 MONEY, ETC.— DIPLOMATIC REPRESENTATIVES — BOOKS 825

Money, Weights and Measures.

A law passed in 1898 provided for a gold standard, which was established OB June 4, 1900. The new coinage consists of: the gold condor of 10 sin-res weighing 8 136 grains, and containing 7 3224 grams of fine gold (equivalent to the English sovereign), the silver tucre and its sub-divisions, and nickel and coppor pieces. The sucre, so called front the likeness of Marshal Sucre (a former President) imprinted on the coin, is legal tender only up to 10 sucres. In 1917 subsidiary nickel coins of 5 and 10 ceutavos were issued.

By a law of December 6, 1866, the French metrical system of weights and measures was made the legal standard of the Republic ; but is not adopted by commerce. The quintal is equivalent to about 101 pounds.
