Currency in COnstantinOple.

One of the chief difficulties in trading
in Constantinople arises from the cur
rency, or, more strictly, the lack of cur
rency. Very few persons, believe, if
any, are masters,a of the question
of prsctical Turkish finance.
There are francs of differ
ent values and piasters of differ
ent sorts; and no definite amount of any
coin is equal to any particular amount
of another coin. 1t is continual rid
die, from which the perplexed and baf-
fed stranger appeals to his guide, who
makes out the money by some mysteri-
Gus combinations but never succeeds
in making the process permanently
clear. To add TO the trouble, change
just now is very scarce, so that it is
quite likely that the ticket-seler at the
railroad or the steamer may refuse
your money or enforce large dis
count. If you resort to the money
changers who abound along the streets
you have an object lesson in exchange
which will cost you more than you con-
slider it worth. The mixed condition of
things is somewhat increased by the
two kinds of time which are kept. Eu-
ropean time is in common use, but you
find also the Turkish time, in which the
day begins at sunset. They say that
their system is simpler than ours. No
one can tell when it is noon exactly,
they reason, but every one can see
when the sun sets The daily paper
publishes the time for the day, but in
what way the clocks kept time did moi
learn. 1t is happy circumstance that
the equanimity of the Turks is not cas-
ily disturbed Cor. Christian Union.
