NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Lifting

Cosden and Sinclair opened frac-

but these stocks were supplied TO
the market SO freely that prices

LONDON, Sept. 20 Russia Is
recovering declared F. L. Bald
win. brother of the prime minister,
who has recently returned from
trip of business investigation in
Russia.
ut is going to be slow business,
the recovery of Russia, but I am
very hopeful" said Baldwin. "A
single bad harvest might upset
everything, Of course, but there Is
a good sporting chance.
"The thing that strikes me is
the extraordinary way with which
the Russians are struggling with
the financial situation. They are
cutting down their expenditures
very heavily and pushing up their
taxes. In fact, they fear they have
nut their taxes up too high ana
that they may have to bring them
down again.
StabiIizing the CIlervOnetz.
"Incone taxes range from "a
per cent to 20 per cent, and they
have placed a tax of about 8 per
cent on the turnover of the bust
ness community, which seems to
be the equivalent of our corpora
ton profit tax.
"The Russians are trying to es'
tablish their currency on cher
vonetz basis. A chervonetz is the
equivalent of our pound.
"In the promotion Of Russian
trade the Soviet government Is
subordinating everything else to
the development of agriculture.
"They would like to import a lot
of agricultural machinery, for their
processes are stilp very primitive.
We saw people. cutting corn with
hand-sickles during our journey
from Moscow 10 Petrograd.
"But even their imports of agri-
cultural machinery would be held
down by their. policy of maintain.
ing a favorable trade balance.
Need Agricultural Machinery.
IF they had any money to spend
abroad, which at the moment they
have not, they would spend it first
on agricultural machinery, then or
the repair of rolling stock and rail
ways, and then on such things al
saw-milling plants and mining ap
paratus.'
Baldwin said that very few OF
the Moscow population looked pov
erty stricken and everybody seem
ed to be working. The change from
| state to private control IS nov
well advanced, he said.

Gilmore was unable to maintain his
advantage and shortly dropped be-

Since both Gilmore and Hoover are
quick on the getaway, critics look
for one of the fastest races in the
history of amateur rowing and a
new record for the first quarter is
considered likely.
