POSSIBILITIES IN SIBERIA.. From the Commercial Intelligence Department of the Board of Trade our representative learned that American, Danish, and German manufacturers are more Brmly planted in Siberia, which is growing rapidly in importance in agricultural and manufacturing indus tries than the British, The Danes and Americans have worked wonders in two branches of agriculture in the country, The Germans everywhere in Russia give proof of their capacity to study and adapt their ways and wares, to the requirements of the inhabitants. The Swedes share with the Danes the market for dairy accessories. The French have met something of the demand for fancy goods and toilet articles, the Belgians for guns and the Assyrians for scythes and sickles

ENGLAND AS SIBERIA'S CUSTOMER.

As the main purchaser of Siberian butter and eggs, the most valuable of the exported products of the country, which is thus enriched to the extent of some $10,000,000 annually, Great Britain for the most part furnishes the funds that enable the Siberian pensants to provide themselves in ever-increasing abundance with separators and dairy appliances--not from Great Britain, but, from other countries. The British manufacturer at present supplies to Siberia little nothing in exchange for the supplies of butter, and eggs

The faults of British manufacturers are, it was pointed out, that they do not realise the local conditions in Biberia, fail to make suitable articles, and do not push their wares. At a Government sawmill in Central Siberia British sawe were tried, and ultimately rejected, because, though good, they could not withstand the 30 or 40 degrees of frost that prevail there in winter. They were replaced with German saws, specially tempered for the cold climate
