Gold Coins Offered in
India at Bargains
A despatch from ° London says:—
Many Englishmen, resident in India,
have- come home on vacation lately
bringing bags of gold 'coins such as
have not been in circulation here since
the war.
They explain that sovereigns are so
plentiful in India that money change
ers have been offering -them, in ex-
change for rupees at a lower rate than
English notes. Sovereigns can be
bought in tho bazaars for thirteen ru-
pees and five annas at the present
time, Whereas at the end' of the war
it tooktwenty rupees to buy a sever-
eign.
The reason for the glut is the greed
for hoarding gold in India which ab-
sorbed half the world's output last
year. Now there is more of the pre-
cious metal on hand than the hoarders
and banks know what to do with,.
