Bounds.
London, Dec. 90 - RussO-Japanese
war risks at Lloyds rose about 5 per
cent yesterday, 20 guineas per cent be-
ing quoted to the end of January and
rs to the end of February. Ordinary
insurance on cargo to and from
Japan rose about per cent. with q
fair amount of business. Japanese
bonds declined on the stock exchange
from "a to l point, but rallied and
closed unchanged.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 19.-The opin,
ion here is that the Russo-Japanese
negotiations will proceed. 1t is point
ed out that there is no reason why
Japan, if not satisfied with Russia's
reply, should break off the negotia
tons, since the reply is in no sense an
ultimatum, leaving the way open for
counter proposals. 1t is suggested as
an eXpedient, in case no agreement
can be reached, that an arrangement
might be made to maintain the present
