RUSSIA CREDIT HURT.

Unless Russians can borrow money
with which to carry on the war, it
looks as though she will be compelled
to seek peace without being over par
ticular regarding the terms. French
bankers who have been her depend
ence up to this time have called off a
loan which had been all but con
summated before the recent events at
Mukden- 1t is unlikely that anybody
else will care to assume the risk. A
nations credit is not different from
that of an Individual; once questioned
it is hard to make good again.
Lord Rothschfld, who ought to be
good authority on such matters, re-
CARDS the postponement of the Russian
loan as tantamount to a refusal on the
part Of the French syndicate to treat
any further. He is quoted as saying:
After all, it can not be matter for
surprise. 1t is owing to the force of
circumstances and not, think, to the

Last week the surplus reserve drop

count At present government expendi-
lures are exceeding income, and a de-

which was only about $4,000, 900 under
the record. Compared with a year ago.
this is an expansion of 1884, O00, 600. more
than one-half of which was confined to
two banks. There is nothing to cause
uneasiness in these figures, but they
show that the money market is as much
exposed to manipulation as the stock
market, and a temporary squeeze in
money rates, if it suited the big OPP
orators, would cause no surprise. No
permanent rise in money rates is, how
ever, likely while ease is SO pronounced
in the European markets.
