OPPORTUNITIES LOST BY
AMERICAN EXPORTERS
Manufacturers Fail to Supply
Goods Demanded

Consul General Frank Dillingham; of
Coburg forwards the following article
from the Bulletin of the American AS
citation of Commerce and Trade of Ber-
lin, and written by the secretary of
that body:
The writer when lately at the Leip-
zig fair was besieged with complaints
concerning the failure of American
firms to deliver and their great reluc-
tance to acquieSce in the recommended
tions of their representatives to manu-
facture certain lines and patterns of
goods adapted to the German wants.
The first complaint is one of long
standing and is owing to the reluc-
tance on the part of American firms
wishing trade with Germany, and in
deed export trade in general, to or
ganize their export department on a
scientific basis and to give up the dump
ing system. Until this is done the
American export trade will not attain
a healthy growth but be subject to the
capriciousness of heads of firms.
Either a firm should take up the ex-
port trade Systematically and devote a
certain amount of the yearly output to
such trade, or it should be dropped al
together
"A western automobile company told
the writer when at their factory that
If they felt able to. devote 1000 ma
chimes year to the German trade they
would go into it, otherwise they would
keep out of it; very honest avowal
Regarding the second complaint,
there is scarcely any class of American
goods, possibly with the exception of
boots and shoes, which can not we'll un-
dergo some alteration to suit the taste
of German buyers. The Germans do
this and meet with success. For in
stance, the Germans are used to deep
glass butter dishes and will use no
others. certain American firm lately
Informed its representative that the
shallow ones were the only ones they
made. This is only one of a hundred
cases where American exporters fail to
respect the demands of buyers.
''rhe writer would call attention to
the growing Importance of the Leipzig
fairs They offer the very best oppor-
tunfty for showing goods and distribut-
Ing samples. Most American firms seem
to regard the Leipzig fairs as negli-
gible quantity"

under the auspices of the California
aero club, was disappointed. The wind
blowing over the EmeryTille race
course, where the flights were to have
been made, made it impossible for
either the Curtis aeroplane of Fred
Johnson, who few some months ago
at Alameda, or the two hot air bal
looms on the grounds to make an as

Repeated trials were made to fill the
balloons, Captain A. P. Van Tassell of
the club and several other bay region
aeronauts attempting to get the appar-
atus into shape. As fast as hot air was
fed to the big balloon from the gen
orator it was blown away by the stiff
breeze, until finally H. A. Risner. man
ager of the California aero club, and
Charles Vosmer, where were backing
the scheme, announced that the trials
would be postponed. Tomorrow, if the
winds permit, another attempt to make
the flights will take place.
In a wind like this said Risner, "it
would only be folly to take out the
aeroplane, and the balloons can not be
filled. If arrangements can be made
with the management of the track we
will hold an aviation meet later in the
week and If the wind changes we will
make our trials tomorrow"

GERMAN MUNICIPALITIES
TO HAVE CENTRAL BANK
Will Greatly Facilitate Sale of
Their Bonds

The proposed plan for a municipal
bank on a large scale in Germany
is explained by Consul General Richard
Guenther of Frankfort:
The want of such an institution to
provide for the money requirements of
the various provincial, county and dis
trict, city, town and community govern
ments has long been felt in Germany,
where these public corporations appear
continuously in the home money mar
kets with bond issues for modern i'm
provements electric works for light
ing, traction and supplying motive
power to industrial establishments. gas,
water and drainage works school
houses, exposition halls, hospitals and
other buildings for public use, apart
ment dwellings for officials and the
working classes, etc.). Municipal loans
have not met as favorable a reception
as the loans of mortgage banks, of
the federal and state governments, and
of financial and industrial joint stock
companies, which latter generally pay
a higher interest rate.
At the end of 1906 there were 222
German municipal corporations having
outstanding bonds of various issues. in
terest rates and redemption periods
Most of these bonds have limited
market; there is no lively business In
them and their prices are not frequently
quoted, hence their valuation is not
as good as that of other classes of
bonds in which there are daily transar-
tfons in all the German and some even
in foreign money markets.
This projected central municipal
bank is to issue it's own bonds (se-
cured by the bonds of the individual
municipal corporations), which will be
listed on all the German bourses, and
especially, will find investment places in
the money markets Of European coun-
tries Netherlands. Belgium, Switzerland
France and England). The combined
Indebtedness of German communities
and municipalities (having a popula-
tion of over 10000 was in the year 1881
but 772,000,000 marks (mark, 23.S
cents), in 1907 it amounted to $780,
100000 marks, and since then has in
creased by several hundred millions.
AT present these hundreds of corpora
tions compete with each other in the
financial market, and labor under seri-
Gus disadvantages. When unified In
one central and we'll known institu-
tion. they can obtain funds promptly
and at more favorable rate of interest
sued by the great central municipal
find ready disposal any day of and in all
German money markets, besides hav-
ing fair prospects of coming in demand
by foreign investors.
A working capital of $4,000, 900 marks
is deemed sufficient to start the new
bank.

BARITONE SINGS AT

BERKELEY, July S.-Encore after
encore greeted Robert II. Thomas, the
Oakland barytone, who rendered one of
the most successful half hour of music
programs ever heard at the Greek the

well known as a soloist in Oakland
churches. chose his program from sew
eral old English songs and a few of the
modern classics and was accompanied
by Vincent de Arrellaga, pianist.
Especial success was achieved by the
singer in his song "A Jolly Old Cava-
Her" one of the older English ballads,
and his rendition of "Thora,'' a compo-

rendered two piano solos in addition to
accompanying the singer. The pro-

CHARTER ELECTION
TO Be WEDNESDAY,
Progressive Ticket Adherents
Make Fight to Capture En-
tire FreehOlders' Board

OAKLAND, July 3.-Fifteen freehold
ers. who will draft new charter for
this city, will be chosen by ballot next
Wednesday. July G. when the long
heralded charter election will be held.
AS at the primaries toward the close
of last month the fight will be between
the citizens progressive ticket candi-
dates and the charter convention can
didates
In the primary the progressive ticket
won all but two of the republican
nominations. These two places were
taken by r. H. Chamberlain and W. A.
Dow Of the charter convention ticket.
and against these two men will the
union labor forces and other pro
gressive' sallies make their fight. They
hope to elect two democrats, John ].
Mcdonald and Dennis S. Mccarthy, who
were progressive candidates ct the
primaries and who won democratic
nominations.
Chamberlain is the only charter con-
vention. candidate with both democratic
ocratic ballots will appear to be a
charter convention list, but on that
ticket are several candidates who are
allied with the progressive forces as
candidates. They were opposed by
neither faction.
There will be "a names put before
the voters. The progressives hold that
the republican ticket will be easily
victorious. with the possible exceptions
of Dow and Chamberlain, the charter
conVentionites. For the reason that the
fight is not between republicans and
democrats primarily, but between two
factions, the progressives are making
the harder fight against Dow and
Chamberlain, with Mccarthy and Nc
Donald as the desired democrats.
The union labor and administration
interests seek to elect freeholders'
board that will be harmonious, and
Mcdonald and Mccarthy have declared
their principles in accordance with
those of the other progressive candi-
dates. On this score of harmony in the
board the progressives are opposing
Dow and Chamberlain.

AMERICAN TIN CANS
A BOON TO MALAYSIANS
Utensils Are Devoted to Mani |
fold Uses by Natives

The usefulness of tin cans in Malay
sia after they have been emptied of
American prepared products is de-
scribed by Consul General James T. Du
Bois of Singapore:
The Malay peninsula produces about
= 65 per cent of the total output of tin
in the world, which amounts to nearly
5000 tons, valued at $41,00O.000; of
this the United States consumes about
fourth. The amount of this tin that
comes back to the Malay peninsula in
the form of tin cans is interesting Of
the approximately S2.000,000 worth of
goods shipped from the United States
to this region, about SS00,000 of it
comes in tin cans of all varieties. 1t
requires 100000 one gallon tin cans
to bring the petroleum. and the pur-
poses for which these cans are used
after the oil has been consumed is
varied and peculiar.
Thousands of the cans are used as
water buckets The interior of a
Malay, Tamil, or Chinese home contains
American tin cans of all sizes and
shapes, put to some useful purpose
Sleeves are made by puncturing holes
Thousands of dust pans are make from
the cans by removing one side, curving
two sides and attaching a large wooden
handles Baking and cooking utensils
of all kinds are also skillfully manu-
factured ana may De seen IN thousands
of homes. For storing articles of food
against ant onslaughts the tin can is
blessing.
Hundreds of men are engaged in
manufacturing from tin cans tunnels
pepper and salt casters, cocoanut and
nutmeg graters, lamps. biscuit tins,
tea and coffee pots. ladies, mugs, cake
patties, Chinese pipes, oil pumps. money
boxes and the framework for false
teeth So necessary has the American
tin become to these people that to be
deprived of its manifold uses would
ause a real hardship.
