This shows, as we expected, that the objection to the Yen is simply the Bankers' fear of the competition, a rival Japanese Bank.

As regards Japan ousting Great Britain in India from the Chinese trade, I fail to see that legalizing the Yen will materially affect it.

The Governor in this despatch rashly prophesies as to the effect of India's silver policy on Trade with the East, and had better refrain from competing.
