THE CURRENCY OF EUROPE.

The following figures, which we find in an
exchange may be of some value occasionally
for reference in the discussion of the currency
question, which seems 10 be al present but
farely begun in this country.
The total amount of gold coin circulating
in the united kingdom Of Great Britain and
Ireland at the close of 1872 was 1874 SOL 900
sterling; silver elj000,000; bronze, 81, 49,
900; excess of bank notes over coin reserves,
GAO, $4,000; total circulation in coin and
notes, fl41 $4,000; being equivalent in
United States gold coin to $3.50, 421, $40. The
metallic currency, coin and bullion of France
is given at 4,00O000,000 francs; notes of the
bank of France in circulation on Dec 30, 1913
1907, $50 $50 francs; total, GS07, $50 925 francs
Deduct metallic reserve in bank Dec 90,
$50 1862, 4l9 francs, and the currency circula-
ton is G,047,727,206 francs, equivalent in
United States gold com, at twenty cents L. he
franc, to 81 200 SAG, AL In the twenty wo
states composing the North German Conicd-
Grafton the supposed aggregate Of coin ev
632 ABB, 1862 ihalers. The coin held in rescr is
by the banks to protect their note circulation
Is 100,000000 thalers, leaving in the hands of
the people 532, 435,362 thalers. The notes in
the hands of the people amountto 253, 159,504
thalers, equivalent in United Statessgold coin
to S551, 772,09S. The German government in
the last two years has coined about 4,OOO,-
600 thacrS in gold.
From the above it will appear that in Eng
land the gold and silver circulation is flO3,
100000 against e31,100,000 in notes; in
France 4,000,000000 francs of metallic cur
rency against 2,S07, GS962j francs in notes; in
Germany, G32 ,535,362 tEalers of metallic cur
rency against 253, lj9,142 thalers OF paper

In the United States there is virtually no
metallic currency, and the note circulation,
including national bank notes, legal tenders,

exceeds $500 100000
