If the Deutsch- Asiatiche likes to like the Polyang dollar, and It finds worthy of confidence, it has a perfect right to indulge the proclivity; but the Hong. kong and Shanghal Bank and the Chartered Bank are not bound to follow suit. The subsidiary coin minted at the Arsenal bears, ) believe, even a more shady reputation than the dollar. This is another instance of the differ ence which characterizes Chinese and Japanese efforts. As everyone in Hongkong knows, the Japanese yen, was regarded as such a round vellable coin ibai It was accepted as a legal tender to the Straits Settle menis, and, now that. Japan is withdrawing it in view of the pendicg gold coleage, will no doubt be greatly missed.
