Patell & Company a Parsee firm who have offices at Hongkong, Canton, Shanghai and elsewhere want to ship 250 tons of antimony to America. Buyer is C. S. Paget of New York. Patell & Co. are negotiating with Paget through Purnell §.
Patell Paget an American firm of architects in Canton.
& Co. think that Paget would be unwilling to disclose to them name of party to whom he will sell. They have told Paget that any antimony shipped must be shipped to order of H.B.M. Consul General at New York and Paget has accepted. May shipment be allowed on these terms. H.B.M.Ambassador would
be informed. Vide however Who's Who for April. Of course
these two transactions may have no connection.
MAY.
