Canton, Aug. 4.
There have been considerable movements of troops in Kuangtung during the last few days. General Liu Chi-lu, the Defence Commissioner of Swatow, is recruiting more men.
The Provincial Bank of Kuangtung will start business within a few days' time. The Bank will make an issue of notes, against which the Government will require that there shall be a 40 per cent. specie security.
Bank of China notes have dropped to 77 per cent. of their face value.—Reuter.
