could furnish figures showing the legitimate annual requirements of the country, there was nothing on which to base a figure, in view of the uncertainty whether opium said to be exported to Mexico actually reached that destination. In this connection Mr. Severn pointed out that the Hong Kong farmer had agreed to a reduction of the opium which he could export to ten chests a-mouth (120 a-year).
Mr. Alston promised to telegraph to the Minister at Mexico, and the meeting adjourned after recapitulating the points on which agreement had been arrived, viz., D that the farmer should be allowed to prepare 260 chests a-year for local consumption in Macao, and that the Macao Government would adopt whatever regulations the Hong Kong Government may be able to impose as the result of the negotiations now in progress with Mexico.
