When Wuchow was being defend ed by the Kwangsi troops against the Canton Army business was at a standstill and most of the wealthy merchants fled. Now they have nearly all returned and business is carried on as, uzual, Kwangtung and Kwangsi silver coins have replaced the badly depreciated Kwangsi banknotes which were in compulsory circulation during the Kwangsi regime. They are now quoted at 10 cents to the dollar. Prices generally are still high...-

The situation is similar to that existing at the end of January when, it will be recalled, the price was forced up to 141d. for the Octo- ber/December position, and Ve should not be surprised to see this price again.
