My Lord,

With reference to my Despatch

No. 242 of the 29th. of July, I have the honour to trans-

-mit copy of a Despatch which I have addressed to His

Britannic Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking concern-

-ing the re-opening of the Canton Mint for the coinage of

20 cent pieces.

2.

In the same Despatch I have

referred to the present financial crisis in China which

has been largely induced by the non-observance by Chinese

private banks (and probably by Chinese Government Banks

also) of the regulations issued in 1909, copy of which

is enclosed for convenience of reference, concerning the

issue of bank notes by Government and Private Banks.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF CREWE,

Officer Administering the Govern-
