[YATIMES CORRESPONDENT.]
For some months past the Soviet Government has been renewing its efforts to obtain a commercial footing in the Near Eastern markets. Its trade repre- sentatives were established in Constan- tinople long before the Allied evacuation, but until recenth; the volume of business nchieved by them left much to be desired, Periodient shanges both in "policy and perronnel were made, but it is only Contactively recently that it has been poastble to claim any real progress,
NEW SOYA BEAN TRIUMPH.
FLOUR OBTAINED ALMOST EQUAL TO WHEAT.
IMMENSE POSSIBILITIES..
FARDIN, September 20th. For the last five years the chemists con- nected with Borodin's works have been experimenting with soya beans, trying to discover a dissolver which would make the manufactured oil of the bean taste better.
We have bad for some time, an oil called Acetko, which bas been produced by the Anglo-Chinese Eastern Trailing Ga., and which is very nearly equal to The Bolsheviks, have now embarked salad oil but has a very strong taste. upon a fresh campaign of commercial The Borodin works chemists have, aftor activity, having for its object the dump-long experiments, now produced an oil ing of Tussian produce on the markets of which has a flavour practically the same Turkey, Greece, and Egypt, and second as the best salad oil and in producing arily on those of Italy. Palestine, and this, they made another discovery which Syria. The products with which they are should revolutionise the bean trade. mainly concerned at present are Rassiam cul, oil, and cement. Fully realizing, as they do, that they are faced with formid able competitors in all these products,
The dissolver used by them produces, not a hena cake, but a bean flour. There is nothing new in the use of bean flour as the country people have for years
hut it has a great deal of fatty matter in it and is not pleasant to the palate. The discovery made by the Borodin
the hest wheat flour. Bread baked from this new flour is found to be wholesome and tasty, while the price is about half that of wheat bread. This wonderful new discovery opens up possibilities which can- not at the present moment he estimated.. What will be the demand for soy beans as soon as this new process is brought into operation! Even supposing that it is found better to mix the new flour with wheat, there is not the slightest doubt that the soya bean will be in greater demand than ever.. Manchuria is still a country with uncultivated plains where this wonderful bean can be grown, and this new discovery, means that thousands of neres will come, under, cultivation and there will he still greater trade in the country,
the Bolsheviks hare nevertheless deterground down beans and used such four, nined to carry the market at all costs.
Their first serious attempts were made this summer. A quantity of Novorossisk cement was shipped to Greece, where chemists gives a flour almost equal to
tion of it, at any rate, proved a bad sperdation to the buyers, who found themselves undersold by the Italians.
UNDERSELLING, WELSH COAL The coal question was more carefully studied. The Soviets arranged with Greek group to take up an agency for Russian coal in Greece. The terms were very attractive, and provided for the delivery of regular shipments of Bussian coal from the Ekaterinovsky, Yasniesen- sky, and Rutchenkovsky mines at prices well below those of either Welsh or Ger min raj, This arrangement has not been in force long, but that it might adversely affect Welsh con interests is indicated by a report from Cardiff which appeared in The Times of June #26th. That report stated that Russian coal had heen sold in Greece at 18. d. to 2. ton cheaper than Welsh coal. It added that recent orders for Russian goal, amounting to 40,000 tons, had been hook els in Italy, while, many cargoes had been sent to Greece."
Everybody will watch with the greatest interest the further experiments that the Borodin firm are making so as to improve' their discovery. The CER. gave the frnu a sum of $30,000 to carry on these experiments as they considered them to he of vital importance to the railway.

Having established their agency in Greece, the Bolsheviks are how turning their attention to Egypt and Palestine, where they intend putting their cosi on the market in the same manner as in Greece. They do not propose to open a Russian agency, hut prefer to find some local firm to take up the business on their behalf."

The methods of the company appear It will at first sight somewhat strange. not hesitate to purchase from the Soviels a shipment of cement, coal, or whol, and promptly offer it for immediate sale at a price which is not only below any other price on the market, but entails a clear loss of anything up to 20 per cent. or What the Bolsheviks are doing with even more to the company itself. So far esal they also propose to do with oil the arrangement is peculiar; but there They have already established an or is the other side of the question-the ima ganization in Constantinople with the ports into Russia.
