Hongrong, Stü October, 1903.

The P. & O, S. N. Co.'s steamer Malta was due to arrive at Singapure about Saturday with a large consigument of the new Straits dollars, as we announced a short time ago. It appears that she inast have reached Singapore on Friday last, as the principal banke here were formed on Saturday morning from their branches in the Southern port that the import of British and Mexican. dollars thither has been probibited. This step, bas of course been anticipated, it being

understood that the Straits Government was only awaiting the arrival of a sufficient supply of ite new dollars, which have been minted at Bombay, to enable it to dispense with any further importation of British and Mexican coins. The latter are still legal tender, but no more will be allowed to nter the Straits Settlements from without Thus the first actual step in the establish ment of a fixed standard for silver in the Biraits has been taken, and the progress of a change which must ultimately occur also in Hongkong may now be witnessed in the noighbruring British Colony. Needless to say, it will be watched with the greatest interest. The Philippines anticipated the alteration în currency by a few months, and there can be no doubt that the difficulties encountered there will repeat themselves in the Straits. But that they will not be overcome in time and with that no one can believe. That the change will be advan. tageous many dispute, but their arguments fail to convines those who know the evils of
