 Russian Banker on American Trade.
 met the director of one of the big Russian banks during visit to the Mos COW stock exchange and had chat with him about our trade prospects in Siberia and Russia. He says that the openings are good, but that the business should be done with a big capital and on big scale and with agents who understand the country and the languages. "A part of the trade here" said the banker, is with the government and your agents should be diplomats as well as financiers. They need money to spend and should dress and entertain in good style. At present the English and Germans are>do- ing what they can to capture the trade. but the Englishman is behind the times and he will not change, the German is ready to change and does SO to suit every demand, but he Is too tricky and cheese pairing. If you can mix your American brains and methods with those of the German you will have the right combi- nation to get the trade of this great em- pire."
 Manchuria in 1908.
 have just received a report from the finance department, at whose head is Mir. Witte, the right hand of the czar. con- corning Manchuria as it is this year 1903. The land Is but little known, ana the greater part of it has not been prospected by white men. Even the Chinese opera tons have been restricted on account of the brigands who infest the mountainous regions, and most of the cities are con- troled by the Manchus.
 According to this report Manchuria is twice as big as Japan, and 1t has a popu- lation of about 100000, consisting of Chinese, Manchus, Coreans and semi savage tribes somewhat like those found in Siberia. There are altogether about 900 Manchus. They live in the towns and are chiefly engaged in the Chinese army or the Chinese civil service. Some of them are farmers, living chiefly in the northern provinces. There are about 50,- 900 Coreans, who, like the Manchus, are largely Buddhists.
 The bulk of the population is Chinese. some of the provinces being entirely in- habited by them. This is so of the south ern part of the country, to which the Chinese have been emigrating for the past 15O years.
