ESTONIAN INDEPENDENCE.

In congratulating the Estonian Republic upon the tenth anniversary of its independence, it is satisfactory also to emphasize the extent of the country's economic recovery during the past decade. It has had many difficulties to contend with, but the official statistics show a steadily improving trade, the turnover of the foreign trade last year exceeding £11,000,000. Great Britain was its chief customer, but in the matter of Estonian purchases imports from Britain apparently came second to those from Germany.
