In common with the holders of other Chinese securities, the sorip owners of those bonds are somo- what uneasy at the present slate of affairs, and one correspondent dogires advice as to whether or on ho should cut his loss right away, | says the "Financier," writing of Hukuang Railway bonds. The situation is undoubtedly perplex- ing, but there are just one or two facts which might be borno in mind in regard to those sccurities. At present the bonds have not been delivered, which of itself is, perhaps, a disquieting circum- stanco, and the query arises as to whether in the present position of Poking they are likely to be issued. On that may be remarked On the British Beat on Trein will Lupany 3.

There are other possibilities, but, Hongbong, 1st Feb., 1918, apparently, in any event, it may be reasonably expected that the obligations of China prior to the insurrection will be honcurably fulfilled. Respecting the market price of the bonds, it is, in the circumstances, quite impossible to give any forecast.
