That is an emphatic expres- sion of representative public opinion at the other end of the Colny. Equally emphatic was the expression at this end of the Colony when leading merchants, traders, properly owners and professional men (European, Indian and Chinese) signed the petitition presented to the Governor a week ago, also in favour of fixity of exchange, that His Excelleccy wired to the Colonial Office.
