BRITISH LEGATION, PEKING,

d C APR 04!

2nd February, 1904.

I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that I have received a letter from the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, urging the opening of the port of Nanning to foreign trade.

I do not gather that any considerable commercial development is to be expected from such a step but that it is recommended rather in view of French activity in South China, which it is thought renders the appointment of a British Consular Officer to reside at Nanning desirable.

I beg to state that even should Your Lordship approve such an appointment, there is at present no member of the Consular Service available for the post.
