ENGLISH STRING GOODS TRADE.
The McKenna duties on musical instruments im-
ported into England will affect the stringed instru-
ment retail trade there. By far the greater bulk of
violins and 'cellos, etc., sold there are, or have been,
imported from Czecho-Slovakia, and until the pro-
ducers of stringed goods in England organize as an
industry, in the same way that the gramophone
manufacturers have combined, so long will the
foreign-made instruments monopolize the market.
According to the London Music Trades Review,
"there is a rapidly growing volume of business in
stringed goods, and with the 33^ per cent now to be
reimposed, English makers should be able profitably
to turn their attention to increasing production."
MAHOGANY FROM BRAZIL.
Mahogany and other hardwoods in unlimited quan-
tity can be furnished the United States by Brazil,
according to J. C. Munoz, acting consul general of
that country, who recently called attention to mil-
lions of acres of fine woods, easily accessible to the
coast and foreign markets. The most important of
these two districts as an eventual source of supply for
the American markets is the Amazon River Valley,
in the northern part of the country," Mr. Munoz
says. "The Amazon River, with its gigantic tribu-
taries, forms a wonderful system of waterways
