France tliird with 7,765, and only 218 tons were purchased from the United States. As the last named was accorded a fiscal preference amonnt- ing to 20 per cent in January, 1610, the trade figures since that date may show a gain for her producers over other competitors. In pulverized form the duty is 20 reis per kilo with a rebate of 10 per cent when in barrels. It will bo notetl fhat .">i> per I'ent of the duty is payable in gold, which brings it up roujrhly to about one cent per kilo, or say ^ of a cent per pound. Owiiif: to the immense growth of the I'ement mnnufacturiiiK industry in Panada in reeent year.-^. it would appear that a time nnist come when some of the companies would commence to look about for a new outlet for their produce, but that does not seem to have arrived yet. Still it ought not to be bad business to prepare for the future, and South America presents a suitable field in whieh to nnbark in the export trade. I.RATURR, BOOTS AND «HOES.

The reason for this heavy tas is that sole leather is niatiufai'tiiri>d in the country, and by the policy pursued, outside competition is overwhelmingly handicapped by the impost.

Rut it has also b.-en statfij that ploughs are now coming into more Reneral use for tilling the pround on the larger estates. However, the hope of a large future trade in agricultural implements and machinery lies in the south and southern niiddle part of the Republic, wIk re it is said, there is an immense amount of splendid land suitable for agriculture and stock raising only awaiting settlonent To arrive at the purchasing power of agricuhan) machinery which this new land may posiMs in the fature, it would be well to remember tiiat up to comparatiTely reewit timet, Argentina was still importing foodstuffs, although to-day it is one of the greatest producers in the world of wheat, mair«, and flax, and this in spite of the fact that a great part of the producing area remains untouched. It is well to consider these thinirs in advance, and make arrangements quietly for possible events, even if these may be years ahead. It is vastly important to be early in a new field. In connection with this -subject, it may be mentioned here, that a large and financially' very strong firm of importers and commission nierchantg. who have a view to the future, arc williiig to enter into correspondence on the ^uh.iect of the establishment of a trade on sotmd lines, If this be warranted by the outlook. It is unlikely that Rio would ever be the centre of a big ii.iplement business — the presumption i.s that this would incline towards the south, to the States of Sao Paulo or Rio Grande do Sul. It would require a large quantity of machinery for Brazil even to supply itself with foodstuffs and fodder. At present she is importing these heavily, as will be veri- fied at a glance at Schedute B, wheat alone mouatiiig to S0t000,000 busheb dniing the two years ending 1909. As far as can be learned, no attempt has been made or is contemplated to manu- tucture agricultural implonente or raadiinery locally. The duty on machines is not stated mplicitly, but ft eonld hardly be more than IB per cent ad valorem ; ploughs and ploughing machines erase ia ftee. HOES. Hoes are not classed separate ly, luit are nn doubt included under ' Tools and other Uteiisils.' It can be taken as a certainty that there i.« a considerable importa- tion of this class of implements for use in coffee culture. The Dominion should be abie to compete in this article in any part ot the world, and through the trade inquiries' column, an opportunity is presented to (commence a Brazilian trade. niDUSTBUt MAORIxnT.

The spades and shovels in tse are of the cheap variety, and consequently there u little demand for those that l annot comply with this condition, no matter how weU worth a high price tluy may be. They are principally u'od un contract work, when the work and treatment are rouiih, particularly the hv ?r, so much so that it W ■liiinied that the liifjh clnss shovel hivs a life but little ionger than the cheap one, and thus does not justify its purchase. The hammers, files, saws. an,l a.xes are those usually met with in any part of the world, that is, the product of certain makers, -lenerally British or T'nited States, who have practically erected a standard. The I'nited States seem to have been most gu«!essfnl, one reason being the quality of the tool, but the root of the success achieved lies more in the sdling m^wd of the makers. Hoes are mentioned nnder agriealtBra] implements, and present an opportunity for quite a good trade. Tools are not made in the country. The duty is relatively low, 100 reis per kilo, or woriwd on* about 2* cenU per pound. There is practically no deuuiud for woven wire fencing.

Sonic two or tim e yoais a;io. a firm iiiajuifai-tnring dental instruntents in Ontario showed sonic interest in the foreijtn trade. It is more on that account than anything else, that a reference is made to these articles. Tlie I'liited States. (Jermnny and France pretty well divide the trade in surRical iniitrumeiits. but tlie first named control- it in dental appliances. This is a hopeful •outlook, if there should be a firm in Canada able to take care of any foreign orders. WOOD MAStlFACrrRES. Furniture being au article of national maniifacture, there is little to interest factories in the Dominion. The customs duties are. of cour-e, prohibitive, as will be seen by referriu}; to Scheihde K. containing the tariff. The imports, the figures of which appear in the various schedules, are said to be principally for the finer classes of furniture of European manufacture. The United States show sales of 669,122 niilreis in 1908, but only 246,910 milreis in the following annnal period. If the freights be deducted from tbese amounts, the remaining figures are not important. One can assume with fair certainty that these impc-rtations con- sisted of school furniture and refrigerators. Since 1906 the United States have enjoyed a preference on the latter article, and sinee 1910 on the Itmner, amounting to 20 per cent in l)otli oases. The ordinary bouse furniture i- loade locally, -■■lui- of it from ban! uativo wooil aiul pro!,al>ty a j;nod ib al friiin pitcli piuc, wbicli is l.roiiL'bf in the rou^b state from the irulf.

For longer ones th« duties are still liiRher. Office desks of pood quality are made locally from a native bard wood, which stands the clinuilc aiij aUo the attacks of the ants which arc ubif|uitous. Business men apparently prefer the domestically-made article. Thi.s is jnst as well, as the tariff would effectually crush any popularity that foreign-made desks might have won. A reference is made elsewhere to steel office furniture, which all things con- sidered must be the most suitable and most satisfactory for use in the tropies.

Your Commissioner remembers some samples that were sent to liim at Durban from Can- ada, which were of an excellent (piality, but not able to compete against the quill ones that were in vosne in South .\friea. If this rcfercnre should meet the eye of the manufacturer who sent them, he might with advantage make an attempt to gain a footing in South America. IT BMOMB AND MCSHCS.

As white clothes are used in a great part of Brazil the year round, the«s is ag a con- sequence an equal demand the year round for the commodity. The greater part ot the imported starch comes from the Unitecl Kingdom and Germany.^ Boot polish in pomatum form pay-' a duty of 800 reis per kilo, which glTM rougniy 15 cents per pound. Starch pays 300 reis per kilo, which works out KWghly at 5? centa a ponnd. PKartTUERna. As might be expected. France supplies the irv. ater pro|orti..n c,f peifumrry. The United States do a fair amount of trade and it is more than likely w.ll continue to improve, especially in toilet watets. PAINT AND VARMSII. It is singular that the United SUtes with a fiscal preference of :>0 per cent in paints and varnish has made so small use of this immense advantage. Of a total importation of prepared paint in 1909, amounting to 1,342,436 milreis, they were only able to do 221.210 milreis. whilst Great Britain sold four times as much, ^ow that the paint manufacturing industry is becoming important in the Dominion, toe trade here might be of interest if it were not for the heavy preference acscorded to the United States. If with this pref.rinee thr I-nited States factories cannot overcome British <-ompctition, there is little hup.- for i'anaainn tuakers. It may be that the United States have advanced in this class of merchandise during the last two years, but it is not possible to tost the statement. One sees their paints on sale, one larRc WtabUshment in Rio having a window full of the paints, varnishes and enamels ot one of ti» beat known firms in the world, whosa headquarters are in the I nited States. 27874-3 KLTBIO.

No other kind of belting is mentioned in the trade reports, whieh leads one to suppose that any business that there may be in balata beltiog is not large. One fMtory in Oran^ do Snl manufactures leather behing. There may be one or two oUien, but as already stated elsewhere, it is most difficult to obtain data rwrdinff the BiannfacturiBs industry as a whole. The customs' duty on leather belting is 2.400 reis per kilo or roughly, 48 cents per pound. PCtLEYS. AhhoiiRh not mentioned in the trade returns, there must be some business in pulleys, a very (tood indication of this lieinff the sales of beltinfr mentioned above. In the tariff the duty is shown at "00 reis iier kilu, witluMit siiei if.\ intr wln tlic r nf wood or iron. It may apply to both, or the tariff in this regard may be incomplete. The dutj' at this rate w ould work out at about 3S oenta per pound, whi^ would teeuK unduly hifrh for wooden pulleys. This report includes a trade in(piiry, so that it will he possible to test the market, or at least gain an idea if the split wood pulley in which Canada is strong can com- pete in the market. CXT.CIUM fARBIDK. The only i-lieniii nl jiroduct of interest to Canadian producers is calcium carbide, of which the inlportation^ were 4.227 metric ton- in 1909. Calcium carbide was not -lidwn -epariitcly in the returns prior to 1005. There was k notable improvement in ihe inijiorts for 1007, the figures lieing nearly double of Ae prcvions year, Itia^iinite likely that when issued, the figures for the last two years will show an advance. Norway is the largest supplier of the commodity, the aggressive methods of a • I ,)in vety well known firm being responsible for the trade. The Fnited States, France and Sweden, all share in the sales to Brajiil, and several other countries including Canada have unimportant portions.

It is entirely a matter of price, quality and packing. In these it has seemetl to be almost impossible for Canadian packers to compete with British firms — at least up to the present. One or two trade inquiries accompany ibis report. There is little chance for success unless shippers are w illing to pack as requested by the importer, and if necessary his directions must be followed in the preparation of the meat, where only a trifling amount of trouble is involved. Canadian cheddar cheese of the milder kind should be able to compete in this market. It might, however, be necessary to put them in smaller size* than 68 pounds. As a. matter of fact, this would probably assist the sale of Canadian cheeses in other parts I'f the worlil. where a very large one is unsuitable for the smaller stores.
