MORE GOLD THAN NOTES
IN FRANCE
The Bank of France is now in the remarkable position of holding more gold than there are notes in circu- lation. The latest return shows that the former now amounts to about £660,000,000, while the latter only reaches something over £012,000,000, America's gold cover for note circu- lationis nearly 97 per cent. The Bank of England's gold cover re- presenta only 30 per cent. of the notes, while in Germany the pro- portion is only 25.7 per cent.

The main contributing factor in the increased cotton trade is the fall of the yen exchnuge which en- ables Japanese spinners and weavers to maintain their markets in India, South Africa and the Near East. The increase for sundry goods is partly due to the relaxation of the boycott movement in China, parti- cularly along the Yangtze River; and partly to the seasonal demand in Central China.
