Consul-General Mason at Frankfort. Ger
many, Calls Attention to the OpPortu
nifty Afforded America in Marketing Her
Surplus Breadstufs by the Deficient Har
vests of Europe and the Consequent EN-
HANGED Demand.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Consul-Gen-
eral Mason, of Frankfort, in a report
to the state department on what he
terms the German crisis in breadstuffs,
presents some very interesting state
ments respecting the most notable COM
mercial event of the year in Europe
the Russian decree forbidding the eX-
portation of rye from Russia to any
foreign country. This Mr.. Mason re-
CARDS as equivalent to an official decla-
ton that the harvests of cereals
in Russia are so deficient that the
export of rye must be forbid
den in order to avert danger of famine
there. Mr.. Mason presents some data
which shows how seriously this unex-
pected edict is likely to affect the bread
supply of Germany. Very little pure
wheat bread. he says, is eaten by the
middle and lower classes in Germany.
The ''staff of life of vast majority
of the Germans is black bread, made
with flour ground from mixture OF
rye and an inferior quality of wheat.
The consumption of this material is SO
enormous that Germany imported 947,-
S75 tons of rye, of which SIS per cent.
as well as IS per cent. of wheat I'M
ported into Germany came from Rus
STA. The recent edict therefore cuts or
nearly five-siXths of the entire foreign
rye supply of Germany.
How difficult it would be to fill this
deficit by importations from other
countries, Mr.. Mason says, will be evil
dent from the fact that the entire ex-
port of rye to Germany. from 1884 to-
1888 from the six countries, which rank
next to Russia as producers of cereals,
averaged but 6, 142, 331 bushels a year.
This is barely one-fourth of the rye ex-
portation to Germany from Russia last
year.
Mr. Mason thinks it doubtful, in view
of the short cereal crops which prevail
this summer, more or less uniformly
throughout Europe, whether France,
Roumania or Servia will have any con-
siderable surplus of rye for export.
The deficit in Germany, therefore, can
not be filled from any known source of
supply on that side of the Atlantic, and
the effect of the situation upon the rye
market has been startling. A year ago
rye sold in Berlin for $50 per ton of
2,240 pounds. On the Sd of August last
the effect of the meager harvest had
raised the market price to 1924 per ton.
Then came the Russian edict, and within
two weeks the price had risen to SOL. SO
per ton. Add to this a short and in
ferior potato crop throughout nearly
the whole of Germany, and it will be
seen,. Mr.. Mason says, that the food
question there has assumed an ominous
aspect, and in the end the people of
Germany, France and England will
have to draw upon the well-filled gran
cries of the United States for large
part of their food supply during the
coming year.
