property.
....As to the conditions regarding the bank, compared with when you left Hong Long things are brighter, some money is being deposited everyday, thus shoving public confidence. Bank Banks with Chinese capital will soon be free with regard to the paying out of money «
Chinese business is now showing good results. The value of shares is rapidly rising. A share originally worth ten dollars has now risen to twenty five. *TUNGYA" (East Asia) shares that were criginally worth 100 dollars have now risen to 140 and more. Property generally in Hong Kong is rapidly improving in value (lit: like bamboo shoots after rain) In the central district iù has risen to double the value. Honey in Hongkong is gradually becoming easier and will, I think, become easier still. Before long remittances from abroad will be released
?freed from restriction) and then Overseas Chinese funde will be (or tean be') remitted back (to nongkong) At present joint stock land company business is increasing daily (or improving daily) and also, because of the fall in Hongkong money, has the appearance of rising still more. (This last sentence is a little obscure in form).
