FREIBURG.

(From United States Consul Liefeld, Freiburg, Germany.)

From inquiries I learn that there is in this consular district
no direct market for wheat, either in upper Alsace or in upper
Baden. Although there are some mills scattered throughout this
district the millers are accustomed to get their supply either direct
from the farmers or from the wholesale dealers in Mannheim, whose
agents make regular weekly visits to Freiburg and at one of the
cafés exhibit their goods and take orders, not only from the dealers
in this city, but from the dealers of all the surrounding district.
Such has been the custom for many years, the millers here preferring
to buy in this way rather than run the risk of loss in transit.
My information as to Muelhausen and upper Alsace was of ‘a
similar nature. The mills were not fitted to grind the macaroni
Wheat (blé dur), but were designed for grinding the softer quality
of wheat (blé tendre).
