I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to acknowledge the receipt of your letter 5203/1904 of the 19th instant, forwarding a copy of a despatch from the Officer Administering the Government of Hong-Kong in which he encloses a copy of a letter from the Hong-Kong Chamber of Commerce to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, pressing for the opening of the ports of Nanning, Kongmoon and Wuchow.

1. With regard to Nanning, I am to state, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that this place was opened as a Treaty Port by Imperial Decree, but that the amount of trade has never been sufficient to make the establishment of a Custom House there necessary, nor has a Consul been appointed.

2. With reference to Kongmoon, I am to inform the Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
