MONEY ORDERS.

XIX-Should it appear that Money Orders are used by mercantile men, or others, either in the United Kingdom or at Hongkong, Shanghai or Yokohama, for the transmission of large sums of money, the British or Colonial Post-office, as the case may be, will consider the propriety of increasing the commission, and will exercise the power of wholly suspending for a time the issue of Money Orders.
1.-Money Orders are granted at this office on the Post-offices at Shanghai and Yokohama, and in like manner Money Orders are granted at Shanghai and Yokohama upon this office, for sums not exceeding Fifty Dollars, at the ruling rates for Dollars, charged with the following rates of commission, viz:
On Order not exceeding $25...
Above $25 and not exceeding $50..
15 cents. .30
2.-The Money Orders are in each case drawn in Dollars and Cents.
3.-All payments for Money Orders, whether by the Public to the Post-office, or
by the Post-office to the Public, are made in Current Dollars.
4.-The stipulations contained in the preceding notice, so. far as they are ap- plicable, are enforced in conducting the local Money Order system between Hongkong and Shanghai and Yokohama.
