arc huyng gold both in London and
Paris for export 20 ST. Petersburg and
other Russian points. Exchange is at
q higher level than at any time since
tho Russo-Japanese war. owing to tho
large Russian crops and preparations
for the expected heavy exports OF Rus
sian grain
Another reason for the pressure on
the imperial bank is the heavy re-
auirement before the imperial treas
ury, which owes the bank 236 ,OO0. 900
marks Cabout $50 59.000.0OO) upon treas
ury bills. In view of the heavy re-

For this reason II is understood that
the imperial bank Is unwilling TO at.
