The Jil Jih publishes the following official explanation of the closing of the Vicoroy's bank at Tientsin
"On account of the led state of trade in the city, and the scarcity of speck and cash, also because the cash was so bad, I tried to find ways and means to relieve the Enancial situa. tion, and I opened the Offein! Bank in order to draw money from the province. I also sent officials to closely investigate any eras of falas coinage. Now there is eers money in the place, and the banks promise to go on all right. and the police have been strictly warned not to allow any money to be exported. There is therefore no longer any need for my bank and it was consequently elcard on the 1st, 2nd Moon. The daily rate of exchange will here after be regulated by the native banks and posted up, and not be controlle! by me. Any notes of the Gificial-Bank-still in-circulation will be duly cashed.”
It is perhaps almost superfluous to comment on the above, says the Peling and Tientsin Timer It bears the stamp of failure too clearly to need emphasis. His Excelency bas, we fear, to learn to take corefal thought on many points on which he acts on impulse. As if to point the mors to the story, we read in the native papers that another prominent native tank has closed. Maiters could hardly be much worse than they appear now.
