I am directed by
M Secretary Chamberlain to
request you
to call the
attention of the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce to the
2 passages
marked on
page 3
the enclosed consular report
on the trade of Amoy
for the year ended 31st Dec. 1895.
It will be seen that there
is a large demand for iron pans on the part of
the Chinese population of Hongkong
and the Straits Settlements which
might, it is suggested,
be supplied from Birmingham
thus opening a trade in iron pans.
Draw attention of Birmingham Ch. of Com. to what is said
W. Chamberlain
