German Regulations as to the Importation of Feeding Barley. — The 

 import duty under the German tariff of 1906 is fixed for feeding barley 

 at 13 marks, and for malting barley at 40 marks per metric ton, and 

 in order to prevent malting barley being charged at the lower rate, a 

 law was passed in August, 1909, providing that feeding barley weighing 

 more than 65 kilos, per hectolitre shall only be admitted if it is dyed 

 red by means of "Eosine," or if it is submitted to a thorough analysis 

 showing its unsuitability for malting purposes. The regulation with 

 regard to dyeing has given rise to numerous complaints on the part of 

 German farmers and millers. — [F.O. Reports, Annual Series, No. 4521.]

Agricultural Exhibition at Omsk, Western Siberia. — H.M. Consul at 

 St. Petersburg (Mr. A. W. Woodhouse) reports that it is intended in the 

 summer of next year to hold an exhibition of the agriculture, forestry, 

 and industry of Western Siberia at Omsk. The main object of this 

 enterprise, the first of its kind in Siberia, is to acquaint the world 

 with the unlimited resources and increasing productiveness of Western 

 Siberia, and to attract foreign exhibitors interested in Siberian trade. 

 British firms are therefore invited to take part, and, if possible, to 

 combine on the same lines as those which it is expected will be adopted 

 by German and Swedish exhibitors, for the purpose of conjointly 

 erecting a special British pavilion. Foreign exhibits for this exhibition 

 will be admitted free of import duties on condition that the amounts 

 chargeable under this head be temporarily deposited at the customs 

 houses at which the goods arrive on the frontiers, and provided such 

 goods are not sold and do not remain in Russia. (F.O. t Reports, 

 Annual Series, No. 4370.)
