The French bankers’ Joan has alarmed the Russian reformers, who forsee a continuance of the reaction as long as the war chest is replenished. The Imperial Bank has been empowered to issue £ls, 000,000 sterling in notes. The newspaper Molva remarks that since the note limit was raised to £45,000,000 sterling the recent issue of £40,000,000 worth of bonds, convertible into gold, practically exhausts the gold reserve.
