is thus being used to build up a
trade for that mill. The Manchus and
Chinese are noted for their faith in trade
marks. If they find an article all right
they will stick to it. and the trade mark
does much to sell the goods. For this
reason there are old store signs In China
which bring a hundred and some times d
thousand dollars apiece.

Banner Hail Storm in Adams County

So severe was the storm that limbs were
stripped from trees and the bark on the
west and north sides of many was
pounded off. The hail lay deep on the
ground the next day, as will be seen by
the pictures taken many hours after the
storm. 1t is reported that one farmer
made ice cream for his family dinner on
Sunday, using hail stones that fell Friday
night for ice.

from the word go. and 1t has hundreds Of
good Chinese stores. The streets fairly
swarm with peddlers, and almost as much
business is done on the sidewalks as in the
stores themselves. The Manchurian Chinese
chases the dollar even more ardently than
his Japanese brother. He trades on a closer
margin and beats him in nine cases out Of
ten.

American Cotton and Tobacco.


Today our chief exports to M~anchuriA,
outside Of railway materials, are cotton,
kerosene and tobacco. The Manchur-
ians use about 5000 COO worth Of cotton
sheetings every year, and the greater part
Of these come from the United States. The
Japanese, Germans and English are study
ing the market, but so far we have tho
lead.
As to tobacco, the American tobacco
trust has branches at all the important
point along the railroad, and It has
just erected a big factory at Mukden
which will make cigarettes and cigars fof
the Manchurian market. The building
covers perhaps, a quarter OF an acre. IL
is three stories in height, and Il huns
with American tobacco-making mRchin-
cry. ! understand that experiments in
native and American tobaccos will be
attempted. and also that farms will be
opened up where American seed win be
used. Our experts claim that the soil
here Is as good as that Of Virginia for
tobacco raising. .
