AMERICA’S RUSSIAN TRADE. That Country Now Demands Almost Everything American. New York, Dec. 6.—Enoch Emory, a wealthy merchant of Russia, who 35 yeais ago left hie home in the fish ing town of Gloucester to engage 11 business with a native merchant In a Siberian town at the mouth of the Amoor river. Is In this city. He now maintains storehouses at Vladivostok and along the Amoor river, at differ ent points ui-on Lake Baikal and the Transslberian road at Moscow, at St. Petersburg and In Hamburg. He de clares the Russian trade demands everything American from a steel twin screw steamer to an American shoe. "What the United States and Rus sia need now and must have,” contln ued Mr. Emory. "Is a new commercial treaty. Two countries, each of which has ihe warmest and friendliest feel ing for the other, have not tfine to bicker over sugar, oil or anything else. There is a country that nods our ma chinery and our products of every sort. The peoplo want it from us rather than from any other country of the world, and w« should arrange ft so that we could supply them. We must have a reciprocal treaty, and get into Russia on the ground floor, and the control of the trade of as empire of 130.000,0(50 people and soon to be the wealthiest country in the world would be ours. "There to no doubt of Russia's atti tude toward thto country. We have no better frland on the continent. The tariff raised against the United States not long ago because of th* attitude toward Russian sugar Is only an Incl dent. I am confident It would not last a month longer than th* beginning of negotiations.” NEW C-CUBLE TRACK. Three Roads to Enter SL Joseph from Kansas City. Et. Joseph, Mo.. 1 >«•■•.
