SILVER DOLLAR DISCOUNT.

CHINESE COMMUNITY'S

COMPLAINT.

The presence of an overwhelm ing number of foreign silver dollars in Hongkong and the detrimental effect which they have on the small Chinese traders

and street hawkers, again for ed a subject of discussion at the monthly meeting of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. The meet- ing was presided over by Mr. Ll Yick-mui, supported by Mr. Chau Yu-teng (the vice-Chairman) and Mr. Chan Heung-pak (the Secretary.)

Mr. Chan Heung-pak informed the meeting that letters complain- ing of the detrimental effect of silver dollars on trade had been received from the Fresh Fish Guild and Firewood Dealers Guild, They asked the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce

to bring the matter to the attention of the Currency Committee. .On the receipt of these complaints, the Chinese Chamber wrote to the Currency Committee on the 13th instant to the effect that the entire commercial community of the Colony was at present suffer- ing from the effects of the dis- count of the silver dollar, the smaller traders particularly. So long as there was no means of preventing the importation silver dollars into the Colony, there seemed to be no way of re- moving the present disparity be- tween the value of banknotes and of silver.

Functions of the Chamber. An interesting point concerning the functions of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce as a re- presentative institution of mercial houses in the Colony or as a representative body for all Chinese interests, was raised when the Secretary reported to the meeting that two Chinese women of the poorer class had appealed to the Chinese Chamber for 3- afsistance and advice.
