Similar offices soon will be established
at Chicago, New Orleans and San Fran
cisco. Experienced members of the
bureau staff will be in charge of these
offices to asst merchants and manufac-
urers in the development of their
trade. The publications of the bu-
reau, containing tips as to the desires
of the markets, will he on file, and
these offices will be made the sources
of information and assistance to all
persons or companies desiring to cul-
tlvate export business.

zone special feature of the work Of
these offices which will undoubtedly
interest business men and commercial
organizations generally is an arrange
ment made with the cordial aid and
cooperation of Wilbur ]. Carr, direc-
tor of the consular service, depart
ment of state, whereby consuls who
are in this country On leaves of alb
sence will visit the offices as conven-
fence permits and make them places
for meeting the representatives of
business houses who may desire to
cultivate business in the particular for
eign field in which the consuls reside.
Due notice will be given in advance OF
these consular visits through the daily
consular and trade reports of the bu-

through special notices to business
houses which may have filed their
names with that bureau as interested
in that special foreign field and
through advices sent to the trade and
commercial organizations of the city

Gated. Recently in New York the rep

The danger which threatened prior to the arrival
