The Trade Depression of Germany.
The German ports suffered <"jry much from the decrease in the imports of corn. Mannheim, which is one of the principal corn markets in Germany, also loat a good deal of its trade last year. The sugar-making trade was also vory bad, and most manufacturers put restrictions upon the quantity made. The cotton manufictuiera also complain of having: done very badly, while the production of chemicals and colouring matters, hitherto so prosperous, experienced a sharp check. The railway returns wore also veiy unsatisfactory, the Prussian lines belonging to the State, which are about 12,500 miles in length and represent a capital cf £275,000,000, or £21,800 per mile, showing a not profif of about 5 per cent., which, though better than that of most railways, is still far from what rhese line 9 yielded a few years ago. The plethora of capital at Berlin ia not altogether a favour able symptom, indicating, a3 it does, a lack of enterprise and of confidence to invest in commercial or industrial enterprises. — " JLondon Time 0 ."
