Import and export circles here are of "the opinion that export pusi- ness will suffer when a uniform currency is adopted but manufac- tuted goods from Shanghai will be cheaper. Then there will be no demand for Hong Kong notes, whose high premium will go down. It is pointed out that Hong Kong Importers do not want high pre- inlum, which increases the prices of foreign goods. The National Government has suggested to Can- ton to adopt the uniform currency
in the interest of monetary uni-
