Chamberlain writes that though the United States sold to the Brazilian port of Pernam buco during 1S07 over $1. 250,000 worth of goods, only about a dozen Amf-rican commercial travelers vis ited the port during the year, eight of them calling at the' consulate. The consul thus reviews trade-getting methods: It Feems impossible to convince American firms who are try to enter the export market of the importance of good travelers as it is to persuade them to pack merchandise with due reference to the distance it has to travel and to the mode of transporta tion. Travelers can not be had for noth ing. The cheap ones invariably turn out to be very expensive and often nermanently ruin a market for the careless firm that employs them Three glaring examples have come dl rectly under my notice during the last eighteen months. Two of the three representatives in question had evidently been employ ed on the sole consideration of a speaking knowledge of Spanish. Their ideas of business methods in general were hazy, and they were absolute ly ignorant of the simplest formulas of foreign trade. To my surprise they all represented firms well known throughout the United States. The first of the three came out on an arrangement by which he was to receive $4000, the first $1000 in New York, the next at Buenos Aires, the next at Valparaiso, etc. He spent 1700 on his outfit and passage from New York to Pernambuco, and, never having heard of a letter of credit, express checks, draft payable to self, or even a money belt, bought three 1100 notes and put them away in a cardboard box in his steamer trunk, which was frequently left open -during the voyage. After landing at Pernambuco he discovered -that he was penniless, and then began a comedy of errors which lasted for months. He cabled for money; the firm sent $100 to the These three cases contain several lessons to firms and travelers alike. Inexperienced house3 who wish to es tablish or Increase their trade in Bra zil should give the following consider ations their careful attention: There Is an abundance of trade i here always, and that It is worth go ; Ing after can easily be seen by study- telegraph office to be wired.

In the meantime the traveler was in absolute. distress. Not having receiv ed the J 100, he continued to cable on borrowed money. The tangle took eight months to straighten out. The firm lost their original 11000 and the J 100 which they tried to wire to Per nambuco and finally sent there by draft. The traveler lost his credit and reputation and has been practi cally destitute in Kio and Buenos Aires for a year and a half, unable to get home and sure of trouble if he does. All this through sending one wholly Ignorant of specialized work. A Borrowing Tour. The second case was that of an American who arrived at Pernambuco In financial difficulties. He was sent with a fine lot of samples and $1000 to Rio de Janiero. To his great sur prise he had to pay $600 duties on his samples. "He soon exhausted what money he had left and started cab ling for funds. His firm wired or ders on Brazilian banks, always send' Ing about half what their representa. tlve required to meet past obliga tions. He could not remain Idle for two months waiting for proper funds and went ahead, covering all southern Brazil by borrowing from each cus tomer enough to see him to the next town. His firm was well known and he managed to get the money, but with what damage to the credit of his employers can easily be Imagined. He was still borrowing when he ar rived at Pernambuco and told the writer that he owed sums of $50 and $100 as far back as Rio Grande do Bui, which he had left two months before. Another Disaster hemon Learndul The third caw that of an American t who came to grief through being al lowed to stay six months in one place and run up $1000 debt for board and cablegrams before his employers found out that there was something wrong. however, who knows how to do bus iness and keep cheerful Is a far bet ter representative than a linguist who never saw a letter of credit or an order blank. K.xix'nscs Arc High. American firms in arranging (to send a man to do $50,000 worth of business whom they can not trust with a letter of credit for $3000 should not send him. Remember that a man who travels through South America and keeps his expenses down to $10 a day Is doing It cheaply. A bookkeeper on the Amazon gets $500 gold a month and finds it diffi cult to live within that Income. If the representative of a firm Is to e away more than a year, he should give bond. It will steady him and his principals will not be so reluctant to back him up when he needs help In an emergency. Vliv-I'ivslilciii Soliworln of 1'iK'iric Mall Stt'iimlil Mile, Talk of Xtnv (oiulllloiis Now (ViiifiHiiitlng Much to tli Orient .Iains Steamships llaxe the Advantage. On October 1st next the Southern Pacific niid other Harrlman roads and the Santa Fo via this port, the Hill rends via Seattle and the Canadian Pacific via Vancouver, will adopt new export and import rates on transpa clflo shipments, says the San Fran. Cisco Examiner. These rates are to go Into effect on November 1. The new export rates will represent a large advance over the present tariff, while the !m. port rates will also be advanced but not to the same extent as the export rates. Vice-President and General Manag er R. P. Schwerlu of tho Pacific Mall said yesterday that In his opinion tho Pacific Mall, the Hill and tho Em press lines will bo so handicapped by these new rates In competition with the steamers via Suez as to practical ly force them out of transpacific freight traffic. Because of their large annual gold subsidies from the Japanese govern, ment, Mr. Schwerln says In his opin ion the Toyo Klsen Walsha company at this port and the Nippon Yusen Kalsha company at Seattle, will be able to remain In the business in spits of the advanced railroad rates and compete with the Suez lines. When asked if there was a deal on to sell out the Taclflc Mail to tho Jap. anese or other people, he said: "I do not know of any such deal. I don't see", said Vice-President Schwerln, "how tho steamer lines nt San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver are going to exist under these new rates of tho railroads. We have got to compete with Suez and If we can't make rates to meet it we will simply have to get out of the business. "Curios, matting, tea, raw silk, earthenware and firecrackers make up the bulk of our Imports from the Orient. These shipments annually via San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver run up Into the millions. In view of the new -import rates of the railroads I cannot figure out how the steamer lines on this coast are going to re tain this business. It will be left to the Japanese lines at this port and Seattle and the Suez lines to fight for the bulk of it. "Machinery, cotton, beer and con densed milk probably constitute th bulk of the exports from the eastern section of this country to the Orient. The Suez lines already take a large amount of these articles and they will probably take them all when the new export rates of the railroads go Into effect." Flour and lumber shipments from. this coast to the Orient are, of course not affected. 8tatt of Oblo, City of Toledo, Lncas Conn tr, m. Frank J.

The hot air we are about to give you sounds like the fetid breath of one Lownsdals of the Webbfoot coun try, says a Hood River paper. However, this wave of passionate heat comes from a sage and flea stricken district of the Umatilla sands. The gas current comes from the Jaw factory ef one Colonel H. '0, Newport, and explodes as follows: "There is no doubt about our hav ing the best irrigation project in the west and the best 20,000 acres of land now being developed in this part of the country. Within five years neither Hood River nor Yakima can hold a candle to us In the matter of producing early strawberries and other fruits and vegetables. And It makes a difference whether you got Into a market along with other sec tions of the country or ten days ear lier. And we will skin them both by that much ot least, one year with another."
