The prevailing dullness in Japanese business circles has had some influence upon the money market. The Hochi, in a leading article on the difficulties of bank- ing, remarks that the money market is in a slack state and the rates of interest have dropped. On the other hand, deposits in banks are steadily increasing and on the whole the first and second class banke have a consider- able amount of money lying idle, and they are considerably exer- cised as to bow to deal with their unemployed funds. In addition, as the Banks have struggled to obtain deposits, offering bigh in- terest since the year before last, they are not in a position to lower deposit rates auless they have a very good reason for each

and, moreover, it is impossible to Do. (Spec. shares). predict what the future condition of the rice market will be. Such being the case, no one can foretell the probable course of the money market. To tide over present difficulties is not an easy task for the bankere. Some activity is noticeable in a few industrial lines, for instance those connected with the production of war mate. riale, but there is no hope of a revival in general commercial and industrial circles, so co particular demand for landa need be expect- ed in the near falure.

The Hochi advises the Banke to takes negative measure by curtailing their expenses and lowering the rates on deposits To lower she rates on deposite with a view to equalising the rates of discount and for advances is the most effectual way to tide Over the present difficulties.
