trade tends to expand at leading
Western and Eastern jobbing CEN
tres. Cross currents are visible I'm
different industries. Thus, while
finished cotton fabrics are in de-
mand and some marks, notably
bleached goods, have been further
advanced. there are reports Of small
er demand and lower prices for cot
ton yarns. In wooden goods, while
high-grade worsted and fine wooden
fabrics sold we'll, other grades are
slower of sale. and there is talk OF
accumulation. In the leather trade
there is more life than of late. and
good quality leather and hides are
on better sale. as are also high-class
shoes. Low grades are slower OF
sale, and Eastern shipments so far
are per cent. behind 1905 In
iron and steel the lack of new buy

RUSSIA ABIOEs BY VERDICT
No War of Revenge With the
Japanese.

st. Petersburg (By Cable) The
text of the Russo-Japanese treaty
recognizing the independence and
territorial integrity of the Chinese
Empire and pledging the two coun-
tries to the maintenance OF the
status quo, which was signed on
July 80 last, was made public Friday
and was we'll received on all sides.
In their estimate of the results the
Conservative and Liberal newspapers
display remarkable unanimity in
agreeing that it establishes the re-
lations between the two papers on
a sound basis, guaranteeing unbrok-
en- peace for a long period.
The Novoe Vremya expresses the
opinion that the treaty is the turn
ing point in Russia's Asiatic policy
enabling her to shift her attention
hereafter to nearest Russia, after
having carefully weighed the argu-
ments in favor of waging a return
war for the recovery of the lost
ground in Manchuria and having I'm
ally decided to accept the situation
as it is, abandoning all idea of a
war of revenge.
The Rossia characterizes the treaty
as a link in the chain of interna-
tional agreements removing the mem
ace of war in the Far East
Toxic (By Cable) 1t is believed
here that the Russo-Japanse treaty
includes a clause which has not been
published, specifically defining the
respective spheres of influence of the
two countries. Under this clause it
Is reported that a portion of the
Sungari River is placed within Jap
ans sphere, thereby modifying the
exclusive rights of navigating that
stream which was conferred upon
Russia by the treaty of Aigun.

To understand the mechanism Of this

that the telegram 1t is intended to dis
patch is written In advance on a type
writing machine, which, instead of re-
lcording letters, writes down aiseries OF
perforations. This perforated paper,
placed in the transmitting apparatus,
according to tho position and the size OF
tho holes, let's pass currents more or
less long which follow each other At
the other end of the telegrahpic wire
these tcurrents set in.lmotion a mirror
before which is placed a luminous ray.
The ray reelected from the mirror fall

L In order to inscrlbe sounds and

movable mirror to vibrate, and the lum-
nous rays representing the acoustic VI
