Buying and Selling Without Money.
I The difficulties in conducting trades
without money are illustrated In the

I States Trades commission at Riga:
According to current news from So
viet Russia, the Council of the People's
Commissariat ha* established arbl
; trary exchange values for certain com
modities, with one pood (»! .pounds)
of rye gniltjt taken as the basis. It
Is stated that nils move has been made
I necessary by the relntroductlon of
freedom In prlrate trade.
From these arbitrary commodity ex
change values, aa eatabllshed in June.
It appears that one pound of rye
grain Is fixed ai the equivalent of 12
j poods of salt, 25 Jsoods of petroleum,
IL' packages of matches, 8 metul palls,
4 Iron spadea or 6 arahlns (1 arsliln

Coal From Spitsbergen
A few months ago the tlrst Holland
} contingent of engineers and coal
minej-s embarked for -Spltzbergen to
] work the extensive coal properties re
j ceiitly acquired by a group of well
known Holland commercial men The
first cargo of Spltzbergen coal arrived
nt Rotterdam, August 11, direct from
. the mines of the Netherlands Spits
bergen company. Notwithstanding the
high freight rates, It has been siu.wti
that Spltzbergen coal can be laid down
in Holland at • price lower than fliat
paid for English or German run I
V.asy access to the coal beds and eon
iiuinical working of the mines make
these cheaper deliveries to Holland
possible. Enormous amounts of roal
