GOLD COIN SMUGGLING.]

LAROF BUSINESA TROM STRAITS PORTS.

---

The reports recently of the scizurë of large quantities of both British and American geld coins caused no surprise to those who have gone into- the question and know the reason for the attempts. says the Rangoon Gazette, of May 7. In India the shipment of gold by any one except the Government or even the dealing in gold coin is prohibited. The man in the street has wondered when there is such a shortage in circulation, why any one caught bringing it into the province is prosecuted and his gold confiscated. When the value of gold depreciated a war ordinance was passed giving Government only the right to handle gold. This was dones with a view ofkeeping up the sterling value of the rupee, the Government paying to this day Rs. 15 for every sovereign. Against this the Govern ment of India have to contend with the Straits Settlements and Penang where gold freely circalates and where an American twenty dollar gold piece can be bought for Rs. 43 and readily sold in Rangoon and India for from Rs. 55 to 59. Sover- eigns can be bought for Rs. 10, and Rs. 11 in those places and can be readily disposed of in Burma or in lodia for Ra.: 12 and Rs. 13. This shows that if the shipment is a large one, such as those that have been seized on the steamer "Hong Moh." in Rangoon, the first of which was £42,000, the second £8,000 and the last, a few days ago, £87,679 the business of smuggling this gold is an enorimously profitable one.

HUGE PROFITS.

It has been alleged that certain firms who successfully got through their shipments without detection made a profit last year of twenty- eight lakhs. Rangoon is not the only place where this smuggling has been tried. Moulmein, where the recent Customs case was tried is another place and later advices fromm there show that seizures are still "being made there of gold coin. Just. so long as the vatus in one British possession of gold remains different from the value in all other British possessions where gold can be bought at the market rate, just so long will those willing to take a chance for tig profits carry on their games. These coins can be secreted in so many places aboard a steamer owing to their small size that it makes the work

The next day a diver was sent down. but nothing more was found. The profit on this shipment. roughly speaking at the prevailing rates in the Rangoon bazaar would have been upwards ofa lakh of rupees had it been successfully smuggled through. It is said that where one shipment is detected others are not and that in consequence there is plenty of gold in the country. Much of the gold sa smuggled into Rangoon is sent to Bombay where a feady market is always to be found for it. In consequence of the possi- bilities of the trade in gold coin the Customs officials have their work cut out to detect these shipments. More than once it is stated that bags et gold coin. have been brought into port, have been undiscovered, and the ship has left port again with the gold still on board only to be returned to the shipper at the other end or
