Japan's Financial Aid to Russia.

A domestic loan of $50,000,000 has been arranged by Japan for Russia, a large part of which will be used to pay for war supplies already ordered by Russia in Japan. At present, $35,000,000 Russian treasury bills held in Japan matured on September 25 and were renewed. The bankers of Japan have so many demands for money made upon them at present to finance new enterprises that they are not disposed to underwrite Russian loans; therefore the government will Issue exchequer bonds which may be paid for with Russian treasury bills. — East and West News.
