tention in the event Of the war spread
ing, to seize several Spanish seaports.
Almost all of the armament for these
ships has been obtained from Krupp
of Germany and Canet. of France, but
it will be only short time before all
that pertains to man-of-war will be
manufactured on Russian soil. The
ship-builders OF the world are now as
tonished at the strides apparent in
Russian manufacture, particularly
when it was recently announced that
five 1880 ton battleships and large
number of cruisers were projected for
building at Russian shipyards, thereby
keeping abreast of Great Britain and
America in sea power. This is re-
markable for power which but ten
years ago had but one battleship in
commission outside Of the Black sea;
but still it is in keeping with the de-
termination to keep in front and strive
to realize the dream Of Peter the Great
southern and eastern gateways to the
sea. NICHOLAS J. QUIRK.

THE BRAZILNUT CROP.
Immense Output of Last Year Will
BE More Than Half Taken by
the United States.

The crop of Brazil nuts for the year
1908 has been delivered, and accurate
statistics can therefore be quoted. The
crop will exceed the great crop OF 1902 by
800 tons. The season was q record
breaker in several ways. In the first
place the United States developed an ap-
petite for nuts that was practically In
satiable. Never before were such enor-
NOUS cargoes of nuts shipped as dur
ing this season. All the big orders
went to the United States. The total
shipments of nuts from the Amazon up
to date are 1874 tons. The most con-
servative estimate of the remainder OF
the crop (now in transit) places 1t at
300 tons, a total for the year of 8,OS4
tons, of which the United States has so
far taken 1864 tons and Europe 2,770
-ons. A brief comparison with the ship
ments of previous years will show how
remarkably this branch of the export
trade has developed. The total crop d
1900 was 2,514 tons, of which the United
States took "A per cent; Of 1901, 2,SOs
tons. of which the United States tool
50 per cent; of 1902, 1900 tons, of which
the United States took 55 per cent. The
crop of 1903 is above 5000 tons, Of
which the United States will take about
66 per cent. The strong demand from
the United States has held the market
firm and high throughout the season
Never before has the market been 50
steady and inflexible, but. though rul-
ing above the average, prices have not
been exorbitant and a fair profit has
been afforded to buyers and sellers
alike.

sProftable Investment.

In 1875 it was communicated to the
British government that the Khedive
Ismail Pasha, being in desperate need
Of money, was willing to sell his 176,-
COZ shares OF stock in the Suez Canal
company at fair price. Disraeli was
then premier and he didn't hesitate a
minute. England paid $20,000,000 for
the khedive's holdings, or at the rate
Of $113.60 per share. Since then the
dividends on It's purchase have ag-
gregated $24,0OO,0O0 and to-day the
shares are selling at 500 each. This
shows profit on the transaction OF

Arthur under Admiral Stark.
Admiral Marakoff is widely known
through his marine inventions, having
made many mechanical Improvements
in naval service. His most important
achievement was in the construction
of the famous ice-breaking steamship
"Ermak," whose principle of operation
was borrowed from smaller type OF

So successful was the Russian ship

Cornterfeit Russian Notes.

Manchuria is full Of Russian counter
felt notes, mostly three-ruble notes,
which come from Japan and Shanghai
and are manufactured very skilfully.
They are usually distributed among the
rural population. AS such notes might
depreciate Russian paper money and in
jure Russias credit in Manchuria, strict
orders have been given by financial au-
thorities to take immediate measures to
destroy such notes and to fmprison per-
sons who distribute them.
