NEW ORIENTAL BANK FAILURE.
How Silver Wrecked JaPan's Big Finan-
cial Institution.

YOKOHAMA, June 10-Concerning the
suspension yesterday of the New Oriental
bank Qimited). the Japan Herald says:
For some time past the bank has been re-
stricting its loan business and has been
calling on persons indebted to it to make
repayment, but owing to the general
tightness of money the debtors have had
much difficulty in even partially respond
ing to the calls made upon them. The
general loss of confidence in London and
the Eastern trade had led to withdrawal
OF deposits, which, originally made in gold,
had been converted into silver for employ
ment abroad by the bank. but which,
being rec0nverted into gold, left heavy
losses by reason of the great depreciation
in silver which has taken place since the
deposits were lodged.
The annual balance sheet issued in June,
1891. showed that after setting aside fl65,-
00J - meet contingencies, there would re-
main $50 600. out OF which a dividend at
the rate Of i per cent. would absorb SIS
00o. There was also contingent liability
in the Barring Bros guarantee OF 100000.
The assets and liabilities of the bank at
the time balanced al $40 10000
