Gentlemen: -

with reference to your letter of the 5th instant
respecting the importation of Formosan Sugar into liongkong,
I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to state that only
Japanese candied sugar is declared to be bounty-fed by
the International Sugar Commission and that no special
measures have so far been taken by the Commission against
Formosan as distinct from Japanese, sugar generally.
Enquiries are being made for the purpose of ascertaining
whether there is any legislation in force in Hongkong
prohibiting the importation of sugar of any description
from Japan.
