IN GERMANY
GENERAL MASON REVIEWS
CONDITIONS.
Notable Increase in Import of Amerf-
can Corn and Oats Inspires In
easfness Among EcOnOmists.

Consul General Mason at Berlin has SUBJ
mitted his annual report for 1890 to the
Department Of State He gives a comprehen-
! sive review of commercial and industrial
conditions in Germany during the past year,
and makes an earnest appeal for ami
cable adjustment of the many vexed ques-
tons of trade and mutual resentment ex-
listing between the empire and the Emitted
States.
Mr.. Mason says that a notable increase
in the import of American corn and oats
has inspired great uneasiness among Ger
tain German economists Of agrarian ten
dencies who hold that in respect to food
products, forage grains and certain other
materials Germany is becoming altogether
too dependent upon the United States. He
points out that in the reciprocal trade be-
tween the United States and Germany for
the past decade balance Of over 5000, 900, =
600 rests with the republic against the en-
pire Germany he says, is still poor in ac-
cumuated wealth in comparison with
France and England. Writers in other
countries have painted the situation in Ger
many in somber colors, and h. We predicted
stormy sea ahead for certain German in
dustries in the shape of the increased cost
of fuel and the overshadowing competition
of the United States.
No Sign of Trepidation.
While these general aspects of the situi-
ton are clearly recognized In Germany"
says MIR. Mason, there is no outward
symptom of trepidation or panic and bust
ness men of all classes face the future with
apparent confidence The more sanguine
ones, for instance, he says. apparently find
nothing to fear in the strained condition
of the fuel market taking the ground that
while coal Is scarce and dear in Germany
1t Is not because there is less of it to be
had, but because there is use for more than
Is mined.
The condition of German agriculture is
said to be still unsatisfactory. The most
important agricultural product in a COM
merctal sense. beet sugar, has suffered on
the whole, although it's expectation to the
United States has increased of late. I'm
Ger the stimulus of bounties and the in
comparable skill of German SCIENTISTS
says Mr.. Mason both the cultivation of
beets and the manufacture of sugar have
been Improved and perfected to the highest
possible efficiency. But such bounty
system, he continues, naturally does not
make sugar cheap In the empire, and
meanwhile every year adds to the sugar
cane growing area of the United States
and her island possessions.
Conaictinx Claims.
After review Of the rival claims of the
industrial and commercial classes . as
against the agrarian demands of the ae-
rfculturists and land owners in the war
over the pending tariff schedules, Consul
General Mason says:
The time is ripe for a calm deliberate
lete and imperfect treaties Between the
United States and Germany, a broad, intel
Ugent adaptation of their relations in All
that pertains to reciprocal trade natural
lied citizenship and other vexed and irri-
Eating questions. to the new and vastly

Germany's Most Formidable Rival.
Mr.. Mason states that the United States
is frankly recognized as Germany's most
richly endowed aggressive and formidable
rival, and emphasizes the fact that any
thing which checks the prosperity of the
people of the empire will diminish to that
extent their ability to maintain the recip-
rocal trade which is now heavily in ia
Nor of the United States. Against the I'M
