JAPAN'S FINANCIAL SITUATION,

With regard to the present crisis, and the probability of an outbreak of hostilities between Japan and Russia, it would seem that an impression exists that neither of these countries is financially in a position -to-support-the-burden-of-a-protracted- struggle. As to how far this theory is exact when applied to the resources of the Northern Power it is difficult to surmise, since, like all other questions having con- cern with the system of administration in that country, the actual condition of Russia's treasury is wrapt in mystery. However, if it be possible to judge of her situation by the total of her national debt and the numerous outstanding loans floated in Paris during the last twelve years, the conclusion to be drawn is decidedly an unfavourable one. In Japan, on the contrary, reliable facts and figures are more easy of access, and, as our contemporary the Kokumin remarks, these would tend to prove that the financial position of Japan, so far from being unfavourable for belligerent purposes, is exceptionally strong. At the outbreak of the China-Japan war in 1894, Europe predicted that, financial ex- haustion would beat Japan in the end. The prophecy proved altogether fallacious. Yet it is repeated to-day with regard to a possible

A. 3. WATSON & Co., Russo-Japaness collision. Today, however, there is less reason than ever for such pessim- ism. The truth is that Japan stands now in an altogether different financial rank from that occupied by her in 1894. She has a sum of specie, amounting to 113 million yes, lying in the vaults of the Central Bank, such a sum as she never had before, and while some Western countries have been troubled [35 by a drain of gold no such embarrassment has overtaken her. The rate of interest, again, which stood at from 3 jen to 31 sent daily last year is now quoted at 1.7 sen. Turning then to the note-issuing power of the Bank, the Kokumin observes that in spite of the close of the year, when there is invariably a large run on the Bank's resour ces, its margin of note-issuing power stands at 35 millions of yen, so that, in point of fact, the Bank may be expected to be soon in a position to issue from 40 to Go millions worth of notes. With reference to last year's sale of bonds abroad, 1ST FLOOR, 12, QUEEN'S ROAD, the public have been in doubts as to the

Accoklung to a wire recently published in Manila the bottom of the Sea of Azov has been slowly rising for a long time. The sea, which is an arm, or off-shoot of the Black sea, is the outlet to the mouth of the river Don, which for a large part of the year is a very muddy stream, carrying immense quantities of silt and other detritus. It was this that has caused the filling up of the sea bed. During recent months, however, the process has been much expedited. Indeed it has been so rapid that many ships that went into the sea with plenty of water under their keels find themselves stranded without any hope of release.
