Sir,

I am, etc. to request you to inform the Board of Trade that in connection with the exhibit organized by the Govt. of Hong Kong at the British Empire Exhibition, a difficulty has arisen in regard to silver-work.

It is desired that a part of the Hong Kong exhibit shall consist of native artisans engaged in the manufacture of Chinese small articles of silver as is done in Hong Kong, and it appears that such articles cannot be sold as silver in this country unless hall-marked, while the silver commonly used in Hong Kong is not of sufficient fineness (900 as against 925 which is the standard in this country) to enable it to be stamped.

  1. Mr. Thomas will be glad to learn whether there will be any objection to the sale of such articles.
