Washington reports from Consular Agent Harris at Bibenstock show Germany's grain imports from Russia and the United States. In 1897 Russia led the US by 27.3 million dollars, but by 1900 the US trailed by only about 4.95 million. Harris predicts competition will sharpen each year as Europe’s grain customers rely on nonproducing countries. He cites cheaper ocean freight as the key for the United States to compete successfully with Russia.
