A valued correspondent, callà our attention to the rumour that Russia, too, I actually thinking of establishing a gold basis for her currency. This, | he remarks, is almost laughable con aldering that her present actual currency is an almost inconvertible paper rouble with comparatively little silver behind it. Where will Russla get the berowlihal to purchase the gold with which to established such currency? She has stores of gold in the Urals and in Siberia, but they would be but a sop in the pan. If she tries to borrow the gold the result will be just what is happening now in America.

the enormous issue of paper money. The war debt may not be intended to be paid in gold. but the silver yin on which the notes arenity, or other advantages: based, have been exported to the Straits by the million in-the-last nine months partly as regular financial transactions to equalize the balance of trade, but partly also to pay for the sums due in Europe by↑ the Government for war stores, etc. If, therefore, Japan had not got the prospec- tive Incoming of the Chinese indemnity her paper currency would by now have droppped to a big discount or the silver ym would have reached a great premfum and the result would have been that they would have had to borrow in Europe as a temporary measure or refrain from paying cash for their notes on demand, as they do at the present.
