During the war Japan'a ex-
ports exceeded her imports to
such an extent that she accuHnu-
lated q large gold reserve by re-
ceiving bullion in exchange for
her products. After the war. how
ever, her foreign trade became
reversed. as q result of which
she is now gradually losing her
gold reserve, The amount OF gold
In her possession reached its
high-water mark In 1920, when it
was equal to nearly two billion,
two hundred naillion yen, But,
during the year 1891. this reserve
decreased by ninety million yen
because of the fact that during

ceeded her exports to such an ex-

partly made up in gold.
