The letters and amounts of Indian opium mentioned in the "goods received" book proves fairly smclusively that the amount of Indian opium which is allowed to be sold in Kwong Chow Van is greatly in excess of the requirements of the place, I have already draw attention to this as the result of examinations of documents found in other cases. It will be interesting to ascert-in how much Indiar opium was sold to the opium farmer during the period mentioned by the Government of Indo-Chine, as compared with the snoute set out in this book as actually sold by one firm to Hongkong er route to Chins, besides the raw Indian opium mentioned, all

the high priced prepared opium especially that with the mark "Lam Kei" would contein a very large amount of Bangal opium mixed with Chinese.

Of the prepared opium mentioned that marked "Lam

Kei" is the brand put up for sale to United States of

America. It was originally the chop of the Macao opium farmer and has been extensively copied the last two years

by the many opium boiling establishments which have sprung

up in Kwong Chow Wan. So far as I am aware opiur of this

brend has never been met with in use here, but a large proportion of the opium intercepted on its way to the United States of America has bome this mark. Of the other brande mentioned, the "Tin Shing", Double "K", and 4 Hei", have been frequently found here recently, these are general- ly 1 tael tins, whereas the Lam Kei tin generally contains

teels.

6. The raw opium mentioned was sold in various ways by the firm in Hongkong. The Indian opiur seems to have almost entirely gone to Shanghal at very high prices up to £37 0 per ball equivalent to 14,800 per chest, whereas the price which the Government here le paying comes to $2,400 per chest c.i.f. While the price quoted in Kwong Chow Wan as paid to the Government (see letter found in 108 Des Voeux Road) is only 16,300 per chest. From the correspondence
