For some time pas, negotiations have been pending

America and the Gormanic Union Of Customs We
learn, upon good authority, that these negotiations
have been brought to close, ard hat treaty has
been actually signed by the Prussisn Government
and Mi. Wheaton, the American Minister at this

ducc the present duties on tobacco and rice imported
into Germany from tue United States and, on the
other hand, TO afford facilities for the introduction into
the United States of several branches OF German
manufactures foi American consumption.

rsth,d by the American Lrgisa ure bot as il
stands, Mt Wheaton has gained march upon all the
other Governments who have attempted TO treat with
Germany in commercial matters.
