In reply to your Confidential Despatch of

the 5th. ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that the

Company of F. L. Mondon, Limited, was registered here on the

26th. of March,

1902.

It is a Shanghai Company and has no branch

in this Colony. According to the list of shareholders filed

with the Registrar of Companies on 28th. May, 1903, there were

28 Foreign and 26 British shareholders. The large majority of

the shares were, however, held by E. L. Mondon and other

Foreigners and I do not consider that the business can proper..

ly be called a British concern.

The list of shareholders for 1904 has not

2.

yet been filed.

3.

The business carried on by the Company is

that of a General Store and Ship Chandlery. The Company has

branches in most of the more important Northern Ports.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.0., M.P.、
