BRITISH STAMPS AS GERMAN COIN.

NEW FLIGHT FROM THE MARK.-

As extraordinary result of the decfino of the ́ German mark is disclosed by Mesara Samuel Montagu and Co, the Foreign ex- change firm.

They state that considerable parcels 'of English postage stamps are being sent to Germany, and suggest that German working Sinnes class in the flight from the mark, men are following the magnates of the As it is not easy for them to buy pound notes, they are purchasing English postage stamps.

Another object, no doubt, says n London paper, is to use these stainpa for internal trading, just as French stamps were used during the war and in 1919 in the period small change was unprocurable in France.

A month ago the return of the Imperial circulation during that week were inernased by 1,595,000,000,000 marks, bringing the tatal amount of marks up to 10,000,000,000,000
