Your telegram of 18th May. Indigo and dye-stuffs are practically those referred to in my telegram of the 1st May with very small additional quantities from non- British ports. Articles not specifically named coal-sacks, horseshoes, leather, cattle-food, pigskins, telephone apparatus, dynamite, detonators, cartridges, hemp cloth, meat except Australian frozen meat, sodium nitrate. These articles and those referred to in my telegrem of 21st April chiefly come from China partly from non-British ports some in local retail export trade may be from British ports but consignments for such trade are mixed by passing through various hands and it becomes impossible to trace origin. Dynamite comes from England. Last paragraph of your tele- gram chief exports to all six places are oil products and

scrap-metal but very small quantities of any of the

articles enumerated may go to any of these places. Your

telegram of 4th May, may I apply your permission for trans-

shipment cargo from non-British ports to goods from same ports which have been stored here temporarily and which may

change hands here.
