Imperial Chinese Government Loans

The 5% Hukuang Railway Loan of 1911 was, according to author John M. Thomson, secured upon a first charge of salt, rice, and likin taxes of Hunan and Hupeh. This resulted in opposition from provincial governments as well as from a “rich merchant group who were advocates of the ‘Rights Recovery Movement’” who demanded cancellation of the Hukuang Railways Loan “mainly as they wished to promote their own business interests” and gain shares in various “infra-structure development programmes.”

Attempts by the central Imperial Government to “pacify the leaders” of the movement failed and opposition groups actively “mobilised students, workers and peasants to make protest against the Chinese Imperial Government.”

Chinese Government - Reorganization Gold Loan of 1913

The Reorganization Gold Loan of 1913 was for the capital sum of £25,000,000. The loan was, “…authorised by Presidential Order of 22nd April 1913 officially communicated by the Wai Chiao Pu1 to the Ministers in Peking of Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia and Japan.

The newly appointed President of the Republic of China, Yuan Shih Kai, initially approached Britain, France, Germany and United States of America seeking a substantial loan to assist the fledgling government of the Republic of China. Later this group was expanded to include Japan and Russia, but eventually the United States of America withdrew from participation, leaving five countries which agreed to assist the Chinese Government with financial aid.

The principal financial institutions which participated in the loan arrangements were the Deutsch-Asiatiche Bank, Banque de l’Indo-Chine and Russian Asiatic Bank. The Yokohama Specie Bank participated on behalf of Japan, but did not issue separate bonds, countersigned by the bank. Arrangements were made as to convertibility into Japanese Yen of the bearer bonds issued by the other four issuing banks. The banks all received 6% commission for handling this loan.

1911 5% Hukuang Railway Loan

The 5% Hukuang Railway Loan of 1911 was, according to author John M. Thomson, for the capital sum of £10,000,000 of which only the first £6,000,000 was issued.

The historical events linked to this loan included “opposition agreements coupled with public outrage at the Imperial Chinese Government’s decision to not only nationalize all of China’s Railways, but also to grant major concessions to foreigners, significantly contributed to the downfall of 3,000 years of imperial dynastic rule.,” according to Thomson. The financial institutions that handled the arrangements for the issuance of bearer bonds against the loan included:
  • Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation 
  • Deutsch-Asiatiche Bank St Book Nook Banque de l’Indo-Chine 
  • New York Banks (jointly issued £1,,5000,000 in New York at 97%) 
    • J.P. Morgan &Co. 
    • Kuhn, Loeb & Co. o First National Bank of the City of New York 
    • National City Bank of New York 

The initial loan agreement was negotiated by the British & Chinese Corporation, however, French and German interests exerted pressure to be allowed to participate in the financing of the project. An intervention by U.S. President William H. Taft secured a share of the project for American capital enterprises.

61st Pennsylvania Volunteers Army of the Potomac

We recently sold this fine collectible of the 61st Pennsylvania Volunteers Army of the Potomac.

The flag remnant came from one of the Regimental flags used by the 61st Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War. While this regiment did not win specific acclaim for turning the course of a battle, it was a workhorse unit that participated in the vast majority of the battles fought by the Army of the Potomac and it also fought briefly in the Army of the Shenandoah.

The major battles the unit fought in were: Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, Antietam, Marye's Heights,Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Gettysburg, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. At Fair Oaks the unit was mauled by Micah Jenkins' Confederates and lost 263 men and all the field officers were killed, wounded, or captured. The unit lost 151 men at the Wilderness and 139 at Spotsylvania. The 61st lost more officers in combat than any other Federal regiment and the battle deaths were the 15th highest of the 2,000 Federal regiments that fought in the war.

In spite of tremendous losses the 61st never lost a battle flag and was mustered out in Pittsburgh ending the tragedy and suffering of its tired men. The photo above shows Federal troops staging before the Battle of Fair Oaks where the 61st suffered their greatest losses in soldiers and officers.

The railroad operated by the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad Company, hereinafter called the carrier, consisted principally of a single-track, steam railroad, located in southeastern Texas, extending from Houston to Galveston. The wholly owned property included that portion of the main line projecting from Houston to the beginning of the joint causeway zone at Virginia Point and from the end of the joint causeway zone to Thirty-third Street on Galveston Island, aggregating 46.527 miles of road. The separated sections were connected by means of a concrete causeway with approaches about 2 miles in length across Galveston Bay which in part was jointly owned and used by the carrier, The Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway Company, and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway Company.

This company granted to The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company of Texas and the International and Great Northern Railway Company the joint use of its tracks and facilities between Houston and Galveston, Tx.

The property of the carrier was operated by its own organization from December 1, 1882, to March 6, 1883; from the latter date to December 22, 1895, it was operated by the International and Great Northern Railroad Company under an operating agreement. During the period from December 23, 1895, to December 31, 1917, it was operated by its own organization.

On January 1, 1918, its common-carrier property was taken over for operation by the United States Railroad Administration, which still operates it on date of valuation. As of date of valuation no separation has been made between the corporate accounts and those of the United States Railroad Administration.

The carrier was organized December 1, 1882, by Russell Sage and Jay Gould and associates under the original charter granted to the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad Company (of 1853), for the purpose of acquiring the property of the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad Company (of 1871). $100 Bond printed by John F. Trow.

It is particularly interesting to note that most of these bonds have been bought up by speculators. As a result, they are now extremely rare.

Banque D'Orient Societe Anonyme - Part 2

Collectible, scarce, Banque D'Orient Societe Anonyme stock

The refugees from Ionia, Cappadocia, the Caucasus, who eventually called for liquidation of the shares held by bank employees heard, especially after 1940 to respond to how the bills had no longer any value. The matter was forgotten. Some grandmothers and grandfathers some from Asia Minor had kept some of those shares in the chests. Others in the lockers until, forty of them appeared suddenly. The holder of the stock is a family from Patras. 



The family took the shares to the National bank of Greece and the bank informs them in September 2010, that the shares hold no value. But, the family didsn't give up. They contacted experts on banking issues and legal and economic factors. 



Theodore Karyotis, professor of economics at the University of Maryland in the U.S., teaches Macroeconomics, International Economic Relations and microeconomics. He evaluated of shares and determined that each share of gold "Bank of East" was now valued at 670 billion, one-and-a-half the current debt of Greece, which amounts to 450 billion. The total value of 40 shares approaching 30 trillion euros. 

The family decided to establish a non-profit organization.

They donated 4 shares to the state. The value of the 4 shares is sufficient to pay the debt of Greece and the accumulated debt to banks for the Greek citizens and the existence of a large reserve for economic growth (at least this is what the family wants).

"Up to now there is no official response to this by the government or any politician and all the major Greek news sites and channels haven't reported this yet."

(Response provided by a fellow expert in the field.
