Some Interesting Facts Recorded by Our
Consul at Bamberg.

Some Interesting Facts Recorded by Our
Consul at Bamberg.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Our consul at
Bamberg, Louis Stern. has submitted
some statistics to the department OF
state showing the remarkable stimula-
ton of trade between Germany and
Russia, consequent upon the negotia.
ton of the new commercial treaty.
The imports of Russian grain into
Germany in particular have reached
such proportions that the consul be.
lieves it proper to call the attention of
the American trade. The expectation
of Russian grain into Germany during
the first 10 months of the current year
has increased 1862 per cent, and of
barley $685. per cent as compared with
the previous year. On the other hand,
Germany's demand for Russian petro.
leum is falling off, being 54.2 per cent
less than last year. This indicates that
American petroleum has gained almost
full control of the German market.
Exports from Germany to Russia are
likewise steadily increasing.

ment being in charge of Mrs. Charles
E. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis secured letters
on the wheat situation from prominent
men in the trade in the United States
and Canada and they are printed in
The Journal, making it perhaps the
most complete symposium on wheat
ever printed in the United States. A
striking feature of the presentation is
the very general agreement OF promi-
nent men of the trade in Milwaukee,
Baltimore, Toledo. Chicago, San Fran
cisco and st. Louis, that the outlook
for an advance of wheat prices is dis
couraging. Many speak slightingly OF
wheat feeding, and the general char
acter of the interviews presented is
very frank in the discussion of the
market situation.

Thousands Of AcreSof Iowa Land Involved
in Tax Title Suits.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 27.-Suit has
been begun in the Iowa supreme court
involving the title to thousands of acres
of land in Northwestern Iowa. In the
early SOS John Irwin owned large
number Of military-1and warrants upon
some of the choicest lands in North.
west Iowa. During the war Irwin be-
came financially embarrassed, and,
failing to pay taxes upon his Iowa
lands. they were sold at tax sale. The
tax titles thus acquired were purchased
by parties who improved the lands and
have for many years resided upon
them. In October, 1898, Irwin died in
Nebraska, and now his heirs have
brought suit to redeem from the tax
sales, claiming Irwin was insane at the
time the lands were sold for taxes and
so continued UP to the time of his
death. In Clay cornty alone over 70
different farms are involved,
