We have been engaged in the import into this country of Antimony and other ores from Hongkong and other points in the Far East, and recently have been given to under- stand that an embargo has been placed on this business with
This, respect to shipments originating from British ports. therefore, is holding up the execution of certain of our val- uable contracte. ▲ dealers and manufacturers in this soun- try are receiving shipments and offers direct from German houses in various Chine ports, it would appear to us that this embargo places considerable hardships on British firms without any corresponding benefit sooruing to British inter-
ests at Etme.
We understand that the Hongkong authorities are now negotiating with the British Government with regard to this matter, and, pending the outcome of these negotiations. we would ask you to place on file guarantee we have received from one of our principal buyers that such intimony as wê import for his account will not be re-exported.
