The news received from latin Anne
RIGA is not bad. Brazil is constan-
tly trying to reduce the duties on
coffee, having already obtained some
advantages and the quotations of her
products are very steady.
The Argentine Republic, that
does such a large amount of business
in London, has improved its fnan.
cial condition, and has Eniyeled''
herr debt; gold quotation being 12S
per cent.
IN Chill the House of Represen-
tives has rejected any project inVOl-
wing new issues of banknotes and
the situation is rapidly ameliOratipg.
The picture that is presented in
England of the growing impOsts and
taxes shows that each day increases
the per capita burdens of the people.
In France, which is the country
having the highest taxes, the per
capita rate is 500. After France
come England, Belgium and Holland
with $15 per capita. Then Italy
and Norway with $13 Russia with
$12;-Spain and Portugal with $11;
and so on, with Austria the lowest
at SO per head.
The most commercial people in
the world THAT is, in proportion to
population is Holland. The Others
follow in this order:-Switzerland,
England, Denmark, Norway, Fran
ce, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Rou-
mania, Sc.
At Valparaiso, Bank has been
recently created with capital Of

missed to stockholders will be 8 per
cent a month and the administration
council will be composed of fine

Financial Review.
London, January 18th, 1900.

To the Editor of the BoLETIN
MERCANTM.
The financial situation in Europe
has not changed, the rate of discount
is the same, and the principal Euro
pean BANKS defend their gold reserve
with great strictness and good deal
of provision. 1t is an already known
fact that Russia refused England's
entreaties for loan of gold and
although it is not true that the Gov
ernment requested this loan from the
Bank of Spain, it may be affirmed
that should the demand for pounds
be superior to the incomes as it is
now, the British Government would
be compelled to search for gold whe-
rever she could find it and this at a
high rate of interest.
The official rate of discount con-
tinueS to be six per cent, but private
discount is Z per cent and the fine
gold pigs are quoted at FISH Sd per
ounce Standard.

ry Of Natal is most discouraging for
the British.
Everybody knows the deplorable
results Of the flanking move planned
by General Butler.
His advance north of the Tugela
has met with a determined resistan-
ce, certainly lygunexpected, as shown
by its unfortunate results.
If Buffers thanking move could
have been SO rapid as to constitute
a real surprise attack before the
Beers had time to reinforce their
trenches in the right wing of Gene.
raj JOubert's Army, the result might
have been different.
AS it is, it constitutes great loss
of English lifes and considerable
loss of time.
Already the cable has informed
us of the purpose of the British to
retire into the Orange Free State
without trying to pursue their march
toward relieving Ladysmith.
Reports from that City state that
munitions of war are plentiful and
that it can yet resist for a long time
to come.
The fact however that these re-
ports come from London lessen their
Importance and only time will
tell us the real condition of things
in town besieged for the last three
months and more.
A sensational report has been
made by Or. Rambottom, of Bloem-
fontein, chief of the Orange Free
States ambulance corps at the battle
of Modder River. He asserts that
after the battle and while attending
the wounded he and his staff, in
spite of their Red Cross badges, we're
made prisoners by the British.
The Doctor declares that not only
himself and staff, but also the woun-
ded they we're attending, were de-
prived of food and conveyed in cgt-
tie trucks to Cape Town, being at
one point on the road held in prison
for hours with common criminals.
At Cape Town, he says, the autho-
rites admitted that terrible blum
der had been made, and sent the
party back to Modder River, but
the British officers there refused to
return their ambulances or instru-
ments. and all. including the Woun-
ded, we're compelled to make their
way to Jacobsdahl on foot.
AS the Orange Free State is a
signatory to the Geneva Convention
the DR.. and his countrymen hope to
elicit protest from the Powers
against this alleged fragrant viola
ton of its stipulations.
Reports from London state that
the people of England are protesting
Indignantly at the dearth of news
from the front. Even if the news is
had, they want the facts, and they
openly charge the army and the
War Office with deliberately holding
back intelligence from all the at
tendant circumstances, however, it
is evident that an important and
decisive battle must soon be fought,
if it has not already occurred, News
of this, whichever side is victorious
cannot long be held back, and we
may look for some definite intelli-
gence at an early day.
