AMERICAN TRADE WITH
THE CZAR'S DOMINION
ADMIRE YANKEE INVENTIONS
Harvesting Machinery and Farming
indictments in Demand-A Market
for Steam Fire Engines.

Many interesting facts have been
brought to light concerning American
trade with Russia in the report OF Consul
General Holloway at ST. Petersburg. In
his interesting communication he says:
Russia occupies an area over S.oOO.OO0
square miles, with a population of 1885,
OOO. 900. sc. 900, 600 of whom are farmers.
This country certainly commands the
attention of the leading manufacturers
and exporters of the United States.
There is a general desire on the part
of Russian merchants and dealers to make
connections with American manufacturers.
Russian agents object to dealing through
an agent in London or Hamburg, and very
much prefer to deal directly with the
home company.
English firms give a credit of from
nine to twelve months, the buyer usually
accepting draft payable at London
bank, without interest, that being includ-
ed in the price.
THE custom of German firms, where
money is very cheap, is to give SIX
months credit and frequently from nine
to twelve, while open accounts are COM
mon.
payment at an American bank on the pre-
sentation of bills of lading, which is well
enough for cotton, rosin and such other
cash articles, for which the United States
is the leading market; but where there is
sharp competition from England, Germa-
ny, Austria, Belgium and France, the
terms offered by these countries must be
met TO secure business.
"The Russians have respect and admira-
of tGn A nr1-
cans, and, while conservative, they are al
ways willing and anxious to look into new
inventions from the United States. Cir
culars and catalogues printed in the Eng
lish language are almost useless, as COM
paratively few business men have suffi-
cient knowledge of the, English language
to understand them.
''The surest and best plan to introduce
goods into Russia is to send samples by a
thoroughly competent representative of
the business it is proposed to push, a
knowledge of the Russian language is not
absolutely necessary, as interpreters can
be found in all the leading cities of Rus
Sia.
''St. Petersburg is but twelve days trav-
ell from New York. The facilities for trav-
ell between London, Paris, Hamburg, Bre-
men and St. Petersburg are practically the
same as exist in the United States
Articles of American manufacture, with
the exception of portable and traction en-
gines, thrashing machines and plows, are
preferred to those manufactured in Eng
land, Belgium and Germany, our principal
competitors. On the other hand, there is a
large and increasing trade in all parts
of Russia in American harvesting ma
chinery and farming implements, such as
binders, mowers, reapers, hayrakes, etc.
American plows are very popular in ST.
IBERIA and in the Amur region, one Ameri-
can firm in Moscow having just placed a
$1O,0 900 cash order to supply that trade.
sit is gratifying to know that the COM
mercial relations between the Russians and
the people of the United States We're never
so friendly or strong as today, and they
are growing closer each year, by reason OF

Railroad Tles.

A fact Of some interest In railroad
construction Is the great diversity in
the number of ties used to the mile on
different lines. as well as In the size
and quality Of timber. Thus, accord.
Ing to the construction details of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railway, the number of ties used on
that line is $500 to the mile, three.
quarters Of these being chestnut and
one-quarter oak. while some roads use
1000 only, or $500 to the mile. More
than GO per cent Of the ties are cut 9
feet long, IL per CEN 8 feet and the
rest 81 feet long; the nine foot ties are
used chiefly by the southern and gulf
group Of railroads. where pine timber
Is very abundant and cheap. The New
England roads have their ties cut from
five to six Inches In thickness. while
the southern roads seem to prefer sew.
en- inch ties: the width of the ties like
wise varies from five to six inches In
New England to eight inches In the
central northern and the southern
roads.-New York Sun.

Governor Smith has received notice
from Binger Herma0n, general land
commissioner, that reservation from the
public domain of seventeen townships
situated northwest of Missoula, which
the state wanted surveyed that it might
select lands, had been revoked OH pc.
tition Of the Northern Pacific company.
Governor Smith last July made a re-
quest for a survey of these lands, while
the Northern Pacific. according to Bin

the preceding April. The railway com.

approved last March, to have a prior
right to the lands.
The mayor Of Helena favors the plan

council he said that the contract now
existing between the city and the light
company was illegal, in bis opinion,
and could be disposed Of in the same
manner as the contract with the water
company, formerly litiRated. The
message then went on to speak in gen.
eral terms Of the proposition and the
council voted to have a committee
appointed to make an investigation, as
the mayor had suggested. He figures
out the city would make money by the
proposition and be able to give the Don.
suners good lights at actual cost.
