I had the honour to receive from you on the 19th instant a telegram stating that a Special Committee had recommended the coinage of a British Dollar for Hong Kong, and suggesting that the Indian Mints should be asked to coin such dollars at one per cent seignorage.

2. On the 24th instant I informed you by telegraph that in view of the great difficulties of the question I would await the receipt of the report of the Committee referred to by you, before coming to any decision.

3. I have also received your telegram of the 27th instant, reporting that the Committee recommend the abandonment of the proposal to legalize the Japanese Yen in Hong Kong.
