GERMANS CUT YANKEE GRAIN

Russia Will Furnish Bulk of Product This Year—High Prices Are Not Felt. Berlin.—A great reduction in the Importation of American grain into Germany is predicted by members of the Berlin grain exchange, who do* Clare that this year the German consumer is N practically Independent o i the United States as a source of sup* ply. Noting the fact that the recent sharp advances In the American market failed to produce any material es feet on the Berlin exchange th* bourse expert of the Tageblatt says that the reason may be found in the exceptional conditions which enable Germany to rely almost entirely upon other countries. While American wheat has gone up In consequence of the general rise In all commodities, the Russian crops are expected to be large enough to cover the entire German demand at lower prices. Hence, adds the writer, the Berlin exchanges are responding more readily to price conditions In Russia than to the fluctuations In the American markets.
