Sir,
Jet
With reference to our letter of the 1st November,
1930, No.A/474, regarding the securities deposited with us
on account of the note issue of the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation in Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements,
I have the honour to report for the information of the
Secretary of State that we have released £500,000 4% Consoli-
dated Loan Bonds 1957 or after to the Bank and have received
in exchange £500,000 4% Funding Loan Bonds 1960/90.
2.
In addition to the above we have also released
to the Bank £10,000 London County 21% Consolidated Stock
Certificates and £15,000 3% Local Loans 1912 or after Stock
Certificates. As the total value of the securities deposited
with us is stated by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation to be considerably in excess of the amount
required we have not called upon the Bank to lodge fresh
securities in place of these bonds.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
hopy to
Treamy
