The gold yuan which was val ued at four to $1 last August to day was 240,000,000 to $1. These figures in effect mean nothing. Nobody here deals any more in gold yuan. Money from the British colony of Hong Kong is the main medium of exchange now. Possibly the most strikine fact about China's gold yuan is that the government itself is paying some of Its employes In Hong Kong money. REA GETS LOAN WASHINGTON. Mav 24.
