Tho National City Bank has trans

New York s10,500,0oO in gold coin, con-

Bankers said yesterday that the de-
posit OF the Argentine gold was made
in connection with the credit arrange
ments recently completed between the
treasury Department at Washington
and the Argentine government, which
has TOR its purpose the stabilization
or exchange rates between the two
countries.
The gold transferred from the Ma
tional City Bank to the local Reserve
institution had been in the vaults Of
the bank earmarked in the name Of
the Argentine Embassy at Washington
since the closing days of 1914. At that
time, owing to the uncertain shipping
conditions, the various Argentine en-
bassles in this country and in Europe
were authorized to receive gold for de-
posit as part Of the conversion fund
against which the currency in the South
American republic is issued. Such de-
posits were made in lieu OF gold ship
ments to Argentina.
1t is understood that the deposit Of
gold at the Federal Reserve Bank will
serve as a nucleus for considera-
bly, larger reserve to be kept here by

To Great Britain,
Will Exchange $4,000, 900
Banking Credit Here for
6P. c. Treasury Bills

Arrangements arc about to be con-
cludcd between the Japanese and Brit
ish governments under which Japan
will advance approximately $4,000, 900
to Great Britain out Of tho reserve
which it has been building up here
since gold exports wcro cmbargocd by
the United States. In return for the
transfer of New York funds to the ac-
count Of Great Britain the Japanese
government will accept an issue Of
per cent British Treasury bills, ,Aac-
cording to tho terms OF tho agreement
that is being madc in London.
Bankers pointed out yesterday that
tho transaction works to the advantage
of both governments. 1t provides the
British government with a $40,000,000
banking credit in New York, while at
tho same time the Japanese govern
mcnt is able to obtain per cent in
tcrcst on its investment in Treasury
bills.
Result Of Embargo
OrulHaIlly Inc Japanese balances Ac-
cumulating here would be transferred
to Japan by means Of gold shipments.
In September, however, the United
States placed an embargo on all out
going gold shipments, so that the move
ment to Japan, which was assuming
large proportions, was Immediately
halted. Since then Japanese balances
have been steadily growing at this GEN.
tre owing to the heavy imports of Ja-
pancse merchandise into the United
States.
This is not the first time that a
financial operation of this character
has been arranged between London
and Toxic. In the summer of 1916
Japan bought $30,00O,000 6f British
Treasury bills, paying for them in
New York funds. Another transaction
of this kind was made in the fall of
the same year.
Paying High Rate
An interesting feature in connection
with the latest triangular operation be-
tween London and Toxic and New York
is that the British Treasury is paying
the same high rate Of interest to the
Japanese government as is paid here
in New York on the weekly issues Of
