Hong Kong opium smokers sell to Hong Kong people at $1 for 1 ball and 2 mace, and the local licensees sell for $1. 1 Ball vs Race. Compradore thinks $2 1/h a ball for all boilers of Opium. This is less than what Opium pays at Canton. It is more than $2 each. The duty altogether brings $102 a chest.

Suggests levy through compradores of 50° or 25th ad valorem on 2000 a month Bengal $500 - 6000 a year.

400 150 Malwa Terciar 103 1200 40 480 7680 for every 259.

Freight to Macao or Canton $1 a chest. This plan would work through the Compradores. Other plan of licensing for sale of balls would shut up many houses. Thinks $30 a license per month fair.
