IN TORCION STMTS.

The writer on Trade and Finance in the Daily News,
noticing the fact that the British capitalist is returning
nee more to hie old appreciation of foreign stocks, re-
marks that it becomes a serious question, particularly for
lenders, what is to be done when the foreign states have
pawned and [sold all. Necessarily if the money so ob-
tained is expended on reproductive works, the temporary
sacrifice will be more than counterbalanced by the results;
but hitherto it has certainly not been so—costly arma-
ments, the evil fruits of despotism, or national extra-
vagance have sapped the resources and wealth of too
many foreign countries. Their money as well as their
men have been spent in absolute waste. Onr English
capitalists will be wise to remember this, and reflect well
before, merely to get a high rats of interest, they place
their fortunes in the hands of such unceasing and unsound
borrowers.
