''""the''«,$riitc«l' States, "Happy country! Happy people who have no foreign relations." The chancellor spoke from a life that is preoccupied with cares in preserving Germany's relative position at the in ternational board and in improvingthat position as the best security for a fu ture that will utilize in peace the im mense vitalities possessed by the Ger man people. France is the weight 'ceaselessly hold ing back Get-many.

To en gage her fleet and two or three army corps in the conqtte^t jaf-a South Amer ican state, regardless of the United States, might be France's opportunity. How impossible tljiftt Jf.-o suppose that Germany would hazard remotely an embroilment with the United States? The purpose of this rough outline of Germany's position is to dispose of the impression on the part, of some good Americans in the navy and in public life that Germany is preparing for trouble with the United States, that she itches for territory in the western hemisphere and will fight us for it. The delicate European balance estops Ger many from taiking one step toward such an aim. z" After ten y gave again old reliable Men LOCATION Convenient to all lines of Street Cm, Churches, Public Buildings, and Petals WK Steam Heat and Electric Light through •at the EbUn House* jt jl RATES. !,V :"'''"••lY'.:v.'••''v.

S. government called for Re ports from the consuls on the Mse ofc macaroni wheat and has. issued »/th^ni in pamphlet form. Ka,ye United States Consul 'Haynes,-rRclu en, says: From statistics at present obtainable it seems that 126,000,000 hectoliters (357,588,000 bushels) would be a conservative estimate for this year's wheat harvest in France. This grves an average production of 19.3 hectoliters (54.773 bushels) per hectdrc (2.471 acres), as 6,500,000 hectares 061,500 acres) were sown. In 1902 there were sown 6,800,600 hectares (16,802,860 acres) if for this year the acreage had been.the same'as in 1902, the crop would have yielded 131,000,000 hectoliters (37i.77§»OSO bushels), an amount exceeded otily once, in 1874, when 133,000,000 hecto liters (377.454,000 bushed) were har vested. The average annual consumption of wheat in France (including that nec es sary for planting and industry) being 123,000,000 hectoliters 349,074,600 bushels), one would imagine that for eign wheat had little chance for entry. It is very probable that to the *26,900,* 000 hectoliters (357,588,000 bushels.) estimated for France, Algeria and Tjin is will add 2,000,000 hectoliters (5,676, 000 bushels) more, which will enter free. It may be aded, hpwever, tliat," as last year, the quality of the harvest is not so good as the average. French millers contend that French Wheat does not contain sufficient gluten (azotic matter), and that a foreign mixture of 15 to 30 per cent is neces sary to make a good flour. This hard wheat, together with that detnan^ed for macaroni arttl edible piastes gener ally, will always be imported, d*£0ite large home yields and' high foreign prices. Since the quantity of gluten de pends less upon variety than uport the natural condition of soil and cultiva tion, France can n6t grow hard wheat. Some of the hard varieties of Algeria and Russia, when cultivated in the Vi» mate of Paris, lose their richnfeissi'Of gluten. Members of the academy*of science say that the gluten incl*l$pes very slowly with notable augmentation of azotic fertilisers, arttl that ft ishes as'the quantity of pho acid applied to the Wheat inc Phosphoric add develops the tion of starch,' which xttearts tively a jdimiWBtion of gluten Weil known that phosphoric fertij are mostly used to augment th«s and careful studies show that ij north 6f France, where these fei't are so abundantly employed, the: of fifty years ago was. very tnucK in ghite# than tliat of today.

In the absence of direct^steamship communication, merchandise from the United States for this consular district with few exceptions, comes through Havre or by way of Paris. Most of --the edible pastes of this country are manufactured in southern Frarice, Marseilles being the chief c4n •:teiy"' I LA ROCHELLE. United States Consul G. H1. Jackson, Oct.'19, 1903, reports that there are no macaroni manufacturers in La Rochelle and consequently there-is no market therein for macaroni wheat. MARSEILLES. United States Consul-General Skin ner, Mtifseilles, reports: The market for macaroni wheat is active at this moment, and prices are rather firmer than they have been. The present is therefore a favorable time for Ameri can exporters but in spite of the re-1 ported surplus of 10,000,000 bushels, they do not seem to have been suffic iently interested'in the matter to have supplied samples or anything else to important buyers in this the chief mar ket for hard Wheat in the world. The Marseilles market could of itself ab sorb a very large proportion of the en tire American surplus, prices and qual ity being reasonable, as compared with the conditions upon which Russian and Algerian wheats enter this market. Messrs. Bendit, TLimburger & Co. have taken a keen interest in the develop ment of the macaroni wheat industry in,the United States, ana when I in formed the senior member of the firm of the "present gj-eat surplus he immed iately cabled to aty officer of my ac quaintance in the agricultural depart ment requesting to be put iir toi&h tfitH firms able to make hittf itn incicjent which inJftcalifts the pdfsibt^ .pes in :this'cit^. 1 rllew_ 75 to Yorr ftie-—andthe & franco ia jriikii&xb ktlf. lot .yf t' V ROUEN GRAIN MERCHANTS.
