TheAmbassador then asked how the bullion
was kept, and he was told, some in soverel8nS,
some in bars, some in coin Of foreign c"un-
ii ies. Notes were issued OF the valn6 Of Nix
teen millions on the Government securities,
and what was issued beyond that sum must
be represented by gold in the vaults. Ii
made II little calculation III mental arlthme-
tic to arrive at the amount Of money then IN

"Whero do you get these gold bars?' he
said.
I'VE bny them when they are offered to Us;
they come to us from all parts of the world.
When gold is brought to us, we are obliged
to give notes for it. The bars are mode by
the rcfiners, who are responsible for a Certain
degree of fneness. The coinage is made as
in other countries. It is struck at the Mint,
not here. The ingots used at tho Mint are
bought by the Bank of the requisite standard
and when the Bank requires sovereigns we
send the ingots to the Mint to be turned into
the sovereigns''
Sir Mark Collet interposed and said: "Ihe

Of the Mint and taking a shilling out of his
pocket, he explained that the coin was reilly
not worth its face value. The Ambassador
looked incredulous, and Sir Mark added:
