Referring to Your Excellency's despatch No.22 of the 13th instant, I have the honour to forward herewith particulara of the output of the Canton Provincial Mint for the two years
33 & 34 Kuanghsu.
Your Excellency will observe that while the output of silver dollars shows a large increase during the past Chinese year, a considerable reduction has been affected in the striking
of 20 cent pieces.
I am making enquiries as to the more recent operations of the Mint, and will inform Your Excellency in due course of
the result of my investigations.
The particulars above referred to have ha already been furnished to His Majesty's Minister and His Majesty's Commercial
Attache.
