GERMANS CUT YANKEE GRAIN i.

Berlin.-A great reduction in the
importation Of American grain into
Germany is predicted by members Of
the Berlin grain exchange. who de-
clare that this year the German con.
sumer is practically Independent Of
the United States as source Of sup.
ply.
Noting the fact that the recent
sharp advances in the American mar.
ket failed to produce any material ef.
feet on the Berlin exchange. the
bourse expert of the Tageblatt SAYS
that the reason may be found In the
exceptional conditions which enable
Germany to rely almost entirely upon
other countries. While American
wheat has gone up in consequence Of
the general rise In all commodities.
the Russian crops are expected to be
large enough to cover the entire Ger
man demand at lower prices. Hence.
adds the writer. the Berlin exchanges
are responding more readily to price
conditions in Russia than to the fluc.
tuations in the American markets.
