[A breakdown of the figures showed that the public surrendered during this period 101,700 shih liang (each equalling 1.1023 ounces) of gold, 205,300 shih liang of silver, 900,000 silver dollars, 5,150,000 United States dollars and HK$9,200,000.
In a statement, the Promier, Dr. Wong Wen-hao, expressed gratification · over the "preliminary success" of the economic reform programme but urged the local authoritios to exort greater efforts towards stabilising the markets, ro- adjusting the demand and supply, stamping out speculation, wiping out the blackmarket and helping production.
The Premier said that on the results of the efforts in these directions depended the attain- ment of the programme's ob jectives.
