Especial DISPATCH TO The Times.)
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The State
Department is in receipt Of several COM
munications to the effect that during a
recent discussion in the German Parlia-
ment, an Agrarian member OF the House
asserted that the total value Of the agri-
cultural products of Germany was larger
than that Of the manufactured goods
This statement is questioned by n lead
ing commercial paper of Coburg, which
submits figures for 1897 ozone moro recent
being available.)
The total value Of the manufactures
for 1897, as submitted, amounted to S2202,-
10000. The statistics with regard to the
value OF agricultural products of the same
year are taken from the same source
and give the total value as S6f2. 100000,
which shows that the value of the agri-
cultural products is very far behind
that of the manufactured products.
