IINIVERSITY OF OREGON 



SCHOOL OF COMMERCF- 



Portland, Oregon, January 6, 1915. 

 Editor Better Fruit: 



I am sending you today, under separate 

 cover, a copy of Tlie Tiinbernian for Decem- 

 ber, in which you will find a portiiui of the 

 survey which the School of Commerce of the 

 L'niversity of Oregon is making in the matter 

 of markets for box shooks. We have almost 

 completed a worUPs survey on this line and 

 the remainder of the survey will be published 

 later in The Timbernian. 



We have discovered a very extensive market 

 for Ibis class of material Ihronghout the world, 

 and now that the Panama Canal is open there 

 is no doubt but that the Northwest will be 

 able to secure a very large proportion of this 

 trade. You w ill observe that we have also dis- 

 discovered in this survey an excellent oppor- 

 tunity for markets for barrel stock in a great 

 variety of uses. The publication in The Tini- 

 berman docs not include every feature of the 

 rc'porls which wc have gathered. We are 

 banding all of this material over to the North- 

 west Association of Box Manufacturers for 

 their use. The method of our invcstigaliim, 

 by which we are' ascertaining the complete 

 quantity of box shooks imported into each 

 consular district, the uses to which the boxes 

 arc applied, the character of the malerial out 

 of which they are made, the countries from 

 which they are iinporled. the details of sizes, 

 material and cost, is of such a praclical and 



useful nature that the manufacturers here will 

 be able to see at a glance whether or not the 

 field is inviting to them. This survey, when 

 complete, will be of value to the box manu- 

 facturers for several years to come. 



We are also making a survey of the markets 

 for other products, especially in South Ameri- 

 can countries, that Oregon is prepared to ex- 

 port in large quantities. I hope to be able 

 soon to place before the producers of the 

 Northwest a lot of detailed information con- 

 cerning the possibilities of trade in Oregon 

 products with these South American countries. 

 In a communicalion received this morning 

 from the consul at Venezuela be says: 



"In the list forwarded with your letter of 

 November 20th there are some articles of 

 Pacific Coast production now imported from 

 New York, others now produced in other parts 

 of the United States which might be better 

 furnished from the Pacific Coast if direct 

 steamer s?rvice existed, and others now im- 

 ported from Europe which might be replaced 

 by American goods were transportation and 

 other costs lessened and terms as favorable. 

 In this class arc canned salmon and fresh 

 fruits. A can of good salmon now retails here 

 at forty-five cents, and fresh Oregon apples 

 from 111 to l.'j cents each. Any reiluction in 

 the cost to the consumer would iinmensely 

 increase the consumption of these articles. 

 Lumber, print paper, flour, biscuit, lard and 

 smoked meals from Ihc Paciflc Coast are 

 likely to lind a good market here. Preserves, 

 canned fruits, vinegar and pickles, dried 

 prunes, condensed milk, bullcr, cheese, tallow 

 and hops also could be marketed here to ail- 

 vantage. Prunes, however, are imported here 

 now in glass jars or screw-top tins, butter in 

 one, two and five-pound tins." 



The consul also says that merchants in Vene- 

 zuela ilealing in coffee and cocoa are anxious 

 to have direct connections with Ihe Pacilic 

 Coast in the nintler of trade. So wc have 

 every reason to feel very much encouraged as 

 lo the developmeni of trade with foreign coun- 

 tries as the result of the commercial and in- 

 dustrial survey. Very truly yours, 



H. n. Miller, 

 Director of Ibe School of Couimcrce, Univer- 

 sity of Oregon.
