INDIAN RUPEE IS NOW A
LEGAL TENDER IN EGYPT.
CAIRO. Egypt. May 5. — The Indian
rupee has just been made legal tender
In Egypt, and large quantities of the
coins have been brought into circula
tion.
There has for some time been a
shortage of silver and other change
In Egypt, owing to the great Influx
of troops. A considerable quantity
of newly minted Egyptian coin was
brought from England last year, but
it proved insufficient to meet the lo
cal demand. Some of the consign
ments brought from England were lost
at sea, and since it would take some
time lo replace them, the Egyptian
| government decided for a time at least
Ito use the Indian rupee, large qnan
j tities of which are available. The
, I innovation is only a provisional one
! until sufficient new coin can be
! tinted in England and sent out.
