The apparent disposition OF Russia
TO renew trade with the outsids
world and the fact that at least one
Of the principal trading countries OF
Europe has opened it's doors to such
trade lends interest to some figures
compiled by the National City Bank
Of New York as to Russia's trade
past, present. and prospective.
While no official trade figures OF
the Soviet government are available.
II Is possible, says statement by
the bank, to- at least get glimpse
az to what has been happening In
this line down to the end of 1920.
Official trade figures Of few OF
the principal commercial nations
show their respective records OF
trade with Russia down to q very
late date. Curiously their total is
not so much below that of the year
preceding the war as might be ex-
pected and shows an aggregate OF
their trade with Russia In 1920 only
about 25 per cent below that OF 1918.
Trade of the United States with
Russia In 1920, according to our
own official figures. aggregated In
1920 approximately $40. 100000 against
$50. 600, 900 in 1918; that OF Great
Britain with Russia, S247000.000 In
1920 as compared with $330.OOO. 600
In 1913; Japan nearly $10,OO0.OO0 In
1920 against $3,000.000 in 1913. and

ExPLODEs GLOOM's PREDICTIONS.
Secretary Mellon exploded many
gloomy predictions by announcing that
income and profit tax receipts ex-
ceeded the estimated half-billion by
N65 900. 900. q statement rich in en-
couragement from many points of
view.
Amicable reduction of packing
house wages has stimulated hopes
that the railway employees will act
sensibly and not attempt to tie up
the nations transportation when their
wages are reduced.
The Arm stand taken by three Cabi-
net members in the packers case is
interpreted in financial and business
circles as demonstrating that the
Government authorities recognize the
imperative need for readjusting
wages as part of the painful but in
escapable process preliminary to the
revival OF activity and prosperity.
At many other plants. including
harvester. automobile, textile and
those of independent steel companies.
lower wage scales have been accepted
without precipitating trouble.
Financial and Industrial leaders
consequently view the labor outlook
with less apprehension.

BUILDING RESUMPTION.

Resumption Of building operations
is reported from various points, and
should become a potent factor in stim-
ulating better feeling.
The largest producers of copper

Quantities at IL cents a pound 1t
Is coming to be thought that bot
tom has at last been touched In this
industry.
No one dares predict what may
happen in Europe, as the German
lmbroglio contains combustible ele-
rlents.
At home. however, we are un-
Guestionably moving towards i'm
provement. Obstacles-serious obsta-
cles-still strew the road leading to
prosperity, among the most serious
being the apprehension over the
railroad situation and the outlook in
the steel industry.
But such obstacles should and
doubtless will be removed.
Then we should enjoy much great
er activity in business and much
fuller employment, at prices and
wages which will prove very much
more stable and dependable than
those brought about by the hectic
war boom.
