I have the honour to enclose, in original to be

returned, a letter dated the 10th instant which we have

received from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation applying for permission to make certain alterations in the

securities deposited with us as Trustees for the Hong Kong

At present prices the value of the securities, if

this exchange is permitted, will exceed the amount of the
