W
goli, so why should wo Eastern shareholders be placed at a great disadvantage with London Shareholders by being called upon to pay gold equivalents in silver, at the current ruinous rate of +xchange? It seems aa egregions mistake to say that, by paying nur allotments at the current rate of the day, we out here are placed in the same position as shareholders on the Londonregister. The latter are not debarred from placing their shares on the China Register when exchange suits, whereas we cannot transfer own shares to the London Register. The London shareholder is thus at a great advantage. He pays in gold, and is always likely to get back his £42 101 on the new shares in sterling, but if we pay, say, $133.33 as the equivalent of £ia ros, and exchange falls still lower we are not likely to see the value of own £4110s, again. To be strictly on an equality with London shareholders the China shareholders ought to, have the London Register open to them.
Please ventilate this matter, and kindly give your readers the benefit of your opinion on the subject.
Yours faithfully,
A SHAREHOLDER.

The P. M. S. S. Co.'s steamer China, Captain W. B. Scabury, bringing the American mail, with dates from San Francisco to the rith last arrived here this morning. The following telegrams are taken from our San Francisco exchanges:-
LONDON, March 3rd,
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, MARCH 31, 1890.
WASHINGTON, March 3rd... Dispatches from Pekin, China, announce that. Viceroy Li Hung Chang has formulated a pro feet which will mark a new era in the Chinese commercial system. He has decided to establish a system of aliver coinage which shall be uniform throughout the empire. The project is favorably viewed by the Prime Minister, Prince Chun, and has been submitted to the Emperor by n memorial now being urged by the Viceroy, the Prime Minister and most of the influentio! and progressive men.
A reporter called at the Chinese Legation to inquires about the matter and was informed by Hoshen Chee, who is interpreter, that this ques- ion has long been under consideration and was the pet scheme of Li Hung Chang,
"Heretofore," he said, "we have had only copper currency, ranging in value from a mill to a cent. The Government has never issued paper currency, this privilege being entirely in the hands of private banking houses. Of gold and silver coin of our own we have had none, but gold leaf and bars of gold as well as silver have been in use as measures of value, and when in merchant or trader desires money he could deposit them with private banking houses as collateral and get the notes of banking houses to use in bis business."
"At seaports the English shilling, Mexican dollar and Japanese yen have come into general use, and this more than anything else suggesteri the advisability of having silver currency of our own. I think the intention is to coin silver up to the value of $1, and the Government also in- tends to grant charters to certain banking houses, empowering them to issue paper pur- rency, something on the order of your national bank system. This will greatly simplify busi- ness transactions and will be an aid to commerce."
