Combination OnuM by tlto Low IticrH and Competition. Consul Felix S. 8. Johnson, of Ber gen, reports that a meeting of the Norwegian sardine packers was re cently held at Stavenger to regulate prices, out put and the number of es tablishments, with the following results: It was agreed that no fish should be packed during the months of Feb ruary, March and April, a violation of which, should be paid by a fine of 5,000 crowns (crown equals 6 8 cents); that a uniform price should be maintained for the purchase of fish and that the present munufuc factories in any other place or places. Stavanger, the first place In Norway where sardines were packed, today lias fifteen establishments. Some years ago a factory was estab lished at Bergen, and now the city has five: several factories were also put in at Haugesund. Purlng the past season complaint has been general of overproduction, low prices, excessive number of fac tories, which, with the financial crisis in the United States, has made profits small and has obliged packers to form a union or trust for their future wel fare. While during the past year the ex port of sardines from France to the United States has decreased, the ex port of this article from Norway has Increased from a few thousand dollars some 10 years ago to $600,000 In 1907 and it is a matter of only a few years until the Norwegian output will equal that of any other European country. Large quantities of Norwegian sar dines have been sent to France. Experiments are shortly to be made at Bergen of putting up sardines as they are packed at Bordeaux(, Instead of smoked. Whether this venture will be a success or not Is to be determined. SEWING MACHINES IX TASMANIA. Successful Selling Methods of an American Company. Consul Henry D. Baker of Hobart, has been Impressed with the success ful exploitation of American sewing machines In that Australian Island, concerning which he writes: The Hobart agency of one Ameri can company has been selling an average of 30 sewing machines a week. It has 17 traveling men who visit the smaller towns of Tasmania and explain directly to possible buy- era all the particular advantages of this American machine. These trav eling men are natives of Tasmania who have been carefully selected and trained. The results are satisfactory and in the future are likely to be still more so, as the new Australian tariff act takes off the 10 per cent duty on sewing machines. The canvassers are not permitted to handle any other ar ticle, in marked contrast to the pol icy pursued by most American manu facturers in seeking to sell goods in Australia, through general agents at Melbourne and Sylney who are agents for many other articles, some of which compete with those of their own manufacture.
