5.--MONEY ORDERS.
The decrease of £22,522 in the total volume of money order transactions in the year under review, as compared with the previous year, is accounted for by the loss of business since the closing of the British Postal Agencies in China at the end of November 1922. The business otherwise remains steady after the slump of 1921 and 1922.
The figures for the China Agencies will disappear from the comparative tables in 1924.
The sending of telegraphic money orders has shown a change since there were more orders received from Great Britain than despatched from Hongkong. 76 orders equal to £1,376.0.0 were received against 37 orders equal to £610.0.0 despatched to the Homeland; whereas in 1922 the figures were 31 orders equal to £721.0.0 received and 57 orders equal to £734.12.0 despatched.
A direct exchange of money orders with the Netherlands East Indies came into force on the 1st November.
The domestic transactions in British and Local Postal Orders also decreased to the extent of £5,265 and £1,000 respectively in the issue and payment of Sterling Orders and $46,400 in the dollar orders, due to the withdrawal of the Agencies in China.
