Referring to my telegram September 28, noon, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank state that shipments of Chinese Government silver to London are continuing at the rate of from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 per week. They deny reports that any Chinese Government silver has been shipped from Hong Kong to Singapore or Manila.
Repeated to Nanking, paraphrase by mail to Singapore, Manila.
