Floating Foreign Loans.

The appearance in Minneapolis today
of a statistical pamphlet issued by the
National City bank of New York, and
dealing with the financial position of
Japan, is another Of the signs that in.
dictate the growth Of our country into
a place of. greater prominence in inter
national finance. When Japan came into
the money market to provide for neces-
stiles created by the war, she turned
first, to London, as was natural, and sec
ondly she looked to the United States
as source Of money supply.
Our larger eastern financial institu-
lions have been active in the floating
of these loans. Three times Japan has
appeared as borrower since the war
began. Her first, a $5O,OOO,000 loan,
was opened for subscription simultane-
ously in London and New York in May,
1904, the issue price being 931a per cent
of face value. The second loan, per
cent issue like the first, was for $780,
100000 and was opened for subscription
in November, 1904, the New York issue
price being SS. The third loan, now in
process Of fotation, was first opened
for subscription last month. This is a
big one, almost $15O,000,OO0 The rate
is AZ per cent, and the issue price in
New York is S755ss ..s.s ...... -. !.
Since Japan began. borrowing, nearly
| one-half the money loaned her came
from our side, the estimate to date. be-
ing $130, 100000 subscribed in America.
Japan issues her bonds in pounds ster-
ling, and gives London first show at
them, for her intimate political relation
ship with England makes this advis-
able, if not necessary. But New. York
comes up with London in the matter Of
putting up the money.

National Bank Examination.

Mr.. Ridgeley, controller Of the cur
'rency,s discussing some criticism of the
system of national bank examination
recently made by The Journal,
contends that it is as nearly perfect
as it can be made under the present
law. Every controller, he says, for the
past ten or twelve years has recon-
mended that the force be increased and
that the method of compensation be
changed from fees to fixed salaries.
This would mean more time spent
in each examination, altho Mr.. Ridge
ley contends that the work is not now
sighted. If it is not now sighted,
why does he recommend an increase of
force and a. change of compensation?
He says that many Irregularities are
found and corrected which the public
knows nothing of; but when something
gets away from them the public i'm
mediately concludes that the examiners
are not vigilant. Such Irregularities
he says, are those which could not be
unearthed by an examiner without
checking up all the accounts of the
bank for a considerable period. The
irregularities at Milwaukee could have
been detected in no other way. The
expense of such examination, he thinks,
is something that the public would not
submit to. * 4 ! = :
He may be mistaken about that. To
test it, Lett him ask the creditors and
directors Of the Faribault and the Mil
waukee banks. = -. 49,. RI
Finally, Mr.. Ridgeley seems to arrive
at the same conclusion at which T h e
journal arrived-namely, that the
government s system of examination is
not expert work and that the only way
| in which expert examination can be had
| is for the bank directors to hire it at
their own expense. This was III {
urnal's suggestion: that so long
| as the government examination is nc
more thoro than at present, there il
no protection for the bank director
against mistakes or stealing by his own
bank officers and clerks except suc1
expert examination as he may provide
at his own expense, and that there il
no adequate protection for one banl
against another until that system Q:
examination becomes general.
! Mr.. Ridgeley admits that in select
ing national-bank examiners, the mel
appointed are usually affiliated witt
the party in control of the government
1 but he thinks that care is exercised
in selecting men for this office. Poit
zeal affliation with the party in con
4 troll should be no disqualification, an,
4 it should certainly be no qualification
i AS for the selection Of men of expe
! rience, there are degrees Of experience
some of which apparently do not amour
to much. ! :, I':>tss>55 d
The test Of the system is in its re
suits. National bank examination some
times fails to beget confidence. A
we have already stated, in this distric
it even fails to secure its fees on tn
ground of protest by the bankers them
selves that the examination has no
been thoro and valuable and will, there
!: fore, not be paid for.
