The present price paid by the noodle manufacturer to the grain
dealer is 130 marks ($35.70) per ton of 2,204 pounds. This price
corresponds with 103 to ro marks ($24.99 to $26.18) per ton at Hamburg
 or Bremen. At this latter price the American macaroni wheat
must be delivered to the wholesale grain dealer in those two cities.
The macaroni wheat used in Germany is imported from Russia.
One of the largest, if not the principal, manufacturer of noodle
or macaroni in my district is Ferdinand North, of Erfurt, in Thuringia.
 He does not purchase the wheat, but the products thereof—
grits and meal—which he obtains from the milling establishments.
The following is a list of the principal mills and manufacturers
of macaroni wheat in my district and elsewhere:

Wesermiihlen Aktiengesellschaft, Hameln.
E: Riege, Emmerthal, Hanover.
Walz und Mahlmiihlenwerke, F. von Dreyses Erben, S6mmerda.
Ludwigshafener Walzmiihle, Ludwigshafen.
H. Hildebrand &amp; Soehne, Weinheim.
Rich. Banse, Meisdorf am Harz.
Fr. Ramme, Neinstedt am Harz.
C. Weineck &amp; Soehne, Oldesleben, Thuringia.

No kinds of grain are directly imported into Brunswick, but they
are purchased from the large grain houses in Hamburg and Bremen.
Persons in the United States who are desirous to sell macaroni
wheat might correspond directly with the above-mentioned mills
and manufacturers of noodle or macaroni. Correspondence should
be conducted in German.

CHEMNITZ.
(From United States Consul Monaghan, Chemnitz, Germany.)

After consultation with some of the leading grain dealers, I find
that this city offers no market of importance for macaroni wheat;
the macaroni consumed in Chemnitz is brought from other German
cities, and not manufactured here. The wheat, I am told, enters
Germany largely through Hamburg and Bremen. The dealers with
whom I spoke have at no time done any business worth mentioning

In macaroni wheat or flour, so that this city would seem to afford

no outlet for the surplus crop of the United States.
