A small part OF the commerce or
the world is still carried on by the
use OF shells as a medium OF ex-
change. The Portuguese found this
sort OF money In use by the natives
OF the eastern coast Of Africa when
they opened up trade in that region
and have found it to their advantage
to continue the practice. Fortunes
a said TO have been made by col
lecting the shells on one part o, the
African coast and putting them in
circulation at point only a few
hundred miles away. These shells
arc sold by weight The price varies
according as the supply compares
with the demand. Prices have been
known to double and even treble
within a few months. The prices
also vary greatly within short dis
tances. What has cost the merchant
from Fifty cents to 81 in the market
will often bring him So or IS worth
