The prices ruling in Hongkong for goods im-

ported from Europe are such as to leave a very substantial

margin of profit to the local retailers and the cheaper

rates obtainable through a Co-operative Society would prove

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Mhathan

Governor,&c.
