LITHUANIA AND TRADE.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

hope to interest you in the prospect of good business in Lithuania. My country is most agricultural ; thus we have to buy almost everything, from needles up to agricultural machinery. Since we got rid of German paper currency and have a seaport, Memel, we are in a condition to look for better markets than Germany. Of course, our merchants have more acquaintance with the German firms, and there they could buy on credit, but I think that the English firms can interest our merchants with their manufacturing produc- tions better than do the German firms. Many German firms have their representative offices in Lithuania. I think it would pay your business men to do the same. It is neces- sary to have only a good faith, and a good business will be possible to develop between Lithuania and Great Britain.—
