cations have been made and granted
for the construction of two more large
oneg. and by the middle Of 1904 ten
mills will be in operation, producing
25 900 pools (9O2,s00 pounds) Of -four
per 5ay. They pay from thirty TO
thirty-fve cents gold a bushel for
their wheat delivered at the mills,
and the wheat producing area can be
increased enormously. The present
value of the -four mills in Harbin is
200 600 rubles (s6lS,OO0)
In the immediate vicinity Of Har

The Russian Vodka.
The next industry of importance is
the production of the Russian liquor,
vodka. There are eight manufactures,

vodka from spirits of wine and sugar
brought from Russia; some produce
only the spirits of wine from the To-
cal wheat while others produce their
spirits from local wheat and the vod
ka from their own manufacture OF
lspirits The consumption of vodka in
Harbin alone is 900 vedro (2,707 gal
lons) per day, and the consump' ion
throughout Manchuria is something
enormous. In Russia the production
is very readily taxed and it costs ter
rubles (s5.15l per vedro (27O7 gal
