Raw opium trade entirely at standstill. British Merchants sent special representatiøøve to interview Consul-General, Canton. Latter refuses admit monopoly created, states China has liberty tax opium provided tax does not differentiate against foreign opium and can in his opinion entirely prohibit sale under similar conditions if it thinks fit. Under circumstances useless again refer question Consul-

-General.

Chamber of Commerce deprecates attitude Consul-General differs entirely from his interpretation treaties,

In view of large stocks quite unsaleable

and enormous loss which will be incurred by British Opium Merchants and as time is pressing Chamber of Commerce is tele- -graphing direct Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Copies of message and despatch will be forwarded as soon as

possible.

Hewett, Chairman.
