ACCORDING to the report of our Consul ut
Hamburg the condition of the labor market in
that section of Germany is far from encourag-
ing. The cost of living has enormously in
creased since the war. while wages have not
advanced in anything like the same proportion.
The reports from the Bordeaux district in
France are, on the other hand, excellent.
Wages are fair and the workingmen, by thrift
and industry, are comparatively prosperous.
