EASTERN No 740
GLONIAL
OFFIC
I have the honour to submit for your con-
sideration the question of the advisability of making the
British dollar legal tender at Weihaiwei. I am of opinion
that in the interests of commerce this would be useful and
convenient and might be productive of much good in the com-
mercial intercourse of north and south China. I understand
that the HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation has ap-
proached the Imperial Government on this matter already and
I recommend the proposal for your favourable consideration.

I have the honour to her
