ton Being Taken.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 31.-Important
financial measures, dictated by the
drain on savings banks in consequence
of the revolutionary agitation and the
imposibillty of competing with rates
of private banks are announced BY
imperial order the rate OF interest OF
government savings banks has been
increased from 3.e TO per cent The
government hopes Il will have favor
able effect on re-depositing. which has
already commenced.
According to an official statement in
creased deposits In savings banks for
the first half OF January were $4,000
600. ten times the increase during the
similar periow of 1905 At MOSCOW.
according to SIovo. depositors of gold
are demanding receipts. stating ex-
plicitly their deposits are returnable in
the same metal. The banks refuse to
do so. The rate of interest was de-
creased from 4 per cent to 3e per cent
in 1894 on account of favorable pc
sitions of the government and low rate
of money at that time.
An order has also been signed by
the emperor raising the rate paid on
deposits in perpetuity in imperial
banks from ~ to Az per cent
The rates OF exchange are soaring
steadily. For drafts on America pri-
vate banks are, charging as high as
201 roubles per 500. whereas during
the preceding summer the rate was
1877 roubles per 800

vasion Of Japanese and American goods

road has raised the question of increas-
ing freight rates 'ortward OF Kwang
