AFTER AUSTRALIAN MARKETS.
CONSUL. MONAGHAN POINTS OUT A WAY
TO MEET GERMAN COMPETITION.

Washington Feb (sp ,aiaD.-The systematic
methods adopted in Germany for the extension OF
that country's foreign markets have produced such
remarkable results in the present decade that II IS
hardly surprising to learn OF the undertaking of
German manufacturers to division with
British and American firms OF the Australian trade
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz who has long been
one of the alert guardians Of the United
States trade interests abroad appeals to Americans
through official report to the State Department
not to surrender the hard earned Australian market
without a struggle. and points out the way to meet
the new competition The German manufacturers,
according to his nforma ton have decided to trans
plant their sample and display rooms from German
cities to the countries in which they intend to do
business. The manufacturers of the Grand Duchy
OF Weinlar. with the Grand Duke at their head,
have taken up this question and are about to estab
lish a sample in sydney. y. s. W. 1t is said
by the men at the head OF the movement that ii is
impossible for any concern TO carry on this
undertaking alone; that different industries must
combine and make the burden light as possible.
The Bavariau commercial and industrial chambers
have made a close study of this enterprise and the
opportunities offered in the Australian market, and
have come to the conclusion that the best way to
develop their industries is TO join the Weimar man

by close study that the principal wants Of Australia

thirty to fifty miles hour, and while this We
locity was not remarkable it was an important
and unwelcome factor The mercury fell again
with the sun, and last night It was well down
toward the zero point.
