JEWISH BANKERS AND RUSSIAN FINANCE.

A corospondence of the Jewish Chroniele writes:The Russian loans have not been sue. the corsful This has been brought about by abdeation of most important bonses in Loudon and other largo centres of commercé refusing to hare anything to do with Raseinu finance so long as the Jews remain in a position of in- equality in Russia. A representativo of the Russian Government in London was entrusted with approaching influential Jewish houses in this city. The reply was to the effect that no conditions could be made for the purpose of ad- wancing money, but that an alteration in the situation of the Jews must be precedent to any negotiations baring this object. It was sug- gested that if Russia was disposed to fall in with the views of the Jewish bankers, the Jews should, as a preliminary measure, be at once granted freedom of residence all over Russia, from which it could be seen that the Rain Government was in earnest. The same auswor was given in Paris.

This one also had a good word to say for the taipan, as follows My experience of taipaus and employers is that they very seldom ask, anything unreasonable of young fellows, for after all they were the youngsters of yesterday. and it they see that a youth keeps his place and exhibits elementary common-sense in his private affairs they are all the more willing to reccguisa this in due course when promotion to a vacancy has to be arranged, and this is not ouly a reward to the junior but a good investment for the taipan.
