THE BRANCH MINT AT BOMBAY
The heavy and continuous demand by the United kingdom and the Allies for Indian products which are of importance for the prosecution of the war, together with military expenditure in the East debitable to the War Office and involving the indirect remittance of very large sums, has caused an unprecedented expansion in the normally favourable trade balance of India. During the past six months, remittances in liquidation of this trade balance have been partly made by the shipment from debtor countries of gold coin and bullion. The gold held in the Paper Currency Reserve in India rose from £6,623,000 on 31st May to £17,069,000 on the 15th December. In order that all the gold so imported may be available to maintain the metallic portion of the Government of India's Paper Currency Reserve held for the encashment of Currency Notes, it was notified on the 29th June that all gold imported into India on private account would be subject to licence and would be acquired by the Government of India at the rate of 15=£1 or 1 rupee=7-53344 grains troy of fine gold. On 26th September, pursuant to the raising of the rate for the sale by the Secretary of State of telegraphic transfers on India from 1s. 4½d. to 1s. 5d. the rupee, these rates were altered to Rs. 14½=£1 or 1 rupee = 7.79321 grains troy of fine gold. The British sovereign is legal tender in India, and sovereigns imported and sold to the Government are there are immediately available for the purpose mentioned above. But the active trade demand for coin to finance heavy movements of exports, and the requirements of Government to make disbursements to troops, impose a considerable strain on the Government of India's metallic resources and make it desirable to hold the gold, no less than the silver, in the metallic portion of the Paper Currency Reserve as far as possible in the form of legal tender coin. Since the beginning of the war the Government of India’s currency note circulation has expanded irom Rs. 75,44,00,000 to Rs. 110,63,00,000. It has therefore been decided to provide facilities for coining into sovereigns the gold bullion and foreign coin coming into the Paper Currency Reserve under the provision mentioned above. The establishment of a branch of the Royal Mint at Bombay was accordingly authorised by Royal Proclamation dated the 21st December to take effect from the date of promulgation in India.

WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION
A Fine Exhibit from India
Chicago, Ill., Aug 4.—The best Indian exhibit is likely to develop with a large and attractive display. United States Consul General Ballantine, at Bombay, in a recent communication to Director General Davis, shows that interest in the exhibition is becoming very general in the large cities and at some of the native courts of India. The native princes as well as the merchants and manufacturers are now fully awakened to the importance of a representation.
The official jeweler to His Highness, the Maharajah of Cutch, has decided to send rare specimens of filigree gold and silver work. The Brahma Samaj of India in Calcutta has chosen Babu P. C. Mozoomdar, and the Arya Samaj of India has selected Swami Bhaskaranand as representatives of their Hindoo sects to the world’s religious congress to be held at Chicago in connection with the exposition.
