Ntte.— In the above valuations, standard gold is estimated at 77s. 10 Jd., and silver at 5s. per ounce;
fe-at in countries with a silver standard, such as India, the relative sterling value of money changes with the
•current price of silver, which, in November, 1892, was 3s. 3d. per oz., the rupee being at that date about
is. 8d. of sterling value. No account is here taken of the value of paper notes having a forced currency,
an d only convertible from the nominal value to gold at a greater or less discount.
