purchase was made. In the opinion of this firm a market for macaroni
 wheat will be open to American exporters if they offer the
same terms as the Russians.
Mr. Richard Sonnenfeld, Karlstrasse 6, one of the largest grain
commission merchants of this city, has also supplied me with much
of the information contained in this report.
All the millers expressed a desire to see and have the opportunity
of inspecting the American product, and would without doubt make
a trial of it if satisfactory terms could be arranged.
The names forwarded herewith embrace those who were written
to on the subject, and although some of them could give no information

exporters as would wish to place themselves in communication with
interested parties in this consular district:

MUNICH.

(From United States Consul-General Worman, Munich, Cermany.)
