FOREIGN NEWS.
RUSSIA AND GERMANY MAY FALL

hOSS1A AMI ObhhANh MAY TALL
OUT.
LONDON, June 15.-The Post pub.
fishes dispatch from Berlin, stat
ing that the question Of Chinese
loan seems to have caused a
marked divergence Of opinion be-
tween Russia and Germany. Ac-
cording to Germany's view, Russia
has executed a sudden and curious
about-face in regard to Japanese
evacuation of the Chinese main
land.
China having engaged not to
raise further loan In six months,
and as she evidently cannot yet
even pay the original indemnity,
Japan will consequently continue
to occupy Port Arthur and Wei
Hai-Wei until the whole indemni-
ty shall have been paid.
Japan will thus be compelled to
look to Russia for counsel and
guidance, which Is a result that
was never expected in Berlin when
the action of Russia, Germany and
France was arranged.
The present danger is that the re-
lations between Russia and Ger
many may become less cordial
than ever.

MANCHESTER COTTON REVIEW.
MANCHESTER, June Is. The
Guardian in its commercial article
says:
"The expected improvement after
the Whitsuntide holidays has not
been realized. The market has
been sluggish but producers are
firm in consequence Of the steadi-
ness of cotton. Buyers will not
raise their limits and dealers in
India are determined to resist an
advance in prices. Transactions are
limited mostly to specialties. Many
manufacturers are badly in want
of orders, but buyers are waiting
news of the over due monsoon be-
fore making purchases. There is
some China inquiry and sales are
good In shirtings, sheetings, fin
ished goods and specials, but the
mere mention of the terms has pre-
vented the acceptance of much bus
mess. There have been some pur-
chases in South America. Yarns
are slow but firm"
