RUSSIAN MILLERS.

Flour Markets.

Ahey Are EndeavorIng to Capture Our
Flour Markets.
RUSSIAN millers have decided to
make a determined effort to capture
some of the great flour markets of the
world. In welcoming the members of
the milling trade at the congress of
nour mlllers, which was opened at st.
petersburg on Jan. rs and remained in
session for about eight days, NJ. Kov-
lovsky remarked that the minister of
nnance trusted that the main item on
the agenda would not be lost sight of.
He referred to the most practical way
OF promoting the export of flour from
Russia. Grain was precious raw ma
terlal, and was one of the richest of
the empire, but the country would new
er reap the full value of it's harvests
until some means could be found of
utilizing all the grain raised by the
native farmer. That, he said, might
be asking very much, but it was the
ideal to keep before them, which they
should never lose from their sight The
government is backing the enterprise,
and will make reduction in transport
alton rates to assist in its accomplish
ment. The query at the convention
was: If the United States could do so
well why not they? True they saw that
the United States enjoys advantages
which have not fallen to the lot of Rus
STA, but on the other hand, Russia en-
joys three advantages which the Unit
ed States have not, referrieg to the
excellence of their raw material, to the
cheapness Of labor and to the proxim-
ity of their foreign markets. Before
the Americans managed to make their
-four known in the markets of Europe
millions of dollars were spent in the
aggregate, and Russia feels that if their
millers were determined to make such
sacrifices, that they, too, would reap
a reward similar to that of the millers
of the United States.
