Telegrams to speed letters via reduced rates frontier
Officials of the Piatafies Department await advices from American consuls in Germany relative to the value of the improvement inaugurated by the postoffice authorities of the German empire. Letters received too late for rapid space by certain trains are forwarded by telegraph at reduced rates. The Department of Commerce and Labor has preliminary reports from its agents in Germany and instructions to publish the new method. If forwarding offices cannot reach the destination in time for the flat morning delivery, they will be sent as telegrams at a greatly reduced rate and delivered by the mail car the next morning. This offers merchants a chance to reach customers without the expense of a phone call or a short telegram. The German government is pleased with the endorsements of the plan by reading business houses.

Decline in Shipping Europe Gains Big Advantage
Consul General Anderson reports from Rio de Janeiro that Europe dominates Brazil’s imports due to faster, larger shipping via Europe and slower, fewer U S lines to the coast. He notes 20 ships weekly to Europe, average 6,600 tons, vs 12 knot U S ships every eighteen and a half days, 6,000 tons, leaving Brazil with inadequate steamship facilities.
