6, 1915. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANU/ 500D CONDITIONS NOTED IN GERMANY » American Trade Paper, Pubished in Berlin, Is Optimistic. To keep American merchants and manufacturers in close touch with the “Eeneral conditions in Germany during the Buropean war the American As- ! gociation of Commerce and Trade, | located in the Equitable building in ¥ Berlin, sends out weekly reports to their members in the United States. The last report that has Neen received here by President F. H. Johnson of .the Connecticut Chamber of Com- inerce states that there is a substan- tial rise of gold reserves on hand in the German empire and the table shows an increase from August 31 to November 7. It is said that this gold increase is significant of Germany's cconomical strength, and corresponds with the general favorable situation. General Conditions in Germany. i Touching briefly on the lndustrhl‘ %ituation the report says that the need | of supplying the German army with | ecquipment for the winter campaign | has broyght many large orders to ai- 1 most every branch of industry, al- though it is true that many skilled | hands are at the front. Business with 4‘ neutral countries has brightened up, .says the report, and in Germany in- dustry has adjusted itself to condi- slions In a remarkable way and has “Been stimulated by success of Ger- man fleet and army. Furthermore | nany firms of iron and metal indus- | try have gone to making war mater- ials, such as projectiles. Other firms are making wholesale camp kitchens and in the textile industry firms that formerly made only silks have begun .to make cotton goods 'for military Qurposes. An unusual high value is placed by the Germans on the raw material and stores captured at the fall of Antwerp. As an example it is pointed out that among other stores captured is more coffee than the entire German nation imported in a year, The French jron mines and mills captured at Longwy _ and Bruges are now being managed Qy the German government, a signifi- cant fact since this district furnishes about eighty-five per cent of the en- tire French iron ore production. There is no alarming decrease in Berlin's food supply but it is a fact, continues the report, that peas, beans, lentil and eggs are scarce. Meat is in evidence although the price is ex- pected to soar presently. The supply fish is also good as is the domestic it crop. Trade Conditions After War. Included in this same paper is an article on “The American Exporter After the War,” written by Frederick W. King, a member of this trade as- sociation. He says at the outset that kl':r prescnt state of affairs in Europe N have such a far-reaching effect 6n methods of distribution of Ameri- can products in Kurope that a dras- tic change may be expected after the war. In the future the American! manufacturer will be forced to take | a personal interest in the foreign con- | sumer and not be content to do bu ness through an export agency. Ad- | €trtising will play an important ]1Rl‘f‘ and in short, a general revolution of the manner of conducting foreign trade must come about, writes Mn | King.
