MONEY MARKET
IN CANTON
Less Remittances From Overseas
Canton, Oct. 7. President Roosevelt's policy to increase the value of silver has a bad effect on the currency situation in Canton. As the standard of value here is silver coins, there has been smuggling of twenty-cent pieces from here to foreign coun tries, particularly. the United
Stater.
The embargo on silver coins. which limits export by individual to the extent of $20 each time. prevents the exodus of silver to some degree. There is no such re- striction in coastal ports such as Foochow, Swatow, and Amoy. These porta send large amount of silver to Hong Kong for export,
Canton's money market is tight owing to the decreasing remit tances from overseas Chiness. The Chinese silk export is not doing well at all. This crisis is aggravat- ed by the increasing imports, and decreasing exports. Foreign goods are in better demand owing to the high prices of silver and low price of sterling or gold dollar.
To prevent confusion itt the money market, the Provincial De- partment of Finance has prohibit- ed the issue of promisory notes and bills of exchange in Canton and Swatow. This paper money
cannot be redeemed at times by the
drawers or makers and quflicts with the interest of government
banknotes.
