1, In. n eooda Far Austria.
Washingtou, D. C 1 thecourf
of at) elaborate report on the K ngo Free
Slats made to the State Department by
United States Coneu, Dorsey MoDan, who
traveled for two years with the Belgian
forcei tliroagh the interior of that coun
try, he says that at Leopoidville, where,
twice a week, three or four tlion&ind na
live bring their products to exchange
them for gunpowder and checked clotb,
thenl; money in use is brass rods, or
"mitnkii which are cut in lengths eight
inches long. At Banana Point the articles
ac4Jr trade with theatives are regular
bandana haodkochiefs. gin, cloth, beads,
machitcs, old silk bats, coloie 1 pa-asols,
cheap knives, flintlock muskets, powder,
bras rods, crockery, tinware, old uniform
coils, old derby hats, rum, cheap watches
and cologne, " -
All these artieh-s are made for the trade,
and the Standard of va'u.' is a piico of
handkerchief 24 feet long ami three feet
brnod and valued at CO cents. When the
trader buys pruducc lie gives out carJa to
the native, which are good lor1 one piete
of handkerchief, and when tlie caravan
hat been honztil out I lie natives come to
the Btora or "fe'Uh" and hand , in their
caids, with which Ihi J can telect what
tbt-j aut to tilt value of the card held.
As a rn'e, they will not touch 'money,
regarding it as useless, and this Is a great
advantage to the trader, who makes large
profits In exchange lor handkerchiefs,
which probably cost biro, landed in the
Kongo, duty paid, twenty: cents apiece.
Tlie same is true at Leopold, Tambinga,
. Ikinil and Lusambo. . . . ' . .
. Food Is ridiculously chea, and a small
egg cup full of blue glass beads, a little
largi r than pin heads, will purchase food
for one man for a week. Coffeo and cot
t in gr.tws wild ana the natives own
good many cattle. A cow can be bought
for one flint-lock goo, valued at 2 .50 on
the coast. 'American sheeting, common
ly known turougbont Central Alrlca, as
'merikanl," goes well in trading.
The dash of Arab la these people makes
them exctedlDglj cltan, in strong con
trast to Congo savages. Mr. Mohun says
that, bile .the Kongo man is satisfied
wiih a strip of Cloth a foul wide coveting
him, one of these people will few all Ins
cloth which lie nctlm in piy tg ther,
and drape lbs wbolo thing over blmseit.
He saw one wan wearing at least 200
yards of clotb and always kept It clean.
At Knesougn, where a great maiket is
hi 1J three times a, week, the money It
'inadiba,"a square ol woven palm fibre,
and with six of these a man can get food
enough to last him a week.. -T'lese
"msdibas" are patched Into gumeuls
and worn until needed as money. "Madi
has' aod iron hoes constitute the money
at Nandive, which is the African salt cen
tre. Eere salt is also used .to purchase
everything, and is practically the stan
dard of value. y : ' : V
Gold and silver are unknown and can
not be forod npon the savages. - ,T be
Kongo State is said to be bankiupt, its
expenditures more than doubling itl re
ceipts from the domestic revenues, the ad'
varices from 'the Belgian Treasury and
King Leopold II making op the deficit.
Bavaria hat gone bicycle trszy, accorl
iog to Consul Carpenter report, and as
(he demand cannot be even partially snp-
plio t by Europen maker," there Is an x
cullent market for American Wheels. The
ntvinjice against ladies appearing on
wheals has altogether disappeared. The
rods are magnlUcent.-.
Consul Ceneral Max Judd, at Vienna,
J - ports that the use of linen for ; collars,
e iui and shirt fronts Is practically un-
a ii in Austria and that the iubstilute
i !, cjilled chiflbo, Is not only cheaper,
' t tisjierior, he describes it as looking
, a s fine linen, and it takes the same
