The New Your finde many merchants facing a pro- carious future owing to on unuryally quiet sòa- soh.
The perlod between Christmas and the Chinese New
Year should be à season of brisk sales.
Political and military unider- tainties are largely the cause of the business depression. Big merchants will not embark on any large-scalo vontures at present.
Owing to the deprectation of the gold yuan, prices keep o soaring.
One source said that in tormis of the Hong Kong dollar, prices remain pretty much the same, but not many persons receive their income in Hong Kong dollars.
Bushes here is so bad that prices of catartic son and dyes are cheaper than those in long Kong.
