About this book
Hong Kong Telegraph 1889-08-17
Year: 1889
The history of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is unique and almost without parallel in commercial history. For nearly a quarter of a century it has been the fulcrum of foreign business in China and the Far East. OUR LOCAL STOCKS. THE CRETE TROUBLE. THE BOULANGER TRIAL. THE RAUB CONCESSION. SOME interesting Formosan news from our Tamsui and Taiwanfoo correspondents will be found in another part of this issue. AN illicit opium smuggler who was fined this morning was stated to have been caught with a tael of the drug tied under his knee. AT noon today a coolie who was carrying a large crate of plate-glass to the Hongkong Dispensary slipped in the road, and broke his leg. EVEN the "poor feet" of the German soldier are carefully looked after. FIRST Speculator - Another gold mine discovered in Pahang, I see. Big one this time - Second Speculator - Yes.
