LoYDOS, January lS.-Privats advices
from Russia continue to afford strong
evidence of the injury done the mercau-
tile community by the opprehensions of
war. One firm Of cotton s%pinners, en-
ployiDg twelve thousand hands. has
lost SO heavily since Russia as.
sumed a war like attitude, that the
establishment would have been closed
had not the firm obtained assistance, it
is said, from the government, which was
unwilling that such a catastrophe should
involve so large a number Of employees.
1t is said that Gortschskoff has issued
a circular to the Russian representatives
abroad expressing his belief that Turkey
will reject the conference proposals. and
that Russia cannot undertake a warlike
policy because Europe would not support
her and might form a coalition against
her.
1t is understood that one or two mil.
lions Turkish pounds, paper money, will
be issued.
The Lancashire cotton trade has IN.
conditionally rejected the operatives
