American manufacturers concludes
Mr.. Odell, "to learn that the cotton
goods trade of the straits settlements
is so large and that it exceeds in value
the aggregate trade of the Red sea dis
trict and East Africa. with which
they are more or less familiar It is
true that we have not manufactured
some of the important lines in this
trade, but we do manufacture some of
the lines, and our failure to secure a
share of the trade appears to be due
most of all to Indifference and neglect.
The market is well worth more atten-
tion and if properly studied will in a
few years become an important outlet
for American cotton goods"

NEW MARKET
FOR AMERICAN
COTTON GOODS

WASHINGTON, d. G., March p
There issa market for S14 ,000, 900 worth
of cotton goods annually in the straits
settlements and the United States has
a smaller share of the trade than any
othe competitor For the last four
years our sales in this quarter have
amounted to only S22 900 annually. In
report. entitled, Cotton Goods in
the Straits Settlement" just issued by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce., of the department of com
merce, it is asserted that American
manufacturers have either overlooked
thi smarket entirely or have failed to
appreciate it because there has been
available no first hand information re-
farding it.
"The chief obstacle to American
trade in cotton goods" the report
states, "and, as a matter of fact, IN
| all lines, is the lack of an American
| importing firm in the straits settle
ment. II would not be true, however,
to say that the British importing
houses, which handle nearly all the
business, are adverse to purchasing
American merchandise, because many
of them are actually importing a con-
siderable quantity of goods from the
| United States, and an American tray-
elers who recently spent some time in
Singapore made a thorough canvas OF
the market and succeeded in getting
some very substantial orders, asserts
that when he could furnish the goods
at competitive prices he could in mos.
cases get the business.
The greater part Of the report is
taken mp with careful descriptions OF
the kinds of cotton goods in demand
in the straits settlements, although
considerable space is given to an
analysis of trade statistics. For the
assistance of American manufacturers
Ralph Odell, the author of the report,
collected a hundred samples of cotton
goods actually in demand in the straits
settlements. These samples are de-
scribed in the report and the samples
themselves will be sent to the various
textile centers for examination by the
manufacturers interested in the far
eastern markets.
A valuable chapter is devoted to
such important subjects as obstacles
to trade, steamship lines and rates,

eleven appropriation bills have

signed the first bill for the public
school appropriation. which was
intended to pay off the teachers
who had been without money for
several months.
The appropriation for the
schools for 1867 carries as in

still in his hal,ds. If this bill
gets his signature the public
school bill will carry for the two
scholastic years an increase of
$219.OOO.
We passed this afternoon the
appropriation for the insane hos.

SIT. 900 for each of the years
1867. 1t was on a basis of
$40 to cover the cost Of keeping

institution. A new building will
also be furnished to accommo-

Our Jackson Letter

Jackson, Miss, March IA -
After two and a half months in
session the legislature seems
hopelessly hung up on the prop
osition of revenue and appropri-
atoms. The Ways and Means
committee has failed to report
acceptable measures to the house
and the privilege tax bills which
are presented as a means OF rals-
ing revenue with which to run
the state government are very
promptly sandbagged when they
reach the house. This has beer
g0ifg On for some time now and
the situation is getting rather
unpleasant for the man who has
business at home and wants to
adjourn. These bills contain all
manner of absurdi,ies. AS al
business people know, there is
apparently a privilege tax On
everything already. yet yester
day a bill was introduced which
dug up more things to tax than
was ever dreamed of before.
Manv items were enumerated in
the bill, which was considered
by sections, and the entire DAY
was taken up in consideration OF
the measure when late in the
afternoon motion was made to
Indefinitely postpone and the bill
was sent to join many of its kind.
The author Of the bill was from
Soul M ssissippi and evidently
he, had spent some time in dig
ging up different things that In
his opinion could be mace to
bring in revenue for the state.
He stated that the measure
should be made to produce as
much as SIS, 900 or 500, 900 pei
annum. One of the items nov
recall was privilege tax Of So 81

I can now see our sheriff goins
out after the man who comes tt
town with mill logs or eight foo
wood and demand a privilege
tax for exercising the RICH
which has been enjoyed since
Noah unloaded his oxen from
the ark. This IS fair sample
of the nonsense of the bill.
The house and the senate can
not get together on the appro
priation bills. The house passe
a bill and it goes over to tn
senate and they change the fig
ures and it is sent back to tn
house which refuses to concur il
the senate amendment. A con
ference committee is asked TO
of members of the house ant
senate and this committee &c
together and agree. The con
ference report is brought bacl

to concur. and there you are
