Történet (Angol) |
The loan with a total volume of five million pounds was placed by the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank (London) and the Banque de lIndo-Chine (Paris). The bigger part of the loan (4 million pounds) was used to repurchase the 1899 loan (Kuhlmann No. 91). The remainder went into the buildup of the industry. The Peking-Hankow Railway was inaugurated in December 1905. It consisted of a main line with a length of 755 and 62 miles of secondary lines. Connections to several other railways were in place. 125,000 pieces of the present paper, which was distributed by Banque de L'Indo Chine in Paris, had been issued, but only 6,250 pieces remained in circulation. |
