CHINESE BANKING SYSTEM

The insecurity of Chinese houses
and the danger from fires make banks
OF deposit a necessity. All classes in
China have bank accounts. The bust
ness of the banks is to discount
paper, to negotiate bills of exchange,
to loan money on land or on personal
property al.d to buy and sell the
precious metals. There is no Govern
ment limit to their establishment
They sell bills of exchange at short
dates to any point in China. The
Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Cor
poration and other foreign banks have
largely interfered with the sale of
foreign bills and bills running Tor a
long time. The banks ordinarily, ex-
cept In Picking, pay interest on de-
posts, sometimes on daily balances,
Ihey agree also to give the parties
every facility for borrowing The Gus
tom is that a depoSitor can obtain on
ms paper, as a loan, twice the amount
of his deposit, but only for a few
days accommodation. Deposits NAV
be Withdrawn at will, and the inter-
est, except in Picking. is allowed up TO
the date OF withdrawal. The foreign
banks also pay interest on deposits.

There exists in Picking a clearing
mouse system which will compare ia
Eorab!y with that of New York. Each
depos1tor receives from his banker a
book with two columns. in one of
which will be entered his deposits. and
IN the other to his debit all the sums

HICHBORN'S RISE FROM THE
RANKS.

Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief CON
structor of the navy, was at one time
common employe at the Boston
navy yard. When he became chief of
the bureau of construction and repair.
with the rank of commodore, he had
occasion to pay an official visit to The
yard. The day before he was sched-
uied to call he strolled through the
yard without announcing himself. He
heard bell ring and saw tile old ia
m1ilar lines of employees passing about
through the yard, each man carrying
a dinner pail and his movements reg
ulated by the bell. An officer of the
yard, recognizing the then commo-
dore, asked if he desired the commo-
dores salute when he called the next
Day. L have been thinking said the
chief constructor, "of the time when I
used to go to work and quit at the
sound Of that bell. I carried one of
those dinner pals and moved at the
bidding of others. / think the com
modore's salute would be quite a
pleasing contrast to the sounds of the
old bell. Yes, you may give the sa
lutte when 1 come tomorrow"

LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
New Postal Order MiII Be oheyed.

Reform in the handling and carrying
of second class mail matter, as contem-
plated in the recent orders of the Post
master General, promises to meet all ex-
pectations. So far as can be learned
those who have been illegally enjoying
the one cent a pound rate are preparing
to submit to the new order without pro-
test Reasonable time will be allowed
publishers OF such periodicals and books
as are excluded under the recent order
to comply with the regulations, the pur-
pose being not to work any undue hard
ship by Immediately cutting them out of
the second class mail.
There was a disposition on the part of
some of the firms that will suffer most
under strict enforcement of the law
to contest the new regulations in court
II is gratifying to the postofice officials
to learn that where these firms have con-
suited the best legal authority they have
been advised to abandon their purpose to
enter suit, as an examination of the law
shows they would have no case. This ad-
vice was given to one of the largest
firms, whose books will be excluded un-
der the new regulation, by one of the best
lawyers in the United States. In order
that there may be no harsh enforcement
Of the new regulations. Third Assistant
Postmaster General Madden has issued
instructions to postmasters rclat9s 10

Nations Great Stock Of Gold.

United States Treasurer Roberts has
announced that the stock of gold held by
the United States has again exceeded
all records. The amount of the yellow
metal in the vaults is $5o4 4354 2o7, or
considerably over half billion. The
increase in the holdings of gold since
July I, 1000, has been over $50, ,ooo, 900.
On the latter date the stock held in this
country was $423577,o7I.
None of the other great nations of the
world has as much gold as is held by
the United States On July 25 there was
held by the Bank of France $47S, a58,23o
Russia comes next with a stock OF $345,-
4oS,I44. Great Britain lags behind in
the matter of gold holdings, as the Bank
OF England on July rs only held $IS3,
35o,6SI worth of the metal.
The experts in the Treasury are simp-
ly dazed by the continued large receipts
especially from internal revenue. 1t was
estimated at the beginning of the fiscal
year that there would be decrease OF
at least $3,soo,ooo in the receipts per
month, owing to the reduction of the
war revenue tax. 1t was expected that
the deficit for this month would amount
to that much if not more. The deficit
is less than ST., 100000.
The total receipts from all sources for
July have been $40, $40, 1901. For a
corresponding period last year the total
receipts were $47, ,oo2, ,oIS.7I. OF these
receipts $27, 1902, ,o3oS7 are from internal
revenue sources, an increase Of about
100000 over the corresponding period
last year, when the internal revenue re-
ceipts were $4,000, 1867. The customs
