M it Tricks Which Ruin Commerce- Development of Trade with Austria. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, WasniNeron, D. C., June 21.— Consul General Weaver, at Vienna, furnishes the State Department with a valuable paper on the introduction of American products and manu- facturers into Austria-Hungary, and, at the same time, gives a very valu- able warning to American manu- facturers, He shows that honesty is most certainly the best policy in the export trade; and that an aftempt to malke large amounts of money on one invoice by petty swindles rencts severely against the entire American trade. = Despite all tricks, however, and also not withstanding the severe protective tariff, the import trade from the United States to Austria is very rapidly increasine. Consul- General Weaver says: Duving the past year, a firm, in whom T had sufticient confidence to give a letter of recommendation to our American merchants, sent a represen- tative to the United States to estab- lish business connection with manu- facturing and exporting houses. Among other articles it was believed that rubber hoss might find a large large sale in this country for many purposes, but particularly for the wine industry. nsequently business connections with a leading New York York tirm were established, and sam- ples sent, which, with slight altera- tions, met the wants of the trade, Flattering commencements were made, orders came in rapidly, and it was confidently believed that in this sin- le article alone the sales for the first year would reach $100,000. Trial or- ders were secured amounting to over £4,000, and the specification stated particularly the walls of the hose should not be less than five centime- ters. The goods arrived in due time apparently in fino condition, but on further examination it was found that the five-centimeter walls of the hose did not extend throughout the pioce, but after continuing for a yard from each end fell off to three centimoters, As a result the entire lot was refused and sent back to the agents, the trick characterized as A SLOVENLY AMERICAN FRAUD, and probably the trade injured for many a day to come. The attention of the manufacturors being called to the impropriety and_ effect of such transaction, they coolly replied that secing the charac,er of their manufac- ture did not suit the Austrian mar- kets they had concluded to withdraw thewr goods, and consequently gave or- ders that all stock on hand should be returned to Now York. Thus, through this deliberate act of bad faith, or a misapprehension of instructions, or a censurable lack of care, difficult to explain in any satisfactory manner whatever, ended suddenly and dishon- orably what certainly wonld have de- veloped into a profitable business, But the injury ‘did not stop there; confidence had been weakened, suspi- cions and prejudices have been ed, which to neutralize and will require a long period of patient effort and honorable dealings, {. But Towever heavily handicapped our products and manufactures may be on the Austrian market by national jealousies and prejudices, by protect- ive duties and formalities, as well as hort-sighted or time-serving mer- chants, or their agents, who prefer an immediate insignifi to procure it they must resort to ques tionable tricks in trade that may de- stroy a Iufiu future profitable busi ness —yet there can be scarcely a doubt that the present import trade from the Uuited Statesto this country nevertheless, and in apite of theso drawbacks, constantly and rapidly increasing, and that eventually certain additional classes of our manufactures which are as yet strangers to or but little known upon these markets may b.‘ufwfi""bll introduced. Their in- troduction, however, cannot fail to in- cite the deep-rooted feeling of oppo- e thoueand counts no loss, | remove | It gain, even if | LY BEE: lsition over mditeted, 'hot onty by ’lhr producers, but likewise, although [ to aloss degree, by the consumers of this country OFFOSITION TO AMERICAN 1 RODUCTS, | " This opposition takes on vations forms, and rescrts to every ginable device in order to secure its end. The usual and most successful plin of eper | ation is to circulate through the pul | lie pross dam reports as to the | charaater of n importations; ing Americs | as, for example, that same authority { professional or official, had <tated that the canned meats and fish wre poison | ons, or that the Ameriean swine pro ducts contain trichinw, fr © con sumption of which people frequently | the local authorities, wmder an un2uq | and unjust prossuro coming from in terested parties with whose trade these Amorican products _come into compe | tition, Tend their official 1ifluence to exact from their central g certain decrees, either preveniing their introduction or so regulating and ham pering the trade that it may become unprofitable. In the question of petr | same object is sought to be obtained | by representing that the importation | of American petrolowm cotes in such | strong competition with their native | petroleum industry in Galicin that it should be required to pay extriording aid in relioving the sorely pressed ox | chequer of the state the project finds many advocates, while in the matter of canned fruits the present entry duty of 86 florins por 100 kilograms sorves as a complete embargo against their introduction, Furthormore, this opposition at times takes the more practicaland pro- bly successful form of opposition by the manufacturers of this country, IMITATING OR COUNTERFEITIN whore the patent laws of the empire will admit of its being succossfully and profitably done, such useful and ble American inventions or ma chines as create for themsclves any considerable demand on this market, as for instance, the sewing machines, certain patterns of metal stoves, small domestic utensils, and the less complicated and most oasily imitated agricultural machinery. But, notwithstanding all the ingenuity and enterprise manifested in this di- rection, generally thv original articles manufactured in the United States are preferred, and give the most satis- factory results. In the case of sow- ing-machines, only the delicte parts are imported from the United States; the heavier or rougher parts, made from iron or wood, are manufactured here, thus saving freight and other ex- penses. But in many instances the machinery of the American articles is 80 delicate, and requires such perfoc- tion of exccution, that they cannot bo successfully imitated here probably owing to the less degree of intelli- gence found 1 the laboring class of this country compared with those of the United States, who, with great skill and success, direct ‘and superin- tend the working of our complicated time and labor saving machinery; con- sequently we find the cheapir and more ordinary clocks, and some watches —but particularly the clocks— arriving and being introduced here by the hundreds of dozens. In the. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT much has been done. Since 1873 hundreds of reapers and mowers have been sent into Hungary; the thrashers usually come from England, but wind- ills, separators, and horse rakes from the United States are generally pre ferred. The seed-drills and corn-plan- ters might be made a success if con sideration taken of the value of land here, and the spaces between the rows or drill were reduced to conform to the exigencies. Instead of having them from three or four fect apart, they should be reduced to two feet But the greatest hindramce against the successful employment of agricul- tural machinery in Hungary is the lack of intelligence, on the part of those who are required to operate them. Accustoméd to handle every heavyand strong machinery, not liable to be broken or digarranged, manipu- lated by such hands, the delicate part parts of the American muchinos are soon renderedl worthless by careless- ness or reugh usage, and as generally they attempt to supply all duplicato pieces from their own native work- shops, it will b readily perceived how soon a valuable machine may become worthless, Another reason why the American roapers are not more gonerally adopt- ed is owing to the opposition of the laboring classes, who, imagining that their interests are affectod injuriously by these machinos, refuse to bind up the grain cut by them, or charge for the fiimlmg alone the same price they would ask for cutting nn(s binding. The combined reaper and binder can- not be used from the requirements of the case, since the grain must be cut low for the value of the straw, which necessitates the cutting off along with the grain a largo quantity of green grass or weeds, which, if bound up at once with the grain, would cause it to heat and injure the quality of the gruin, The disideratun is therefore a separate binder that uses cord or twine, as the millers 8o seriously ob- ject to the picces of wire that are left in the grain that self-Linders employ ing wire are not y A Man in a Millinery Store.

A Daring Prospector Dese- crates It With His Claim | Board. Leadville Chironicle Joln Dixon, the well known pros- pectors, Bohemian and newspaper cor- vespondent, has just returned from a long journey to the Holy Oross, His trip was replete with thrilling inci- dents, but none more fraught with in- terest than his experience in locating claim, literally ‘in the Holy Cross itself. The mountain derives its name as everybody knows, from two gulches or fissures crossing at right angles on its bleak and inaccessiblo face, Dixon had conceived the iden that there was an immense mineral deposit at the summit of the mountain, and formed the project oppressing to the cross it- self and there locating a claim. The undertaking seemod at first full of in- surmountable difliculties. The crof loomed at least a mile and a half be- yond the farthest point to which an prospector had ventured, and lay al- most directly above an almost perpen- dicular precipice. Nevertheless, he started on his perilous journoy alone, and carrying simply his pickax and a fow simple tools and provisions, From the very first he found the way ulmost impassable, Hug country in every direction. These he crossed by lowering himself down one side with ropes, and then often by aid of notches cut in the earth, ascend the oth His progeess was never faster than a slow wilk, and ofttimes |gimply a crawl; After infinito perils, he finally reached the bottom of & long, precipitous incline leading to the win?wd for spot. The cross had upon | near 1.,,.-“;‘.-5. lost all semblance to its appearance at a distance, and seemed nni' two long ragged gulches filled ‘\\ilfl snow. Toward the foot of the lowest of these was the lmin( toward which Dixon pressed. For a time he managed to progress by crawling on | his hands and knees, and then the eliff became so excessively steop that he was obliged to muke @ long detour in order to surmount it. Finally, creep- ling like u fly along a slender crevice | thut barely offered a foothold on the | face of the precipice, he reached the | foot of the cross, and to his joy ob. served the outeroppings of what ap peared to be a fine vein of decom- posed quartz carrying free gold.
