While in the Hong Kong bank ws shown all over The building is about as large as the Oluckamas county conrt house, and they have 75 or 83 men em ployed. Quite a number were counting money, they had just received a ship ment of silver from the mint, but they did not take time to count it. Two men with scoop' shovels were piling it onto a pair of rcales, one taking the weight, another hooking it, another holding a sack and still another carrying it away. You can imagine how cheap it is when one of our one cent pieces gets two of theirs, five d dlars of our gold gets ten thirty-five of their money. One has got to carry pocket full of one and two cent pieces all the time as cigars sell for from oue to five cents each and other articles In pro portion.
