the demand is practically limited to China, the re-

quirements of Formosa being for a grade of Persian opiu

At the present time considerable quantities of

Persian opium are shipped from Hongkong to Kwang-chow-

wan and there can be no doubt that it is thence

smuggled into China, so that the prohibition of the im-

portation of Turkish and Persian opium into the Colony

would, in my opinion, materially assist in checking

this contraband trade which the present freedom of

import tends to encourage.
