The net reduction in the floating debt was £ 10,342.000, as against an increase of Z28,3115,000 in the preceding i week. NATIONAL DEBT NEARLY I te,coo,ooo,ogo.

Thus the Exchequer balances were reduced by £ 220.105 to tU82,7, Expenditure to Oct. 18th was £812.994.263; revenue. £ 503.575.978: deficit to date. £ 309,418,283: currency notes outstanding on Oct. 15tli, £ 338,435,694.

The report of Lord Cave's Comnrission examining the chartered companies' claims, whereby between £ 7.000,000 and C8.000.000 are involved, is expected at an early date. Whatever may be the deci- s ion. it is certain to direct greater attEm- tion to Rhodpsia. Last vear the Rhorlesian Mining Com- panies declared dividends amounting to while the "Development Com- panies distrihuted£35.1.9AA. Since then there has been enormous appreciation in larid values, an advance in cattle prices, and a rise in the price of gold by 16 per cent. In consequence the big financiers art- turning their attention to "Rhodesian enterprises. A leading place is held by Rhodesia Limited, which owns four gold mines, a cattle ranch, 200,000 acres of land. roTm sites, etc. When these facts are morp widely realised (as will probably shortly be the rase) it would not be out of the way for the shares, now 3s.. to double in price.

I Interviewed by a correspondent of the Boersen Zeitung," General Von Der Goltz declared that his recent letter of congratulation to Colonel Bermonda was purely a personal matter, and added I hope the Entente Commission which is going to the Baltic Provinces will con- vince itself on the spot that there are no longer any troops with Colonel Ber- monda who are German subjects, and I hope further that the Commission will understand that Colonel Bermonda de- sires nothing different to General Deni- kill.. The West Russian Central Coun- cil has expressly recognised Latvia's autonomy, and its political aim, which Colonel Bermonda also champions, is a Federative Great Russia, or to be pre- cise a. United States of Russia. The troops that still remain C'rmftn are all obeying the evacuation order, but a good half have become Russian citizens, and will therefore remain. The En- tente Powers, too, will finally realise that Germany cannot offer any opposi- tion when a number of Germans wish to become citizens of another country. It is indescribable how strongly the settle- ment idea dominates the masses." I GREEKS IN TURKEY.
