CHOICE FOR AMERICANS
IN THE RUSSIAN MARKET
Trade Advantages Discussed j,
Handbook Issued by the De-
partment Of Commerce.

The chances for American manufac-
turers and exporters to exploit their
wares in the Russian market are
pointed out in a Handbook on Rus
sia," just published by the Department
of Commerce. The book is really a
text book on trade conditions in the
Russian empire. Russia today presents
a picture Of economic development, 1t
is stated, comparable with that of the
United States of three or four genera
lions ago, in that Russia Is now chief
ly producer Of the raw materials de-
rived from nature, such as grain. tim
Der. hides and minerals. and is just be-
ginning to develop manufacturing in
dustries of Importance. It's exports are
almost entirely foodstuffs and raw and
semi manufactured products, while it
imports nearly all of the higher grades
of manufactures which it's people re-
quire.
Trade of European Russia.
The total value of the foreign trade
Of European Russia, in 1912. according
to official figures, was more than ST.
200,0OO.00O. in which the United States
participated to the extent of only $685.
100000. However, the indirect trade
between the two countries passing
through foreign middlemen brings the
value OF the sales OF American prod
ucts to Russia to $4,000, 600, and the
exports from Russia to the United
States to $3O.00O.000.
Largely owing to the lack of knowledge
among American business men of the pos
sibilities Of the Russian market, the trade
between the two countries Is on the
threshold only of its possible develop
ment. The monograph on Russia just
published by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce of the Department of
Commerce should therefore be of special
interest.
Economic Situation.

A Hat Pin Law.

Coy Foss of massachusetts, has just
signed an act of the legislature imposing
a. fine of 500 upon any woman who
wears a hat pin the point OF which is not
protected in some manner by a shield or
guard to prevent it from doing injury
to other persons. The operation of this
new statute will be watched with inter-
est throughout the country. For a num-
Der of years the hat pin menace has been
the subject of discussion and numerous
attempts have been made to regulate it,
but thus far without any success. Nu-
meroLs proposals have been made to
state legislatures, chiefly TO set a limit
upon the length of feminine hat fasten-
ers The requirement to put a guard of
some kind upon the protruding pin would
seem to meet the needs of the situation
There is no occasion for the dangerously
long pins that are worn in many cases
1t is true that in some instances the hat
crowns are exaggerated SO that long pins
are needful in order to pass through
them, engaging i'm their course the elabo-
rate and in many cases not entirely
