THE Sourabaya Courant notes that the State of Cotic, in Dutch East Borneo, is now coming inio notice. The climate and sell of the country are found to be not interior to those of Java, as regards tobacco and coffee. A planter, named Kvarts, has made a beginning by getting a con- cession of land from the Sultan of Cotle. He is now preparing the land for the cultivation of tobacco and coffee, both of which are said to grow there quicker than in Java.

How near these high politicians, with their millionaire associates, came to succeeding in their attempts to create a serious crisis may be inferred from the fact that, in order to restore the confidence they have destroyed, the banks have deamed it necessary to contribute twenty millions to the Treasury gold reserve, while the foreign bankers have intervened to stop gold export by Issuing, If needs be, $75,000,000 al bills of exchange.
