marketing the same a difficult one for the representative merchants
to answer, and it seems to me necessary that samples be sent to
enable me to ascertain thoroughly the state of the market in this
particular.
As the duty on flour is prohibitive and as wheat is free, I see no
advantage in sending samples other than of the wheat.
I doubt, however, whether more satisfactory sales could be secured
here than through the medium of the dealers at Odessa.
The principal wheat dealer in Warsaw—Mr. B. Werner, Krolewska

or both the American wheat and flour.

WHEAT IN SOUTH RUSSIAN PORTS.

The following is a translation by Consul Hugo Muench, of Plauen,
Germany, of an article from the Berliner Tageblatt on the subject of
wheat in storage in the ports of southern Russia:
The accumulations of wheat in southern Russian ports are heavily increasing,
despite a lively export. As reported from Odessa and Nikolaifsk, fully 700,000
tons of grain are stored at those two points, of which about go per cent is in wheat.

This represents 25,000,000 bushels of wheat, so that the supply at Odessa and
Nikolaifsk alone exceeds the total visible supply of this kind of wheat in the United

States.
From Novorossisk it is also reported that no sufficient storage room can be provided

 for the grain that arrives. Large quantities of wheat have likewise been

gathered at the Donau ports. It becomes more and more apparent that the harvest

yield of southeastern Europe was materially underestimated.

SPAIN.
BARCELONA,

(From United States Consul-General Lay, Barcelona, Spain.)
In order to ascertain whether and to what extent it would be
possible to market macaroni wheat in this country during the coming
 season, I have interviewed some of the leading wheat importers
and manufacturers of macaroni and vermicelli in this district, and I
find that owing to the comparatively small quantity of this class of
wheat harvested here this year it is thought that, roughly speaking,
about 80,000 bushels will have to be imported. I therefore decided
to cable the Department at once, so that intending shippers might
be informed with as little delay as possible of the requirements of
this market.
In view of the large quantity of macaroni wheat available in the
United States at present, I think we should easily be able to supply
