EUROPE: GERMANY. 103 



kilometers 279.6 miles from Chemnitz) are 2.15 marks (51.1 cents) 

 per 100 kilograms. Packing pulp, straw pulp, wood pulp, turf pulp, 

 etc. ; raw roof-paper pulp; all kinds of pulp for export; wood, cut, 

 dry, and in pulp, if the plates .are so cut or filled with holes that 

 they can not be used as pulp, cost 2.15 marks (51.1 cents) per 100 

 kilograms (220.46 pounds) to Hamburg. In case the goods are to go 

 out of the country via Hamburg or Bremen, shipments of less than 

 5,000 kilograms go at the rates put down for carloads of 5,000 kilo- 

 grams (11,023 pounds). These rates, however, are not accorded to 

 goods that come into the country. The rates to Hamburg are, for 

 a load of 5,000 kilograms, 3.20 marks (76.1 cents) per 100 kilograms; 

 if more than 10,000 kilograms (22,046 pounds), 2.82 marks (67. i cents) 

 per 100 kilograms. Fast-express rates are 10 to 30 marks ($2.38 to 

 $7.14) per 100 kilograms; to Leipzig, 83 kilometers (51.5 miles), the 

 special rates are 46 pfennigs (10.9 cents) per 100 kilograms; in car- 

 loads of at least 5,000 kilograms, 74 pfennigs (17.6 cents); loads of 

 upwards of 10,000 kilograms, 62 pfennigs (14.7 cents). 



Rags pay 1.71 marks (40.6 cents) unless in very large quantities, 

 when the rates are those given for wood. Paper pays the same rates as 

 those given for pulp, with this difference : paper, for export, no matter 

 how small the quantities, is sent at the rates for 5,000 kilograms 3. 22 

 marks (76.6cents) instead of 5. 15 marks ($1.225). From Chemnitz 

 to Einsiedel, where there is a large paper mill, the rates are 14 pfen- 

 nigs (3.3 cents) per 100 kilograms on the articles enumerated, except 

 rags, which pay n pfennigs- (2. 6 cents) per 100 kilograms. The 

 only difference, I am told, is in favor of goods going out of the 

 country. These exports, if in parcels, get the same rates as if they 

 were in 5,ooo-kilogram blocks; goods that come in have to pay the 

 full rates. The rates given are for land. Water rates are much less. 

 Extra expenses are freight, customs bills, etc. ; these cost only a 

 trifle one-fourth of a cent each. Marking the bales, boxes, etc., 

 costs 5 pfennigs (i cent); weighing, 5 pfennigs per 100 kilogram for 

 parcels and 4 pfennigs (0.8 cent) per 100 kilograms for carloads,
