Wilcox (Secretary),-called to consider what action should be taken on a letter received from the Singapore Chamber of Commerce, dated 26th August.
The letter, which stated that the Singa- pore Committee had under consideration the question whether the Governmout should be approached with the object of devising some means of obtaining fixity of exchange, and whether it might not be possible for the Hongkong Chamber to work together with them หา moving for nomo remedy for the evils brought on by the very heavy decline in silver, was rond.
