-No statistics available for periods July, 1925 to March, 1930. In reading the above figures it should be noted that in 1030-31 tho, sterling value of the Hong Kong dollar depreciated very considerable as compared with the previous recorded periode, but, at the same time the fact should not be lost sight of that during the 1030-31 periods sterling wholesale prices recorded a decline of some 25 to 30 per cent., thus offsetting to some extent the ap parent declines in sterling values

The progressive sterling values of imports from the major countries exporting to Hong Kongare shown below for the six months periods ended September 30, in each of the years 1923, 1921, 1030 and 1031
