BILE, up-to-date American system. Even
the Franco alliance does not guarantee

Odessa gave an American firm an order
for the piping for the construction of her

The English. following the example of
the Germans have gone about the work
of securing Russian orders in business
like manner. They publish a Russian
business paper at Moscow, and give pur-
chasers six months or year In which
to settle their bills.
American business men seem content to
rely on the eXertiOns of the various con-
sular agents. for 1t is only through the
influence of their Minister at St Peters
burgh that any progress has been made
toward holding the proposed machinery

national exposition at St PetersburSh in
