Buying Land In Korea.

Land buying in Korea is a process
which calls for both time and patience.
Bays the London Telegraph. The price
at which land may be procured differs
greatly with the skill Of the purchaser.
Any hasty attempt to buy hurts the
feelings of the owner and creates op-
position. The best plan is to select the
district on which ones fancy rests and
either settle quietly down there or send
an agent to do so instead, letting 1t be
known in general sort of way that
one is disposed to buy. Then the Ko-
feans, who class transactions in land
in the same category with the sale or
purchase Of movable chattels-that Is
to say, as a mere means of procuring
or spending money-will of themselves
come and offer to sell. Then, by the
exercise of a little patience, consid-
cradle tract may be very cheaply ac-
quired in few years.
