Mr. Bryan's reference to the banking business in Japan in the course of his recent speech delivered at a meeting of the Japan Economie Society has given an incentive to the Chugai Shogyo to devote an article to the sabject. Our Tokyo contemporary remarks at popular prioca. that Mr. Bryan, pron buyond its refunding that the receiving a bank by a of deposits capacity is dangerous, argued that the foundia- tion of the Japanese banks, generally speaking, is more scand than that of the American institutions, for whereas the total amount of deposits of the latter amounted to thirty times. their capital, that of the Japanese was only twice their capital. The Tokyo journal,however, is at a loss to know whether this statement of Mr. Bryan is to be taken as a word of encouragement to the Japanese bankers or not. It is not at all improbable, the Chugat Shagya continues, that the connection draws by Mr. Bryan between the rufunding power of a bank and the amount of its capital may have beou an expedient dovised by him simply to praise the a proportion with its capital, Japanese banks. The deposite of a bank will and provided that the deposits are employed in not always keep in 3 safe and legitimate manner there can be not times the capital. In short, a bank having the least danger, even if they amount to macy tirees ita capital deposits amounting to raany is not necessarily in as critical a position as a bault in opposite circumstances, whose position may not be at all safe. If the credit of banks is high, and the people who make usa of these are wealthy, the amount of deposits will increase irrespective of the capital. There is no need to stop to inquire whether the American banks are safe or not; the fnat remains that the amount of deposits in America is steadily on the increase. As for Japan it is regrettable that the amount of deposits is very small in comparison with America, as will be seen from the figures given below:
