The naper money! which is now the only curren-
cv in circulation, is depreciatlng rapidly, while
in other parts of Germany the circulation OF
Austrian gold and silver is on the increase.
most singular fact is, that while Bavarlan silver
is at high premium in Austria, the Austrian

Ma A Bavaran form passes in Austria for the
same yaIne as an Austrian lorn though 1t is
actually worth one-sixth less. When IN FRANK

bank-notes with gain of fifteen per cent. This
seemed like doing good business, yet could
have made twenty per cent by bringing the SOW

on very ordinary paper Even the copper
