INDUSTRY LAes IN EUROPE.
Consul Hummer Reports a Crisis I'm.
pending in Many Trades.

According 10 a report received at the
State Department yesterday from Vice
Consul General Simon W Hummer. at
Frankfort. Germany, all Europe is threat
ened with an industrial crisis, V itch may

the report says:
THE wave of Industrial prosperity in
Europe, which has steadily risen since
1895, has taken a turn and begun TO re-
cede. All signs point toward a crisis in
industrial and financial lines which may
occur before two years have passed. ANY
political disturbance of note may bring
on the crisis suddenly and without warn
ing. Coal mining is still booming. as
the supply is not equal to the demand.
The iron and steel works, including the
manufacture of many lines of machinery
and steel plates for warships. have or
ders which Il will take some months to
Ell. but factories making small ironware,
nails, needles, bicycles. sewing machines
etc, are curtailing production and reduc-
ing working forces and wage scales.
There are doubts II the immensely
capitalized electrical works OF Germany
ana other countries can keep fully en-
ployed after present contracts are filled
This line of industry, which in Germany
alone represents an investment of near
ly $500, eco coo, has been largely instru-
mental in creating the present boom.
Failures have already begun in the
building trade. which in the large cities
has been of a speculative nature and
rested mainly on borrowed capital. Rsns
for business houses and dwellings have
advanced. but will toppIe upon the first
beginning of a business crisis
'Shipowners are still jubilant. owing
to the phenomenal advance in ocean
transportation rates which was brought
about by the South African war and the
present troubles in China.
THE German papers speak in alarm
ing tones of the sad position Of the tex
tile industry. where stoppages of fac
tories are the order OF the day. Late
statistics of the Gera district show 6.C22
looms idle, out of a total of II, 829. The
weavers still employed there earn but
Sf.904 to $2.3s per week. This wretched
wage, which is to support family is
next to starvation rate, especially as
fuel and provisions have greatly ad-
vanced in price and the poor operative
must pay Government tax and school
rate besides.
The stock market is the delicate
seismometer which denotes the coming
upheaval. Shares of Industrial companies
have already commenced to decline,
though the reports of their operations
promise for this year large dividends
The high interest rates which have ruled
for money this year and the high taxes
which capitalists and business interests
must pay in Germany have also tended
TO affect the boom"
