TRAFFIC IN GOLD. Extraordinary stories of profits made by Indians, Greeks, Arabs and Syrians by exporting sovereigns to India, and the Far East, where gold coin and gold are at n substantial premium, were freely curren;. throughout South Africa during the war;Owing to the impossibility oi getting natives to accept notes, the export of sovereigns was prohibited except, to Mozambique, which supplies the bull: of native labour for the mines. The loophole afforded by tho possibility of exporting by way of Lourenco Marques was eagerly seized, and Asiatics in the Union wore continually applying to banks for payment.in gold, this being exchanged for South African notes in Lourenco Marques at a, considerable profit, and the Union of -South Africa being drained of sovereigns. The Government has now stopped the traffic.
