"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. Before
act lug the business inenot the colony
had to study Ihe new conditions un
der which henceforward the impor
tation of foreign manufactures might
be carried on. The Philippine mar
ket received prior to the Spanish
American war, all sorts of art'cles
coming from Eug'and, Spain, France,
Belgium, etc. The United States
whose exports to these islands had
been relatively to very insignificant
importance, have since ttkeu au im
portant place in Ike victualling ol
Mauils, which place Is daily grow
ing in Importance. 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

"The coni'titlon on the part of

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.

turers and business men that wish to'
increase Ihe volume of their business
or mien connections with Manila
merchants. Great tact and akill
hav lo be employed by French
Commerce, particularly in order to
hold Its own against encroachments
on the part of foreign competitors,
who show extraordinary activity, in
winning new markets on the Philip-
pines, calm and pereveriiir in the
case of the Germans, English and
Belgians, noisy and almost brutal in
the case or Ihe American. Prompt
neaa and despatch -in ihe execution of
order and careful packing are recom
mended lo the French exsirter.
During the year complaints about
careless packing, resulting hi d.-uusge
lo the goods, have lwen of surh fre

prove even hurtful to the iaixrt
