buy mostly from grain importers at Antwerp, but they mightalso buy
direct from the United States.
Grain importers in this city who deal in American wheat and are
also likely to handle macaroni wheat are Carl Sachs, Gruber &amp;
Biirklin, and Wm. Fr. Waydelin.

PLAUEN.
(From United States Consul Muench, Plauen, Germany.)

There are no establishments for the manufacture of macaroni located
 in or near Plauen, hence I am unable to report that this locality
 offers any special opportunity for marketing the surplus product
in question.
The accompanying clipping from the “market” column of the
Berliner Tageblatt, one of the leading journals of this country, will
show that the subject has reached the public prints from a most effective
 quarter, and if a suggestion may be here added it would be
to arm our consulates with a brief but comprehensive description of
the wheat in question—its quality, uses, probable cost, etc. It may
well be assumed that, armed in advance with this information, consuls
 would be enabled to effect large savings in time otherwise spent
in correspondence.

AMERICAN WHEAT FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF MACARONI.

The Agricultural Department of the United States of America points out the
large yield in American macaroni wheat this year. The surplus of this species of
wheat for export is estimated at 10,000,000 bushels. Europeans interested in macaroni
 wheat are requested to send their addresses to the consulate-general at Frankfort,

 to be forwarded to the United States.

SOLINGEN.
(From United States C onsul Lang, Solingen, Germany.)
While there is no direct demand for macaroni wheat in this consular
 district, I have learned, while making inquiry regarding the
same, that Germany is quite a good market for hard wheat suitable
for making macaroni, there being none grown in Germany. The
wheat that is used is imported chiefly from southern Russia and is
cheaper than that imported from the United States.
