monetary circulation at home.
Acting on this conclusion the bank
ers will probably make representa-
lions to the government. In view OF
the satisfactory result of the railway
bonds issued some time ago, 1t is pro-
posed to issue the domestic loan at a
price Of SO 1-2 yen. with interest ut
five per cent, redeemable in twenty
years.
Mr.. Taketoml, minister Of finance,
announces that 100000 yen
(s15, 600. 000) of the specie reserve
will be appropriated to reduce the
railway loans raised In England and
which will fall due in February next.
Another 30,000.000 yen will be en-
ployed to pay of foreign bonds. He
points out that the specie reserve
which already amounts to about
5O0.O00.o00 yen will steadily in

Foreign Loans at an
Early Date.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
TOXIC, Dec. 11-Leading Japan
ese bankers have declared that new
domestic loan should be raised to re-
deem foreign loans.
This decision is result OF the fact
that Japan has about 100000, 900
in foreign loans which mature in ten
years. The idea is that upon the
conclusion Of the European war the
monetary circulation Of the world
will become stringent owing to the
financial readjustment of the powers
concerned. How Japan should deal
with the situation difficult question.
The bankers think 1t advisable to
raise domestic loan with view to
redeeming foreign loans while the
money market is now in a slack con-
dition, They think that the fotation
of q domestic loan at this moment
would not only help adjust foreign
