Special attention may be called to the excellent results disclosed by Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews's investigation of the affairs of the Bank of China, Even to those most closely connected with the bank this showing is something of a surprise. The organization on foreign lines appears particularly praiseworthy and the fact of the bank having a 100 per cent. reserve against its paper issue, ides cover 83,000,000 in cash speaks volumes for its management. Had it' not been for the unhappy dislocation of business caused by revolution, the bank's affairs would be even more prosperous; and that reflexion may be commended to all who would genuinely seek the wel-far of China, especially at such time as the present when it is all important for the nation to show @ united front.
