cost of transactinQ business 90 the basis
of New York Exchange. Tie change,
it is pointed out is relieving bushes from
the payment of heavy cable tolls and
saving the considerable tine consumed
in clearing checks and drafts on The
United States. The dollar, these writer's
say, is being viewed now as an expen-
sive financial yardStick and therefore it
is being blamed for much of the econ0-

Siberian Timber
Trade StOpS

Naladostock Siberia. Dec 29.-The
timber trade of the Primoria, one of
its greatest assets. bringing an ans
nual revenue of one million gold
rubleS to previous governments has
come to a standstill since the Soviet
took over the administration of this
province. AS a result of concession
given to foreign firms. chiefly Japan
csc, there being no Russian capital
available, exports of timber reached
$4,000, ,000feet in 1921 and promised to
be even greater this year when the
Government cancelled all concessions
and imposed taxes. and conditions
which made export impossible and
Improbable.
The concessions covering over
million acres which have been can
celled were confined to the Straits
of Tartary.
Not only has the Soviet annulled
the concessions but it has demanded
that the concessionaries shall pay to
it stumpage on cut timber, which
they had already paid to the previous
Government. AS a result logging
camps and mills have closed down,
and there were no bidders for con-
cessiOns recently offered at public
auction.
A timber merchant discussing the
situation said: 1.-The nearest markets
for the sale of timber are China and
Japan, and these countries take from
70 to 80 million cubic feet year
from America, which naturally fixes
the market price of timber. Instead
of developing exports by reducing the
price for telling and for railway
transit: instead of the abOlishment of
export taxes and reducing for load
ing i.c. for the cheapening of Russian
timber in order to compete with
America, the actions of the local
authorities are directed in raising
it's price First the price for telling
timber, which was already high, has
been increased by 10 to IL per cent,
for the purpose of clearing areas
over which the timber has been cut.
AS a result of this and the increased
demands of labor the cost of laying
down a log in Kobe is S0h sen. This
log sells in Kobe from 20 to 80 SEN
The same applies to fishing conces'
