Officers of a Wellington money-chang-ing establishment give credit to Hindu visitors to this country as being the best posted on money and exchange. “I don’t know why that should be,” said an officer, “but the fafft remains that they know everything that is to be known about exchange. Possibly it is because many in India live so close to the bread line that every fraction of a rupee counts, but whatever it is, they not only know the procedure, but keep track of the day-to-day fluctuation of the rupee. There have been cases in which they have put us right.”
