Opium rs Currency.

In parts of the Hankow district opium
is used as medium OF exchange, and
the Consul there explains the curious
circumstance in this way: Commerce,
except along the water routes, is in a
primitive condition. The great weight
of the copper coinage renders it insult
able for exchange. Silver, which is
used in the small towns, is used in bulk
by weight. 1t is melted into Jumps Of
varying purity and weight. The most
gcnarally used vary from sixty-eight
to seventy ounces each. The inconven-
ience of dividing it is serious drawback
to its being used in the country, as is
also the difficulty of testing its pureness.
The credit of the native bankers is not
widely enough established to give an ex-
tended currency to their notes. Under
these conditions opium is found useful,
in addition to pure barter, which still
prevails to some extent, in facilitating
the exchange of commodities. In this
respect it has three advantagcs-it is al
most universally in demand, it is light
and portable, and it is easily divided
into small quantities. .-L0adon Times.
