Sir John Jordan has received a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong stating that the subsidiary coins issued by the Canton Mint still circulate at a heavy discount in the Colony, spite of the reduction in their issue which has proved insufficient
to be really effective.
in
His Excellency observes that on October 5th last a Decree was issued establishing a tael currency with subsidiary coins in decimal parts of a tael, and he enquires whether it is the intention of the Chinese Government to withdraw the existing subs- idiary coins representing decimal parts of a dollar, and whether the output of the Provincial Mints will be under Central Control.
As no information has reached Sir John Jordan, since
the issue of the Decree of October 5th, regarding the question of introducing a uniform currency as provided for in the 2nd pxxXYIXEX Article of the Commercial Treaty of 1902, he would be obliged if the Wai Wu Pu would be good enough to acquaint him in this wxÈtax with the intentions of the Chinese Government in this matter, of which the importance to British trade in China is very great.
