FOREIGN MONEY
ORDERS ARE GIVEN
NEW. SCHEDULE

The marked depreciation of money
European countries, as compared
with the American dollar, is reeog-
nized in a new schedule governing
the issuance of international. money
orders at American postoffices, effec-
tive August rs. --'-s-- - go e-.'
Hsresof6re, the postoffice depart
ment has not taken cognizance of
money, buyers of money orders pay
ing pre-war equivalents for the
pound sterling, ~thef franc and other
foreign currency. The new sched-
ule. announced by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson in postal bulletin
just received at the Office of Assist
ant Postmaster John c. Station, fixes
exchange values approximating those
in effect at banking institutions.
Under the new scale the English
pound sterling is worth 81, instead
of $4.S7; the French. Italian and Bel
gian franc is worth exactly half it's
value before the war, 81 now being
confines. instead of francs and Is
centimes, and the Norwegian, Dam
ish and Swedish kroner show a lesser
shrinkage.
International money order bust
ness at the Atlanta postoffice, with
respect to the countries affected, has
fallen off to negligible amount since
the war, due to the more favorable
rates of exchange prevailing at
banks. An American dollar at bank,
for instance. would buy twice as
many francs as at the postoffice. A
substantial increase in receipts is
expected at the Atlanta office after
August Is, when the postal rate of
exchange becomes practically that in
effect at the Banks. -. =.
