American stoves begin to be seen in Germany, and glass from Pittsburgh meets with approval owing to its strength and clearness. American cotton cloths are bought carefully by the German housewife. Sole-leather from the United States is preferred to the English article. American preserved vegetables, fruits, oysters, lobsters, etc., are sold in large quantities in Germany.
