The principal interest was attached TO

the United States. The bird market at
Bombay is one Of the most unique sights
of this city. there being offered for sale
here thousands of birds, chiefly from
India and the east coast of Africa. es-
pecially Zanzibar. There is a surprising
number Of dealers here who make their
living from this trade in birds.
The fad of keeping birds as pets
neCessitateS the use Of large numbers Of
cages. and few of these. Of the more
superior class, are imported from the
United States. The greater number OF
cages, however. including all of those
seen at the Bombay bird market, are of
native make, the material being split
bamboo fer the smaller cages and iron
and copper wire for parrot cages. with
bottoms which look as IL made from
kerosene tin cases. These native cages
sell from about 3 to IS cents for the
smaller kind and about s. cents apiece
for the larger parrot cages. Probably
many of the birds purchased in these
cheap cages are subsequently removed
to better cages. so that the bird dealers
are able to get the cheap cages back
again.
At the army and navy cooperative
stores at Bombay, where good qualities
of cages are sold, the makes are mostly
American and the prices are much higher
than for native cages. The chief demand
is for parrot cages. Those made of

Dealers state that while there is a very
good demand for cages, yet the native
article, though crude and unpretentious,
is so much cheaper than imported types
that sales of the latter are comparatively
few. However. for parrot cages, the i'm

Mr.. Farwell laid emphasis upon the

by that that our own manufacturers may
be ushered into an additional competition.

that the general distribution of mer-

was sent out:
