Japanese newspapers, according 70
Vice Consul +. Z. Dicko7er, at Kobe,
state that there has been considerable
criticism. both by importers in various
parts Of the world and b. japanese
consuls. concerning the inferior quality
Of Japanese manufactures.
Japan's consuls and trade organiza-
tions claim that although, owing 70
conditions created b. the war, the
country has an exceptional opportunity
TO supply the markets Of the Orient,
the South Seas and Russia with innu-
merable articles formerly sold BY the
belligerent countries Of Europe, the
local manufacturers and exporters are
throwing away this opportunity By sup
plying goods OF inferior quality. Both
the local authorities and the national
government are attempting measures
designed TO improve the quality Of
goods exported by means of official in
spection.

A Rio dc Janeiro importing firm in
vited Commercial Agent Frank II. Won
Motz. to 60 70 Campos, in the sugar
zone Of the State Of Rio dc Jsneiro,
TO witness the working OF an American
tractor and plough which the company
was sending there for demonstration.
Mr.. Won Motz writes as follows con-
corning what took place:
The soil of that district Is a heavy
clay. very sticky when wet, and as
there had been much rain tho demon
stration was first delayed because OF
the condition of the field and then in
terrupted by heavy shower; but the
trial went far enough TO show me
wherein the manufacturer OF the trsc-
tor had failed to do his part.
I'm the first place. the tractor wns d
now line for this firm TO carry. yet the
only instructions furnished with the
machine we're printed in English. As
neither the mechanic nor any ono con.
nccted with the demonstration was &C.
quautcd with the language it was nee
cssary for me to translate the instruc
tons in order that the work might pro
coed.
an the second place, no extra spark
Mugs we're sent with the tractor. The
mechanic detailed TO conduct the dem
onstraton had never seen a tractor be-
fore. and when the motor would not
fire the first time he was certain there
was something wrong with the mag
reto and wanted to take II apart and
adjust il. advised against this. and
by going over the engine carefully dis
covered that the porcclains of one OF
the spark plugs had been cracked and
that 1t would not fire the motor under
C. load. As it is hard TO find spark
plugs here outside the cities, especially
those with American threads. an effort
was made TO adjust the broken part;
but when the tractor, with only one
cylinder firing, got stuck twice in the
mud the uselessness Of further daily
ing became apparent and new spark
plug was obtained. but only after a
great deal of trouble. With the new
spark plug in place and the carburetor
adjusted the tractor started of with
out any difficulty"

Cotton

Bcarish sentiment predominated IN
the cotton market Yesterday. Selling
pressure was heavy throughout the
session and. although there we're nu-
merous spasmodic rallies, the general
trend was downward, with losses OF 80
TO 80 points az the close. offerings
we're especially heavy az the start. u
being reported that Western interests
sold about % 900 bales in the first
hour
Another heavy selling wave came in
the last few minutes Of the session,
when a prominent local firm sold about
10 600 bales, said to be for German &C
count. This selling was described as
a hedge against purchases of actual
cotton in the South.
throughout the session there MS a
GOOD deal Of local short selling, while
brokers for New Orleans and Liverpool
account sold on balance. Although the
neace outlook was considered less
favorable. the opinion prevailed that
little. II any, Of the cotton sold came
from those who had bought carly m
the week when prospects seemed more
hopeful.
The bulk Of offerings was taken IN
by prominent spot firms. Brokers TOR
some of the biggest houses in the trade
stated that they had been we'll supplied
with buying orders all day and had
sold practically nothing. In addition,
i. was said that the leading spot hrms
have been buying actual cotton IN
Texas for the last three days.
The willingness of spinners TO take
in the contracts on all weaker spots
tend, to confirm claims that the spot
situation in the South shows no signs
% weakness. The few quotations re
ceiycd from that quarter yesterday
we're generally unchanged. Demand
was also stimulated by encouraging
advices from textile centres, where TIC
dsmand for goods is reported ss de-
cidedly brisk. On the whole, the vol
ume Of business was not large and i
eeomed evident that the majority. oil
traders were awaiting further develop
ments IN Eur>.e.

Industrial
Metals

Very little business in copper was
reported by the producers during the
week. says "The Engineering and Mining
Journal" barring a few sales Of round
lots for delivery in the second half OF
1911 This business was, however,
sporadic and was taken at considerable
discount from going prices. Early m
the week a little business for second
Quarter Of 1917. with some first quarter
thrown i'm. was done at 80 &c, r. {
Following that the market is quoted
uominally at unchanged prices. The
momentous news Of December ~ eX-
cited a good deal of concern without
having much direct effect upon the
market. This was but natural, in view
of the 5old-out condition Of the pro-
ducers. The chief effect that was dis
cernible was the offering of nearby cop
per at 34i2c. Indirectly it was evident
that those consumers who had decided
TO remain uncovered and take their
chances were better assured Of their
position"

cipal metals and metal products, COM

There are presses Of all vintages

some of the kind that the sight of
would make a ghost of Ben Franklin

right to work; many of the latest
model, but the plum for progressive
ness goes to Joe Widmeyer, veteran
editor Of the Glendive paper.
Widmeyer believes in his town,
which is one Of the live centers of the
eastern part of the state. 1t is not
quite large enough for daily paper,
but Widmeyer, having vision, has
prepared for that time of turmoil. He
believes in preparedness, hence his

A web press, in the matter of
speed, is as the automobile compared
to the OK wagon. Ten of fifteen
thousand an hour is play for it. It
necessitates stereotyping. Widmeyer
combines his editorial duties with the
work of the stereotyper. When he
