GERMAN EXPORTS FALL OFF.
1t Causes II Great Depression in Indus.
trial Circles.

"Ominous clouGs which forestall no good
are rising over all the great industrial states
of Europe" says a German publication in
an article recently published, translation
of which Consul Winter, at Annaberg, has
transmitted to the State Department.
AS to the present crisis in German indus
tries, Consul Winter says that the real
cause of depression lies in the fact that
German foreign markets have not increased
proportionate1y with the increase of home
production. During the past year. he says,
German exports to China and South Africa
have practically ceased. The war in the
Transvadl not only put end to German
exports to that part of the world, but cut
off the import Of gold from South Africa
at the same time. The most powerful fac
tor however, with which Germany has had
to contend. says the consul, has been the
those countries where Germany, the ex-
elusive producer, has always had her best
markets. That has especially been the case
in the United States with all textile prod
ucts. For example, Consul Winter states
that the export of WOODEN goods from Greiz
alone to the United States has made an
alarming drop of from 1,o0S, 800 in 1895 to
but $4S,S49 last year.
without question: concludes Consul
Winter, 1.-The condition Of the German
laborer is not as prosperous as it was a
few years ago. The number of idle work
men is increasing. and hard-earned savings
must be used. How long present condi-
tons will last remains to be seem

impression gathered strength as the day

THE natural result of this an in
creasing confidence and Il greater tendency

tracts momentarily suspended, and make

should have affected the building industry,
but now that the good sense of the Ameri-
