INTERESTING FIGURES,

Reports that the failure of the Banque Industrielle de Chine may have an injurions effect on other French banks operating in China it Paris, anxiety, cause some
more week. the in mail because the public confidence has been already shaken. For it is 'well known that many depositors will be ruined if an arrangement is not come to authorising the withdrawal. of funds. Little is known in, Paris concerning the reports froni London that French commercial farms in China had been warned by their Paris agents to withdraw their 'de- posits before June 30 last, and that, having done so, they have sustained little loss. The balance-sheet of the failing bank was submitted to the ordinary shareholders' meeting on June 25. A report by the auditors was annexed to the balance-sheet, bath being made out up to Dec. 31. 1920, and therefore audited six months before the accounts deposited at the Tribunal de Commerce, cr l'ourt of Commercial Pless, in support of the petition lor à réglement tran- sactionnel." Ilere are a few figures which may give some idea of the situation. without going into a mass of details:
The credit account on December $1. 1919, stood at 1,690,775,753f, and in the following year the credit ac- the sum of count increased to 1,548,949.731f.. while both rears the debit account stood at the same figure as the credit account of the same year. This balance-sheet is only of documentary interest on account of the impossibility of fixing the final or temporary losses in figures. because on the changes that have taken place since the closing of the financial statement in the situation of the debtor and the companies in which the bank is engaged. Yet frora ore your to the other certain- Imodifications in the books are shown' in the balance-sheet. Some accounts; have been disconnected. Credit cur-1 rent accounts are valued as accounts at sight and deposit accounts. The same mutation occurs for loan ac- ccunts and other credit accounts. Some new accounts are entered in the books, such as bills of receipts and expenditure and joint accounts for collection. The capital has been doubled during the financial period under review. Under this head of, receipts and expenditure an increase occurs in the entry termed "share"; holders," and also a sum is inscribed amounting to 24,650,000f., against 900,000, in 1919, forming the special reserve termed the premium of issue. The most striking changes since the last financial year consist in a further sum of 182,000,000f. entered under receipts and expenditure, security certificates and joint accounts.
