THE EMPIRES REMARKABLE INDUSTRIAL PROS
PERrTY IN THE LAST YEAR SHOWN BY
CoNsUL-GENERAL MAsoN's REPORT.
Washington. Dec. "a strong picture OF the
Industrial development OF Germany In the last
year Is contained In the annual report to the
State Department Of United States Consul Gen.
eral Mason at Frankfort. Mr.. Mason says that
the year another twevemonth during
which every chimney in the Fatherland was
smoking every wheel turning" and he presents
some remarkable facts and figures in lnstra-
ton Of German trade methods and their results,
particularly In their effect the commercial
relations with the United States. 1t appears
that the United States stands second only to
England in the total volume OF trade with Ger
many. including both exports and imports.
The exports to the United States decreased
in the textiles alone nearly 81 100000 as result
OF the last United States tariff law, and some
aggressive journals have been urging that the
time Is ripe to retaliate against the United
States. Some OF the German Chambers OF Com
merce having been taking formal steps to as
certain the trend Of public opinion in this mat
ter, and It appears to be Overwhelmingly against
retaliation, so Mr. Mason looks rather for the
adoption OF a conservative policy in the future.
The balance OF trade for the year was in favor
of the United States to the amount Of $780,
0G6 600
Mr. Mason calls attention to the remarkable
results attending the efforts Of the German and
French governments to extend their markets
In remote quarters Of the world through the
agency Of expert commissions. and suggests
that this is an effective argument to support the
estimate Of the Department OF State for the or
ganization of like commissions the United
states. He points to a remarkable increase in
the consumption Of American cornmeal In Ger
many, the gain being "a per cent for one year
The Germans are looking forward with appre-
henson TO the display Of the value OF con to
be made at the Paris exhibition. Their experts
have discovered that this meal Is richer In fat
teninS. heating and STRENGTHENING qualities than
any other cereal. and they are apprehensive
that the laboring classes in Europe when once
taught its use. will buy it to the exclusion or
European grains.
