HAMBURG.

United States Vice and Acting Consul-General E. H. L. Mummenhoff,
 of Hamburg, Germany, under date of October 26, 1903,
says:
The common idea among the importers of wheat in this city is
that there would be very little chance of doing much business in
Hamburg in macaroni wheat. However, Mr. Gustav G. Ascher,
Luisenhof No. 43, a leading merchant and importer in this city, is
of the opinion that macaroni wheat could be imported into Germany
provided the quality and the prices justified, and he requested me
to advise that intending exporters of macaroni wheat be put in communication
 with him. After receiving samples, he will be better
able to give satisfactory information on this subject.

KEHL.

Under date of October 24, 1903, United States Consul J. I. Brittain,
 of Kehl, Germany, requests that samples of macaroni wheat be
sent to the Illkircher Muehlenwerk, Strassburg, Germany, one of
the largest and best-equipped milling establishments in Europe.
This establishment will give the wheat a fair test.
The samples of wheat should consist of about 10 pounds each
and the price should be distinctly marked so much per 1,000 kilograms
 (2,204 pounds). Samples can be sent by express. The nearest
port is Antwerp. A letter should also be written by each person
sending samples of wheat, giving price and number of sample indicated,
 which number should correspond with the number attached to
each sack containing samples.
The samples of wheat may be sent direct to the above-indicated
address and cleared at the Strassburg custom-house. The grain
can arrive at the mills either by water or rail, as the mills are located
in the Rhine harbor.
Under date of October 26, Consul Brittain further requests that
samples of wheat be sent to Michel Klein, Strassburg, Alsace, Germany,
 Kronenbrugerstrass No. 35. Michel Klein is a commission
merchant doing business on an extensive scale. He purchases wheat
from the United States in cargo lots and is much interested in obtaining
 samples and prices of macaroni wheat. The directions given
in regard to samples and shipping to the Illkircher Muehlenwerk
should be complied with in this case also.
