How expeditiously pod satisfactorily this difficult work has been pers formed is proved by the testimonials which have been received from the different com. moderes and Naval Yard officials,
Mr. Kawashima says that the bank has bee compelled by force of circumstance to take the courie adopted. At first the trade in raw! cotton was chiefly in the hands of Chinese merchants, but as the spinning indurry dave- taped spinoers took upon themselves the direct import of raw cotton from India and America, and the trade is now almost entitely in the MR.

In addition, the importation of machinery and other merchandise continues to increase readily eas after year, and the cos of a large part of such goods is also defray ed by means of drafts on the Specie Bank Yet, says Mr. Kawashima, while the import of good continues so large, the money at the disposal of the bank is timited, and the funds to conduct an enormous business would hardly be sufficient if all the reservos and deposits were added to the capital and used in this form of banking only.
