Shanghai.. Hongkong. Manila.. Singapore Paris, June 17 The strong impression of the Far Eastern events on the French public was particularly reflected by movements at the stock exchange. Chinese loans dealt with on the Paris stock exchange have considerably dropped from Thursday to Friday. One of the loans lost 30 points: The securities concerned are seven China loans subscribed partly in France and partly in England, most of them pre-War loans.
Although these loans have continuously declined since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese hostilities, the present drop is, according to financial Circles, due to the impression that "it is no longer a simple rivalry between Asiatic nations but that the question of the presence of occidental powers in the Far East has been raised,"—Trans-Ocean.
