AND JAPANESE LOANS
Berlin an Investor in Japan's Internal
Bond Issue

Berlin Correspondence New York Evening Post
While the course of events with respect
to Russian funds has been upon the whole
is interesting to note that our investors
have begun to turn toward Japanese is
sues. Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfort
have actually been investing money freely
in the issue of per cent bonds that will
soon be offered for subscription in japan,
The movement has reached such proper
lions that the Frankfurter Zeitung has
thought it worth while to warn German
investors against all issues fioated in ia
interest guarantee in the form of customs
revenues, like the foreign loans placed in
London and New York.
Moreover, the same newspaper made it.
self responsible for the statement that
Germany would be asked to participate in
a Japanese foreign loan. However this
may be, there is certainly enough of en-
thusiasm here for the military achieve
ments of the plucky little islanders. The
debtor is not very good with Germans, so
far as matters of international trade are
concerned; perhaps greater confidence
would be given to the promises of the To-
kyo government. Japan is. unfortunately.
handicapped by having no long-established
reputation as a borrower in European mar
kets; and this is one reason why people
are less accustomed to rate its bonds as
sound. They have never held any. 1t
makes a good impression. however, as a
"send-off'' for such loan in Germany,
that the Japanese As should have risen
about II points in London since the jan
uary settlement of last year.

NEW YORK BANKS.
Two Disappointing Features Disclosed
by the Official Statement.

NEW YORK, April S.-The Financier says
this week:
There were at least two disappointing fea-
lures disclosed by last weeks official state
Tent of the New York associated banks-the
loans were contracted, instead of being eX-
banded, as was expected, and the cash re-
serve showed an important loss whereas a
small gain was indicated from the traceable
movements of money. The surplus reserve,
however, showed a gain, though it was so
small as to leave bank conditions in this re-
spect practically unchanged as compared
with the previous week
The decrease of SIS, $50 100 in the loan item
was probably due in part to operations Incl
dent to the April settlements. 1t would
seem from the record of individual changes,
however, that other transactions similar to
those which have contributed to contin-
uous reduction in loans since March 4, caus-
ing an aggregate contraction of S44, 900 900
In this interval, We're responsible for last
weeks exhibit.
The cash reserve decreased 50 800 900 an
amount greater by So, $50 600 than that which
was estimated from the traceable move
ments of money during the week, the latter
showing a gain of S633, 800 1t is the more
difficult to account for this discrepancy be-
cause the details of the estimates appeared
to be based upon more or less exact data
obtained not only from the banks, but from
1t may be observed that the interbank
movement and the subtreasury operations
upon which the estimates of bank condi-
tons, as regards cash, were based, seemed
to show that the spring outflow of currency
to the country had been checked and that
return movement might soon be expected.
These expectations may be realized if it
shall appear that the cash changes shown in
the bank statement were due to special re-
quirements which will soon be satisfied.
The deposits increased SIC, $50 600, which
amount is only 1891, 700 less than the sum of
the reduction in loans and the loss of cash
therefore the statement made fairly good
proof. The required reserve was decreased
81, 64o, 49, deducting from which the loss of
cash left $17,950 as the increase in surplus
reserve to $S,6S2, SO, which gain, it may be
noted, is remarkably small Computed upon
the basis of deposits, less those of SIG, 967 800
public funds, the surplus is ST., 924, $50. The
daily average of bank clearings last week
was $341 100000, against $40 100000 in the
previous week, showing the surprising gain
of SO 100000.
The clearings on Saturday, rejecting Fri
days business were $685., sos, 624, or $4S, OO0,-
coo above the daily average. Comparison of
changes in loans show that six banks de-
creased this item 81 100000 net one of
which indicated a contraction of $13, 400, 600.
Seven banks lost $2,750,0U0 net cash.

From the New York Sun,


Canada is elated over her latest financial
transaction. She has recently f1oated in
London the first issue of Grand Trunk Pa
cific railway bonds, guaranteed by the do
minion government, for the construction OF
the new transcontinental line. The issue
was 100000 8 per cents, and the price
obtained was %. This is regarded as
an indication of the high standing of
Canadian credit in the London market Not
long ago Canadian Northern 3 per cents,
similarly guaranteed, found only an indif-
ferent market, and it is reported that the
underwriters have been forced to carry
about one-half of the issue of &1,923, 2S1
