"Commerce and Commercial Pro spects In the Philippines" la the sub )ect of a discussion in Ihe Moniteur OflU'iel du Commerce, an ofllcial pub lication ol the French Government which has Just reached Ihe Treasury Bureau of Hialisticls. It calls atteu. lion of those interested in the foreign commerce or France to the fact that American commerce iu the Orient is making rapid developments, and especially so through the foothold which it has obtained at Manila. The statement is as follows: "The export houses or Manila are about resuming their business activ ity and responding to the demands lor suger, abaca, copra, tobacco, etc., which they had been unable to satis fy during the whole ol the past year- "The import trade underwent im portant changes by reason or the oc cupation or the Philippines by Ihe United States, Ibis change by no means yet ling complete.

The business men of this city, after a few months of observation, became convinced that in order to hold their own against the American competitor, they would have to replenish part or their stock or trade with American goods, so that now one can see In all the stores of Manila beside tho foreign goods formerly imported, also a number of articles which Ihe Atuei ' ' a4f : : : - ' :i ' ' ''mm- It ' ' 1-4'' C-"": ' l Long.

"The coni'titlon on the part of American prislucl is bound to be come more formidable Ihe more Americans will become settled in this colony, and even now old Mani la business houses send orders lo American manufacturers, who have acquainted them with their terms of doing business, ever since August, I89H, either through detailed catalo gues or more often through active and Intelligent agents. "It is quite difficult to state I fore hand at the present lime which for eign products will win the favor of the public in Manila and the pro vinces or the arcl.lelagos, for Ihe American part of the population Is at present made up principally of soldiers and officers' families, the rest or the American colony in this city is quite small, though constantly growing in number, mainly civilians who visit the country and study the chances or its exploitation. The great capitalists, manufacturers and busi ness men of the Union, howtvr, have not yet made their spaarance on the ground, neither are they like ly to as long a tranquility is not restored in all parts of these Islands.

During the year complaints about careless packing, resulting hi d.-uusge lo the goods, have lwen of surh fre quent occurrence that they may prove even hurtful to the iaixrt lion or our good. The merclmut or Manila are led to compare method and to acknowledge that all good shipped from Hie united Stales are packet! with such care that dnmage to and deterioration of the goods due to bad ai king are exceedingly rare om: of TiirTlMirvruiAi.s. The stoppage of many of the mill controlled by the American Steel anil Wire Company ha not been wholly unexpected. Those who have ot served the relations between cit of material and price charged by this company for Its products nini-e Jan have frequently been led to the con clusion that, unless it was intended to rely fur earnings and divideiu'e uisin "scooping" the Street and the investing1 public, the policy of the company might be found mistaken The highest price lat year or Ihir for steel billets was reached on Nov ember 1, when (39 50 was quoted at Pittsburg, but only 12 has recently been paid there- Beeseiner pig reached 125 on Nitvenilier 21), and though the association has been hold ing Ihe Pittsburg quotation at (21 90 Eastern Bessemer has been sold there considerably lower.

With Iowit prices charg- a. ed f-ir its products the company might have greatly increased their sale, and overproduction In this case really means an output larger than ha been sold at the prices demanded, In its foreign business tha company has not chiawn to pursue the aame isilicy. It has neatly increased its exports, and the February export price for smooth wlra was only 2 8 ceuts, against 3 05 cents charged at works by the carload, and for nails only 2 6 cents, against 3 20 cents charged here. The figures suffice to show thai lower prices than those charged yield a sufficient profit lor export, a Ihe am nal leport also shows.

But theie are many thousand men out of work lo day because this com pany has chosen to charge prices so high tha, according to it president it ibs nut sell Us whole ptoduct even with Ihe aid of lower prices abroad and an increasing demand for nails. In the Pittsburg region alone there are said to be twenty-live hundred thrown out of employment by the stoppage or works or this company It can be easily understood that the men who And themselves In this pos it Son may have bitter feelings toward the Steel and Wire company and to- ward Industrial companies generally The directors can hardly wish this, whatever the object of their course may be, Ixmbtless thry desire pub 'ic prosperity, and do ivt wish lo en tourage the idea that the company is managed with more care for specula tion in its stock than for the good ol the country, the lasting prosperity of business or the wel I being of the mul i itude it employees, ir so, they may with reason consider whether It better to change their policy or to make known tin Ir reasons for It.
