ever,

as the Balkan States suddenly reopened hostilities, the official rate of the Bank of France was maintained at per cent, as fixed in October of last year, and the Deutsche Reichsbank at a per cent. In America the political pro- gramma of the Democratic Government, notably the Customs tariff proposals and trust questions, has dealt a sharp blow to works which originated and made Government, with the result that con- much progress ander the Republican mercial and industrial lenders have become somewhat bewildered, and as they have suspended the establishment of new undertakings, dullness has prevailed in business

circles. Moreover, being influenced by the caution exercised in European markes, the amount of gold bullion shipped for Europe from America the term reached about during $100,000,000, as a result of which the money market became tight and the rate of interest rose, while the share market was generally in a very depressed condi- tion. It appears that the raw silk market was greatly affected by the lasting strike at Patterson. Speaking of the Orient,, the transportation of various Indian agricultural products was very favour able, while foreign trade was also very active, the export of raw cotton to Japan being especially brisk. The northern part of China wes in no way affected by the political disputes between the North and

Before concluding my speech, I have to lay a report before you. The China loan contract, which had long been pending, was concluded and signed on the 20th April of this year between the Chinese Government and the group of bankers of the five Powers of Great Britain, Ger many, Russia and Japan, and the loan was floated at London, Paris and Berlin. During June of this year an Imperial Ordinance providing for issue of gold notes in Kwangtung was promulgated, and by virtue of this Ordinance the Baak has decided to issue gold notes in Man- churla, in addition to the silver notes already issued in the past, and is now making preparations to this end. Since September of last year the Changchung agency of the Bank, only in the season when agricultural products were to be brought to the market in abundance, daily despatched members to the railway the business of customers, but, inasmuch as the number of Japanese residing in have left the Godowns, the railway zou as well as the nature of occupations has since increased, the agency was, in August of this year, arranged so that business can be transacted at any time.
