American Coal in Germany.

The State Department is in receipt of a
report from United States Consul Man at
Breslau concerning American coal in Ger
many. Mr.. Man says that one of the
largest coal dealers in Berlin, who has re-
Gently returned from a visit to the United
States. thinks that the talk Of America
flooding Germany with coal shows igno-
rance Of the situation. American soft coal
the dealer contends, cannot yet, even with
the present low ocean rates, be introduced
profitably into Germany, but can only be
imported on the Mediterranean with profit.
The importation Of anthracite coal from
America is quite another matter. The Ber-
lin dealer left big orders for this sort of
coal In the United States, and says that in
the importation of anthracite coal into Ger
many England is the only competitor of
the United States

GERMANY's SHOE IMPORTS.
Market Likely to BE Flooded With tn
Foreign Product.

Foreign Product.
In the proposed new German customs tar
iff the distinction between coarse and fine
shoes as drawn at present will not be ap-
piled, according to Consul General Hughes
at Coburg, Germany, in a report to the
State Department dated December 3. Mr..
Hughes says that experience has taught
the German officials that the arrangement
does not guarantee a sure classification of
goods, and that fine shoes would occasion
ally be entered at the low, and the cheap
ones at the high, rates of duty.
The consul general says that the impor-
tation Of leather shoes into Germany in
creases year by year, and If foreign COM
petition does not yet mean danger for the
home trade the Germans think that in the
absence of sufficient protection it is by no
means impossible that their market may
be flooded with foreign shoes. In fact, he
says, they note that start in that direc-
tion has already been made, especially
from the United States. Besides the
growth of foreign competition, Mr.. Hughes
continues, the intended increase of import
duty on most kinds of foreign top leather
for shoes calls for the advance of the rates
on shoes, according to German IDEAS

Lesson for Bankers,
From the Kansas City Journal.

from the Kansas City Journal.
The Jewell county (Kan.) Republican tells
little story in illustration of the circum-
spection with which country bankers must
handle their customers. A Kansas banker
lost patience with the "dribble- e-drab bible"
business of man who caused the bank a
lot OF trouble in bookkeeping, and the
cashier told the man that his account was
not desirable. In a little while the man
died, leaving a large sum in life insurance.
which was deposited by the wife In rival
bank And little later still she married
the best customer the first bank had and
induced him to remove his deposit And
the lesson is that all banks should treat
US kindly. for there is no telling how soon
we may leave a lot Of vengefuI widows to
deposit the life insurance elsewhere and
marry away the banks best customers

new mounts These and some minor re-
pairs will cost $4,000
