"Aids to Shippers" (copyright, 1908), received with the com- 

 pliments of Messrs. Oelrichs & Co., of New York, is designed 

 to be of value to all who are interested in the export and import 

 trade. There is a variety of information, including tables of 

 American money compared with foreign, and also comparative 

 tables of weights and measures, equally useful to business men 

 whether in foreign trade or not.

RUBBER CLOTHING IN COLOMBIA. 



THE market for waterproof garments in Colombia is reported 

 good by the United States consul general at Bogota, on 

 account of the fact that so much travel must be done on horse- 

 back and heavy tropical rains are so frequent. The importation 

 of ponchos at Barranquilla alone is about 16,500 pounds in a 

 year, mostly from Great Britain. 



Two illustrations herewith, from photographs received recently 

 from Colombia, will give an idea of some of the waterproof goods 

 for which a demand exists. The first shows a poncho, worn by a 

 man on horseback, which is quite like the rnodel used in the 

 American cavalry; "light weights" are preferred. 



The second picture shows a garment which the natives wear to 

 protect their legs from cold and rain while riding — long, loose, 

 over trousers made of leather of skins, or of heavy "mackintosh 

 stuff." These "zamarres" are cut very large and of nearly even 

 width in the legs, the latter being hung independent of each other 

 on a belt. They are sufficiently long and large enough to cover 

 and protect the feet of the riders when mounted. 



The following firms in Bogota are mentioned as merchants who 

 handle waterproof goods more or less : Luis Vargas & Co., Abello 

 Hermanos, Restrepo Hermanos, Echeverri Hermanos, Quijano 

 Wallis & Co., William Droescher, R. Cueto & Ca.
