The Japanese government at one

On December 10, $5s.800,OOO of tax

all were re-invested in the new GER
tihcates offered for subscription.
Whether the Japanese government
will call in what is left of Its balance
when the certificates run out by i'm

tary conditions existing at that time.
Japan will probably be able to keep
exchange here at the gold shipping
point by reason OF financing her mer-

There is no intention, Il is declared,
OF placing the Japanese balances at

JAPANESE HAVE 800 MILLION
INVESTED IN u. S., PAPER SAYS

The japanese and the government
of Japan have nearly $30e. 00O, 900 in
vested in the United States, says the
Wall Street Journal. This represents
the accumulation of balances built up
throughout the period Of the war.
with the exception of some gold that
has been shipped and funds invested
in allied loans from time to time.
The $500, 100000 is a call which Japan
has on our gold. The japanese gov
eminent has invested a large part of
it's balances in United States certifl-
Gates. which are payable in gold, il
demanded.
1t is stated, however, that there is no
intention on the part Of the Japanese
at present to take gold from this
country. or. In fact. to do anything
that would have a detrimental effect
upon the local credit situation. Gold
will only be taken. in realizing upon
these balances, as q last resort.
Japan Is now making use of Ameri-
can credits to finance her purchases of
cotton and other commodities from
this country. Her purchases OF cotton
in this market are quite heavy at this
time. and the movement will continue
until about February. AS an instance
OF this financing, the Yokohama Specie
Bank at the beginning Of this week
invested $3,000,000 in ninety day cot
ton bills going forward to Japan. BY
investing in Japanese bills in this
way. the exchange rate Is stabilized.
The exchange rate on Japan Is now
$50.62 per 100 yen. as against the
parity of $49.S4. 1t is actually above
