WAR ON GERMAN TRADE.
RUSSIA'S . DETERMINATION. | MARKETS FOR EVER CLOSED. London', February 16. Discussing the economic aspects of the war, the Russian Minister for Finance, in an interview with the Paris Matin, said: "We must not be obliged after the war is ended to pay a sort of indemnity to the Germans by leaving open to them the mean? of recouping themselves at our expense in our markets. Germany having demolished the factories of Belgium, Poland and North France, perhaps thinks she can force us to buy her goods, as we cannot manufacture them ourselves. Let her be quite sure of the fact that our markets are closed to her for ever." GERMAN MILLS IDLE. NO MATERIAL AVAILABLE. London, February 16. Private advices from Germany state that the cotton and jute mills in the largest manufacturing centres have been closed owing to lack of material.
