The success of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking invest- ment in Chiva, Auronenga the belief that te proposed Capital for this Dink will be readily undecribed'; many influential native merchants have already come forward an active promoters and supporters of the undertakinr, and the Committee look for a very valuable constituency from Obinese
