Sir,

With reference to your letter of the 16th April No.8767/99 and 20th June No.15523/99 I have the honour to inform you that on the 8th June we received a telegram from the Government of Hong Kong in the words "Stop further shipments of coin until fresh instructions have been received" to which we replied on the same date "Referring to your telegram of 8th June half silver bought and arrangements concluded for proceeding with Mint, with great difficulty, counterorder shipments unless absolutely necessary."

On the 12th June we received an answer from the Colonial Secretary "Referring to your telegram 8th June coins proceed until stock of silver exhausted."

Having informed the Deputy Master of the Mint of this telegraphic correspondence we received from him a letter, copy of which is enclosed, proposing to suspend for a time the regular shipments and to resume them again the third week in August until the reduced indent was completed.

We communicated a copy of this letter to the Colonial Government on the 16th June and requested it to inform us, by telegraph, if the proposed arrangement did not meet with its acquiescence.

The Under Secretary of State,

&C.

&c. &c.

Colonial Office.
