From 1906 to 1909 he was mayor of the city, accom- plishing many reforms. Mr, Guthrie was graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1866. In 1869 he was admitted to the Alle- gheny County ‘bar. Entering 'actively into legal practice, he also took a great interest in politics, and was, in 1876, associate counsel for the Tilden electors before the Florida returning board.

Supplant- ing Other Brands \(m fl hl “Heral) ave failen off, on’ Par Eastern markets for American hardwaré issued today by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the Department of Commerce. The bulk of the native population Has in the past managed to get along with ‘the ‘rather jprimitive articles madd in ine, but there has been a growing ‘demand for western devices, and the total imports have in recent years amounted to millions, owing principal- Iyto the gradual moflerniuuon of the 1drger cities. - P to' the time the war broke out Anerican manufacturers, the report stites, were not getting their share ‘#Ne business. The'war has had two one an increased demand for goods, the other a ' great stimulation of domestic manufacture. The ‘increased demand for American g00ds will result in permanently ‘in- creased business if American houses i nmko a good impression while on trial, The author of the repart, Commercial Attache Julean Arnold, .voices ' the opinion that some few firms are ‘ex- ploiting that market for all it/is worth and . hurting - future ~ pros] for | themselves . ‘and’ for: other American houses. | 'The increased domestic man- ufacture will for the present affect only' the simplest articles, although as China’s ‘resources aredevéloped -and | her lpd 8 improved it is to be ex- that the range of- hardware -rtlclu. made at home will broaden. In'a general way, however, markets for forelgn manufactures Wil expand | as modernization spreads. [ American Prices High. ‘l’lm report discusses in detail for ‘each hardware lne. the In heavy hardware, such as iron and steel bars, sheets, plates, tubés, fit- tings, bolts, nuts and nails. The /Chinese have tried those lines from | the United States and are satisfied Wwith them under present conditions, | but prices will have to be lower to compete with British makes after the war. ° There is an excellent apportu- nity for brass sheets, but ' American manufacturers refuse to deliver the large size demanded. American mak- ers of brass valves have made great inroads into'the market, chiefly be- cause of the light-weight patterns they supply. America has taken Ger- many’s place in supplying ‘barbed | wire, and some dealers'feel that the Iowa pattern has become so popular that it will hold part of the market in spite of the German advance in price. English and German iron buckets with flat handles are preferred to the American bucket with a bale. American galvanized pipes have been found superior to European makes, American tools are much too good for the Shanghal market as English and German makers have for years held the trade by supplying second or third grade articles at very low prices. The Chinese prefer - English files to the American makes. ' Pipe cutters from the United States are sell- ing well now and are preferred to the European makes. One Ametican firm | has a monopoly of the trade in scoop shavels. = European wrenches still hold their own on a strictly Drice basis. During the epidemic.of queue cutting thousands of hair cllpnen were imported from German; ng- land and Japan, but a Ohlnm flrm has stepped in with a &o0od low-priced c“lpt’" and now has the market to it- self. American pocketknives are un- known to the natives, as the medium grades come from Pngland and the cheaper grades from Japan and Ger- many. 'The native ‘barbers all use Chinese razors, which are big, clumsy affairs made' from flles by the local blacksmiths. ' They sell for five cents. Foreign razors have a fair sale and there -are many imitation American razors on the market. American £hears came in during the period of fi:‘f cutting and are liked for their s] Electrfcal Supplies Finding Favor. Agricultural implements are mostly primitive affairs made locally, Elec- trical supplies are now. being used to a_small extent, and the Japanese are furnishing some goods at prices : Eny and American rig 304 ~German - makes, I “scales, "in pattern 'similar re made loeally at low cost. ' ‘The “Chinese ‘' Housewife takes no chances when marketing and carries her own scales to verify the dealers’ weights. . ‘W1 ile a Chinese.house needs noth- ing but fittings made by the nearest blacksmith, there is a growing de- mand in large cities like Shanghal, Peking, and Tientsin for high-class lines of doer handles, door plates, and electrical fixtures and finding. Practi- caliy all ‘of- these. are. furnished by tha United States, chiefly because the comrpanies -building the new houses ars composed mostly of Americans. Ar erican_locks are rapidly driving the ‘Furopean makes out of the market and at least four companies ars actively competing for the busi- ness: The American lock is liked for its small eize and neat. proportions. The markets for.many -other lines of hardware .are covered by the re- port, not only in" Shanghai, but in Narth China and Korea.
