GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA.
FORMULATING TRADE. It i.s regarded as nut unlikely that a scheme, on the line of the BritishItalian Corporation, will be formulated for the promotion of trade between Great Britain atid Russia. In no country more than in Russia, probably, will Germany, after the war, struggle more fiercely, or with more energy and subtlety to gain her former commercial supremacy. Although she never financed Russian municipal and industrial enterprises
on anything like the British scale, or the French, a very considerable amount of German capital has been invested there in relatively small sums and under the eye of the proprietor. Her merchants, agents, travellers, managers and hankers have swarmed over European and Asiatic Russia, ami have* heretofore exercised an enormous inlluence in determining the direction of commerce. Moreover, her geographical situation lent a natural impetus to trade, exports were concerned by favourable commercial treaties. The former advantage must necessarily remain after the war, but lltc latter will be swept away, and probably will be replaced by prohibitive duties.
