 "Women from dressmaking and mil iinery shops. for example, said he,

U. s. TRADE WITH
 RUSSIA SURPRISES
 ALL OTHER POWERS

PETROGRAD, Correspondence or the Associated Press)-During the past year, the United States led the world among nations trading with Russia. Complete figures of Russia 8 imports for 1916 are not yet available. but it is believed that they will show that approximately half of Russia's total imports came from the United States
 The import figures are always given out separately for European Russia and Asiatic Russia. For the first eight months Of 1916. the imports into European Russia were as follows: from Great Britain 2O1, ,5O0. 900 roubles. from the United States. 1S0,50o. .000: from France 6S.500,0OO roubles: from Japan, 2S,500,000 roubles By way Of Siberia. the following additional i'm portations were received, these fig ures, however. being for seven months. from Great Britain, 51 ,000, GOO roubles: from United States. 236.0O0. 900 rou- bles; from Japan III, 100000 r6lbles.
 On basis of these figures, the total for the year may be roughly estimated as follows for the whole of Russia: From United States, 67O,OOO,0O0 rou bes; from Great Britain. 390, ,O0O, ,OOO roubles; from. Japan 22O,0O0,OO0 rou- bles.
 Apparently these figures do not in clude war materials consigned direct to the Russian government
