| BERLIN, July 20.-It is generally hold hero
that tho tariff war that has been started be-
tween Russia and Germany Is moro likely to
cause damage to tho former country than to
the latter. 1t seems that Russia In applying
her maximum tariff on German products was
mainly influenced by the unfavorablc early re-
ports regarding the harvest prospects in Ger
many. These reports II Ia said led Russia to
believe that Germany. desiring Russian grain.
&C., would not re,ante for the impose
ton bv Russia OF tho highest tariff on Ger
man products. In this belief however. she
wns disappointed. as the prompt action OF the
Federal Council in raising the German tariff
on Russian products ll!ty per cent. shows that
Germany is not dependent upon Russian
cereals as Russia appears to think. Had the
early crop reports turned out TO be correct
the situation might have been different.
Russias belief wns ustinable in the month
of May hut the considerations then taken into
account by her do not held now. Tho con-
dition OF the crops. especially wheat and rye
has greatly Improved. II is. therefore. argued
that Germany can bide her time until Russia
recognizes that whatever injury Is done by the
war falls mainly upon herself In connection
with this subject it is worthy OF note that Ger.

confined to Russia. The returns for 1892 and
the early part OF 1903 show great decrease
In the quantity OF grain imported into Ger
many from Russia. The chief regret as to tho
situation is expressed in financial circles.
A remarkable change occurred within tho
past fow days in the tone OF tho German
press and public conversation in regard to the
Franco -Samese imbroglio. Germany began
to realize that she would be seriously affected
