A. POPULAR FORM OF BROKING.

With reference to previous statements concerning the difficulties of Japanese banks in general, it is interesting to note that these difficulties promise to increase in futuro instead of abating, for things are taking a turn unfavourable for them

Hence both periencing in many respects, the reported Laser and Chuter Mongolia are now under decrease in their deposits and also in It is said that a Bill concerning the the control of General Hsu whose now thair staffs being instances in point. aphere of influence is much larger than Chang Tzo-lin's' feld of operations in extension of the legal sphere of activity Manchuria, and it is reported that, in of trust companies is being prosented to arder to cultivate the vast arable lads, the Dict, and judging by the latest de General Hau favours Chinese immigration Felopments of trust companies, the people interested in this line of business" are inte Mongolia.

now exceedingly jubilant and in fact they have been showing redoubled "activity since the report was put in circulation regarding the presentation of the Bill in question. They are now floating as many companies as possible and that at the greatest possible speed.

Further more, General Hsu has signed an agreement with the leaders of the Bolsheviks for the preservation of China's neutrality, while at the same time, the "Eeds" will not invade Mongolian terri tory. This report should be received with reserve, because it means Russia's recogni- tion of the cancellation of Urga's autonomy which was secured through the the previous consent of Russia. In spite instrumentality of General Hau without of the above report the Chinese are pour ing fresh troops of the Frontier Army into Outer Mengulia for distribution over Kiakhtu, Kobdo, Ulianghai, Uliasutai and Terbakatai for defence against the "Feda."

THE SIBERIAN SITUATION.

HARBIN, February 2nd. If the latest reports from Siberia can be trusted, serious trouble is browing be tween the Reds" and the Social revolutionaries. Both are trying to gain political supremacy. The Chinese Govern ment are not taking chances, and General Chang Tso-lin is despatching a large nume ber of troops to Manchuli and other Sino- Russian frontier points, and trains with Chinese troops are passing through here every day, bound westward General Wu Chun-sheng passed through here yester day en route to Manuchli for the inspect tion of the Chinese Frontier Force. In order to avoid serious collision with the "Reds

the Chinese officials are fra tornising with them.

As might be expected. there are many trust companies whose foundations are very doubtful and ret they go about under the high sounding style of Trust Company though not very trustworthy. It is even said that the number of really substantial en panies does not run to more than two or three out of so many concerns, which have sprung up like bamboo sprouts all over the country since the war. are also very few companies, which are engaged in real trust business, many of then taking no lines of business which do not legally fall under the category of tenst business, although the lateat de velopments are towards a more honest business.
