Financial Rehabilitation

An event of first rank in the history of

rehabilitation of Italy as registered in
the successful conversion of her 4 and 3
per cent. rentes TO a 3& basis. Of the
total of $1,620000,000, only $4,000 of
Inc securities were presented for redemp-
ton, instead of conversion.
In January, 1894 Italian rentes were
down to - on the Paris bourse and Pre-
mler Crispi had admitted that Italian
finances were in pretty bad shape. Step
oy step, in little more than twelve years,
the work of recuperation has proceeded.
n - per cent. tax ON the interest cou-
ponS forced n considerable conversion of
the D per cents to As. The budget was
cut ruthlessly. A surplus began TO ap-
pear and the kingdom stopped borrow
ing.
Three years ago Italian currency
reached par of gold. When n few weeks
ago the conversion plan was preached
German holders of Italian rentes began
to sell and the purchases were made for
Italian account in proportion.
w hen the conversion went through the
italian rentes were found to be held
largely in their own country. This feat
of rehabilitation was accomplished at a
time when European money markets
