used to import. Hong Kong an all coins for the Authorities & the orders were not large. The reason given was that they would only order as much as they had coin in hand to pay for, and I am told that they adhere to that rule now in ordering from the Mint.

There is no doubt that the natives prefer the British coin as being of a better “touch” than their own which I am told is not up to the standard of the first issue.

Chinese and Siamese are not all alike; silver is not always liked.

It is impossible to estimate the probable requirements in this line, but if the suppression of the small "Cash notes" continues to be enforced the amount will in all probability be large. I am afraid that the Proclamation above referred to (para. 2) will shock the Hong Kong currency.
