With reference to the letter from this Office of the 30th
of March last, relative to the application of the Mercantile Bank
of India, Limited, to be granted the privilege of a Note Issue in
Hong Kong, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain to request
you to inform your Directors that as a Government Note Issue will
very possibly be shortly established in that Colony, he regrets
that he cannot accede to their request.
