Paris, June 26.-Russia will offer
a fine chance for investments after
the war. France already knows this
field, and has many millions invested
there in railways and industries
which have paid well. Russia's own
savings will give her much of her
own money TO use after the war, and
these savings will be increased by
the reform in the consumption of
alcohol, but she will still need money
from outside.
Her first attention necessarily
must be given to the construction of
new railways-the cost of new rail-
ways already planned in Russia and
Siberia will pass S6O0,000,000. After
that must come subsidiary railways,
canals, roads and the canalization Of
rivers, agricultural projects, irriga-
ton. the manufacture Of chemical
fertilizers and agricultural imple-
ments, mechanical, electrical and
chemical industries, weaving, paper
manufacture, mining and the build
ing Of ports-in fact, all the indus
tries of a great modern civilization.
Regions in which particularly good
opportunities will be found are ST.
IBERIA, Turkistan, the regions of the
Steppes and Northern Russia and
the Caucasus.
The advantages Of placing capital
in Russia will be increased by Sc
ries of legislative reforms, dealing
with corporations, passports, etc, of
which some already have been real
lied, while others soon will be.

This was plainly evident from the &C

For once the ticker lawyers were badly

Will a feeling that the courts findings
would be favorable. Why this impress

~ puzzle now that the decision has
been handed down. Possibly the fact
that carly in the proceedings there was

optimism. Then, too, in some quarters
II was felt that a decision similar TO
that En- the American Can case might
be expected. That decision found the
Can company guilty Of indiscretions in

that over and placed the company on

LIVERPOOL SALES

The cotton market was lower yester-
day, under Liverpool selling and scat
terine liquidation, which seemed TO
come chiefly from Wall Street sources.
After the big advance of last week, the
technical position was evidently easier,
while weakness in the stock market, the
unsettling influence of the Mexican

points.
Liverpool made a relatively steady
showing, and private condition report

Gated deterioration of IL per cent for
the month. These features seemed to
create little fresh buying power, how
ever. and, after opening steady at an
advance of points to decline OF /
point, the market very soon turned
easier. The appearance of Liverpool
selling orders here for the hrst time IN
several weeks attracted considerable at
tentioa as suggesting either a subsld-
ance in the demand from BRUSH I'M
porters or the possibility OF hrmer
turn in the ocean freight situation. OF
ferings were attributed mainly TO Wall
Street longs and the chief factor was
supposed to be the weakness in the
stock market.
There was no change in the general
character of Southern spot news. There
