Exhibition most desirable and on

above lines is considered perfectly feasible.

Importance of Hong Kong as great merchanting

centre can be adequately represented by

exhibit specially designed for

the

purpose to which I have ascertained that there

similar exhibit may be shown on behalf of

London.

If there are goods forming

a staple iter of the merchanting industr

fot produced even on the smallest scale at

Hong Kong question of Weir admissibility will

be considered if list of such goods is wired.
