RUMOURS respecting a further increase by the Bank of Japan of the bank-rats are becoming more insistent. We are informed that backers in Osaka generally appear to admit the course to be inevitable in order to prevent the exodus of xold. Such a measure is necessary for strengthening the basis of the note system of the Bank of Japan, and it can also be used to prevent a financial crisis.

"The consequence is that banks borrow from the the national bank, so I make advances to their clients, pocketing the difference in rate of in- terest. Banks are thus induced to make advances with less care than should be observed and the increase in the rate of the Bank of Japan will prevent this.--Japan Chronicle,
