association of wood pulp manufac-

| United States with view to interest
/ ing American business men in eStab-
| fishing direct trade relations with

| A London cable of June 80 states
that according to dispatches from
| Munich the krupps works have been
! sold to Americans. 1t is added that
! several industrial concerns in the
! Bavarian capiai also have passed into
| merican hands.
Even the yet-to-be recognized revo-
lutionary government in Ireland is
! seeking direct trade with
| Irish this country because of the
goodwill feeling. Judge
Alaoe Cohalen of New York, ad-
dressing mass meeting in Washing
ton recently. quoted British govern
ment reports, which showed the ire
mendous profit made by England out
of the export and import trade of
Ireland. which thus has to pay an ex-
! cess profit to England on all COM
! merce.
Supplementing this comes a report
! from Consul Charles H. Hathaway, jr,
| in Queenstown. on the south of Ire
! land. as a market for American goods
! He points out that American export
! ers should think of Munster and its
/ back country as a prosperous farming
! region, with a population almost as
! large as that of Connecticut and an
! area a little greater than that of
! Vermont The population in 1911
was 1.O35.495, and the area, 1892
| square miles, but with less spending
! power per capita than the average
J American.
| The climate there is never hot nor
! cold, with a mean temperature of SO
| degrees, and very frequent, but rare
| Ireland is very hiliy, but mostly under
| 1000 feet in altitude.
| What is most important in this
| connection, there is very friendly
| spirit toward America,
| Orr Goods Consul Hathaway says,
| and by many American
| SOOuS are 10
/ British goods at the same price. The
! idea has been engendered that Ameri-
| can prices are high and American
| goods better in appearance than in
solid value. American hardware, cot
| ton underwear, farm machinery and
| cheap automobiles are staple in the
| south ireland market. Labor-saving
| devices for farms and household are
! now, owing to cost and scarcity of la
| Dor. in demand as never before.
The large wholesale firms in Liver
| pool and London handle virtually all
! of Corks trade. Cork buyers rely
/ on these firms to locate and supply
| the cheapest and best goods in the
! world, and are inclined to think that
| they actually receive such goods
more cheaply through the English
| wholesaler than they could buy di
| rect in the rather small quantities
| required by Cork jobbers, and here
| is how the cost to the consumer is
| increased through the extra profit to
! the English firms.
! Frequently the best means of ap-
preaching the south Ireland market
| is through a British agent or branch
| house established in Liverpool, Glas-
gov or London, for these three ports
normally have direct steamship con-
nection with Cork. To relieve this
| situation the establishment of a di-
! rect steamship service to New York
| is something that Cork business men
greatly desire.
