With the development of Japanese commercial and industrial activity. in China, says the Japan Chronicle. Japanese banks bave also been ex- pool. tending their operations in China. The Japanese authorities apparently attach much importance to the deve-Francisco, with mail. Lpment of banking operations in China, and it will be remembered that two years ago the Government proposed to establish a Sino-Japanese Bank with a capital of Y.20,000,000 with the object of facilitating com- merce in Middle. China, and also a Bank of Manchuria with a capital | of Y.10,000,000 to make investments An immovable property in Manchuria. The proposal was not realized in its entirety, the actual outcome being the establishment last year of the Sino-Japanese Chartered Bank of Excharge.
On the other hand, continues the Kobe paper, the Yokohama Specie,] Bank, the Bank of Korea, and the Bank of Formosa, all semi-official banks, have been doing their best to extend their operations in China. Since taking over from the Yoko- hama Specie Bank the right of issuing gold notes in Manchuria last year, the Bank of Korea has been parti- cularly active in that direction, and ir now has offices in Antung, Mukden, Changchun, Harbin, Newchwang, Port Arthur, and other places.
Though the Yokohama Specie Bank has transferred the issue of
gold notes to the Bank of Korea, this does not signify any slackening of its activities. On the contrary, the transfer has been effected "in order to facilitate the respective operations of the two institutions, and as a matter of fact, the Yokohama Specie Bank has been redoubling its éfforts inextending exchange business in China, its branches now existing in Peking, Shanghai Newchwang, Tairen, Mukden, Tientsin, Chang- chun, Harbin, and in a few other places in Manchuria.
The Bank of Formosa is assuming the role of the exchange bank for South China, and recently the Huanan Bank under joint Sino-Japanese management, was established with a capital of Y10,000,000, with head- quarters in Taipeh and branches in Singapore and a few other places in the South Seas. The mission of this bank is to aid the development of Sino-Japanese trade in the south of China and in the South Seas.

It is the only disinfectant fluid that has been used by the British Navy, at all its hospitals and other shore establishments, as well as on board the vast number of men of war and other ships under its control.
It was specially mentioned in the Times of November 21 last. in the description of the arrival of the first lot of surrendered German submar- ines, which came into port in a very insanitary condition; they had to be cleansed and disinfected at once with Azal
