the Sherman law or TO offer any
amendment thereto In the interests OF

England is being driven out OF the
market of Central Asia by Russia, ac-
cording to French magazine. The
article referred 10 Is summarized in
part as follows: 4 marked increase
is noted In the. commerce Of British
India with ,khorassau. In 1867 the
value OF the English exports from
Bombay to Mashed was only some
$437 600. less than half that OF the pre-
cedlng year. This condition OF affairs
Is explained as follows. The customs
regulations in force along the whole
extent OF the transcaspian frontier
prohibits, the entrance OF European and
British-Iudia goods to the markets
OF Central Asia, with the exception Of
tea. muslin, indigo, spices, Indian
shoes, precious stones and coral. and
these articles are subject to high du-
ties. Russia has succeeded in having
these articles exported by way of
Batum. thus aiding the Trans-caspian
railway. The government of the czar
is trying to monopolize the commerce
of Eastern and Southern Persia. Sub
sides are granted to traders. good
roads nave Utcn iiiaut III tue tEaHsCas-
plan territory, consular agents are in
stalled in several districts of Khoras-
san, and the emigration OF Russian
merchants to different parts OF the
province is encouraged. The Russian
merchants have penetrated almost to
the frontiers of India, SO that where
the English should be masters OF the
markets. mostly Russian goods are
sold. The Russian government is also
paving Russian manufacturers boun-
ties SO large that the goods can be
placed on the Central Asia market at
cost OF manufacture, thus driving out
Foods made in India. The building
by Russia OF the Trans-caspian rail-
way has given that country an i'm
mense advantage.
