Strictly speaking, the great fair OF
Mini Novgorod constitutes a combl-
nation or congeries of several markets
whose terms OF activity are not recess
sarily concurrent. Thus the first mar
ket to do business is that for textile
goods, lasting approximately from July
2s till the beginning OF August Told

market, which runs from about August
20 to early September. The thir is the

ingiy. II has to be borne In mind that
the Mini Novgorod fair Is not only q
place for the conclusion Of CONNER
cial transactions: It is also center
for the delivery Of goods against

the settlement of bills Of exchange.
This circumstance affords another
Incentive to attendance at the fair In
order to receive payment from In.
Vulnerable smnll clients-a task which
the banks are not in position sntis-
fnctorily to discharge. Again, did
firms remain away from the fair. their
absence would tend TO engender
doubts as TO their stability. and In
this manner undermine their credit
with provincial customers.

venient rendezvous for both buyer and
seller. The former is nearer to the lat

Undoubtedly the impression left
upon nm unprejudiced student Of Mr..
Wilson'S public career II that Of q
wavering. shifting personality, ever
seeking line Of least resistance. His
innumerable changes Of mind on I'm
portant questions point inevitably to
a sacrifice Of principle In favor Of
political expediency. More significant
stiIl have been his direct surrender to
dictatiOn from special interests. His
well-known reliance upon unoflicinl ad-
