MADE UPON SEVERAL PHASES OF
 GERMAN INDUSTRY


 the American Association of Com merce and Trade which have just reached here from Berlin.
 The German machine industry, it is 1declared, is now in the process of a general readjustment, back to the re- production of implements of peace times as well as war. The fact that flor two years many of the machine producing factories have been concen- trating on implements of war, in order to save themselves from stagnation, has caused the supply of machines for Fall other purposes to decrease. "And' the report continues, "since competi- tion of normal times has practically ceased, the demand for machines for peace production has steadily in creased.
 'This is the case, for instance, with agricultural implements, manufactur- CTS not being able at the present time to satisfy the demand, and works, fur nishing equipments and supplies to mining, steel and iron concerns, are occupied to full capacity and hardly equal to the task of filling orders.
 'The result, therefore, is a period of replenishment and renovation of such overworked equipment that has now set in and which limited by the long deliveries required.
 F "It will be a tremendous undertak- ing after the war, to replace the worn out machine equipment of German factories, a work that will require several years to accomplish"
 Statistics of the German steel pro duction month by month are given. showing substantial increases over 1915.
 The coal and coke situation, the potash market and the linen industry are all favorably reviewed. The hop crop for 1916 is shown to be way be- low that for the previous year, there having been a considerable decrease in the cultivated area.
 The number of transient visitors in Berlin during the month of August was shown by the hotel registers to have reached a total of 110,452, which was a considerable incrase over pre- vious months. It is interesting to note that of this total number only 3,690 were foreigners, including 163 Americans. From hostile countries were recorded one each from France and Italy, two from England and 200 from Russia
 The annual fall fair in Leipsic is reported by the American Association as having had very satisfactory re- suits, showing a considerably in creased demand for high quality goods of all sorts. Experienced exhibi- tors', says the report, "explain this by the fact that large part of the peo- pie are now earning much more than before the war"
 The glass and ceramic industries re- ported good turnovers, as did the en- tire metal goods industry, the latter having learned to adapt itself to al tered conditions, and many substitu- tes were in evidence for copper and brass. Large orders were recorded by the paper goods manufacturers, and novelties for the Easter holidays were sold in record time. Discussing the foodstuffs branch inaugurated at the fair, the report says that the hun dred exhibitors in this line were high ly pleased with the results obtained, and the foodstuffs exhibit promises to be a permanent feature of the Leipsic fair.
 The text of an appeal to the people to subscribe to the fifth German war loan is quoted in the Associations report as follows:
 Notwithstanding recent political events, the Reichsbank once more is calling the roll for a war loan. The financial leaders of the Empire con- fidently hope that the performance of duty in this respect will not need an appeal to patriotism, but that the will to take part in the achievement of an honorable peace is, at all times, alive.
 "The very increased number of our enemies forms an incentive to our enemies forms an incentive to our efforts spurring on to unsurpassed . achievements.
 "Our finances do not shake under the vast amounts which so far have been subscribed for, which will ex- perience a further strengthening by the additional billions to be placed at
