I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 67 of the 10th instant wherein you request information as to the truth of a report that large quantiti of hides had been purchased, at fancy prices, by the firm of Arnhold Karbarg and Company on behalf of Messrs. Diederichsen and Company and had been shipped to America, Enquiries addressed to various persons in close with the hide market have failed to elicit any confi of the above rumour, and I am inclined to think thự

far at least as Hankow is concerned it is witho

I may mention, in the first place, that Arnh‍ ́

Company have done little or no hide busi-

pase this year, and that any report by them would appear to be, founded confusion between the operations of

of H.E.Arnhold and Company. The lat large quantities of hides during- 30,000 piculs I am toldṛof
