The possibility of developing in the ar East a market from which the United States might draw a large supply of suitable raw silk is sub- mitted by Consul General G. B. Dayndal, Constantinople, as worthy || of the serious consideration of Amer- {can silk manufacturers, Greece, Turkey, Syria, the Caucasus, Persia, and Turkestan are believed to be capable of extraordinary deyelop- ment as sources of raw silk.
