Consuls Tell of Expanding Market In Orient and Suggestion for Improvement ot Sales Meth ods la Offered. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAt, Wash ington. Oct. 4. Oregon and Washing ton flour exporters can readily swell their sales In China if they will make a careful estimate of that market, and make an endeavor to cater to the de manda of Chinese buyers. This view is concurred in by Consuls George E. An derson at Hongkong and E. Carlton Raker of Antung. who have made ex tensive reports to the Department of Commerce and Labor on American flour sales In China th- past year. According to these reports half the flour Imported by China last year were from Oregon and Washington. Out of 5.000.000 bags Imported, 2.500,000 bags were shipped from Portland or from Puget Sound. The Importations were somewhat heavier during the past year than theretofore, because of the dam age to the Chinese wheat crop, which diminished the home supply, and due also to the comparatively low price of Pacific Coast flour. That there will be heavy.demand for Oregon and Wash. Ington flour this year is predicted, for again the Chinese wheat crop has been extensively damaged, and much of ft is unsuitable for flour manufacture. Competition from Chinese mills is not apprehended, says Consul Anderson, foe they are heavily handicapped by the diminished local supply of wheat. Market larresslsg Largely. Wr'tlng from Antung, Consul Baker says: "A remarkable advance In the sale of American flour has taken place In this district within the last six months, while Uie consumption of native flour has shown a corresponding diminution. The chief reason for the change has been the reduction In the price of Amer ican flour. Lst year the price was so high that few Chinese could afford to buy. and although the native flour was somewhat inferior in quality It was preferred on account of the low price. The -cost of the former Is the equiva lent of 11.1 United States currency, while the latter costs about J1.18. The lower grades of Japanese flour cost less per sack than either the American or the Chinese product, but they are gen erally lighter In weight and cost little If any less per pound. "Another factor In the present situ ation is the extent to which foreign flour is displacing native rice as a staple article, which now costs more per pound than flour. Then, too, the Chinese are Increasing the variety of their food and find that flour can be used to advantage with several other articles, whereas rice Is more valuable when it serves as the principal article of food. Picture Labels Sutrgested. "Practically all of the American flour Bold here comes from Washington and Oregon. There are about ten brands being sold at the present time, and the methods of handling them could be im proved In several respects. The Chi nese. for Instance, cannot read the Eng lish labela and are guided almost en tlrely by the picture on the sack. The picture, therefore, should be one which tney can easily recognise and remem ber. It Is best to use some symbol which is familiar -to. the ordinary Chi nese rather than one which Is entirely foreign to their life, customs, and man ner of thought. Symbols such as a Junk, peacock, dragon, poppy, rooster, cross, tiger, star, Hon, etc, would be best." The situation In North China Is dis cussed by Consul Anderson, who says: "The only unfavorable feature of the situation from the standpoint of the American flour manufacturer Is the price of wheat In the Pacific North west, by which Oregon and Washington mills have been seriously handicapped. "The result has been that for the first time In years Australian flour has come into the Hongkong market to tho extent of over 140,000 bags, ordered In June for delivery In July, August and September. .Australian wheat growers are glad to dispose of their product upon the basis of Liverpool prices, which Pacific Coast farmers have not been willing to do. "In no market In the world does a difference of a few cents per bag In the price make so great a difference In consumption as In Hongkong, where flour is sold for Chinese consumption upon a most delicate balancing of the comparative values of wheat, rice, millet and other food products."

An officer from the Italian torpedoboat destroyer Alplno, who landed here this afternoon. gave an explanation or tne report ao Insistently circulated that the Italians had landed at Prevesa on September 28, the day before war was declared. Captain Blscaretti, commander of the section of the flotilla of torpedoboats sent by Vice-Admiral, the Duke of Abruxxi. to Investigate the surround ings of Prevesa and see If the enemy's ships were there, dispatched two tor pedoboat destroyers to inspect the coast north of Prevesa. Lieutenant Pannuaa landed, disguised as a peas ant, and climbed the mountain n-ar the town, from the top of which, with the aid of a strong telescope he was able to see inside the harbor of Preve sa and to distinguish the Turkish tor pedoboat flotilla there. Captain Blscaretti later ordered his destroyers to open fire against the Turkish torpedo-boats at five miles. The shots caused a panic among the Turkish crews, who threw themselves Into the sea. Meanwhile the Italian commander expected an attack from the fortifica tions of Prevesa. but they kept silent. He feared a trap and ordered the Arti gllere to remain stationary while the Coraxxlere inspected the port. Captain Blscaretti himself com manded the Corazxiere. which cautious ly approached under the batteries, but these gave no signal of life. The Co raxxlere entered the harbor and cap tured a Turkish yacht. Sailors from the wrecked torpedo-boats, having reached the docks by this time, gave the alarm. The destroyer took the yacht In tow and was starting out of the harbor when the sailors from shore Don'tWear Glasses before you have had it proved to your satisfaction that your troubles will be removed by their use.

Speaking today before the Detroit Board of Cemmerce on the topic, "It Is .the Function of the Law to Define and Punish Wrong doing, and Not to Throttle Business,' George W.

"The Democratic party," he contin ued, "at the same time, among other things, declared for a policy that would prohibit the control by a manufaetur lng or trading .corporation engaged In Interstate commerce of more than 50 per cent of the total amount of any product consumed in the United States. "The people voted on the issues sub mitted and, by a plurality of over a million and a quarter votes, returned the Republican party to power in both the legislative and executive branches. "However," he continued, "nothing at all was done.
