Mr. Gardiner Austin and
I have also had a conference with the managers of the Banks and the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the event of Her Majesty's Government declining to coin dollars for circulation in China I venture to ask Your Lordship to reconsider the old scheme of my predecessor, Sir Hercules Robinson, — the Hongkong Mint.

No doubt if the Government of the Straits Settlements would co-operate, a local mint might be established here at a smaller outlay than was contemplated in 1866.
The successful establishment of such a mint would possibly be the best cure for the serious evil felt by the growing commercial community in this and the neighbouring colonies. I shall however await Your Lordship's instructions before reopening the question.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most Obedient humble Servant.
