The Government, on account of the tightness of the money market, proposes to draw out of the surplus of the Maritime Customs receipts, after providing for the securities to various loans and indemnity payments, the sum of six million Shanghai taels for the purpose of sustaining the market.
The Ministry has already informed the foreign representatives and requested their consent. It is desired that cable instructions be sent by the American Government to the American Minister at Peking to give a favorable reply.
