STRICKEN JAPAN.
MORATORIUM LIFTED.
YOKOHAMA AGAIN SHAKEN.
AIORE SEVERE EARTHQUAKES
Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.
The 30-day moratorium has terminated, and apparently lias had little effect on the money market. The Tokio clearing house lias resumed business, and all the banks have reopened, with the exception of one small institution.
The banks were prepared for unusual withdrawals, but depositors are making small demands, and are withdrawing only what money is required for immediate necessity. There were very severe earthquakes tills morning. Residents who have been subjected to so many almost intolerable experiences were again alarmed.
The populace deserted their homes’, and waited anxiously in expectation of further devastating earthquakes. Happily there were no very serious effects, but the electric light service throughout the city and suburbs was cut, off, so that the people who h«fd vacated their homes had to contend with darkness among other discomforts.
The shocks, which were severe here, were felt only slightly at Osaka.
