Money, Weights, and Measures.— The Ban< t ue d'Algerie has begun operations in the Regency and issues Tunisian bank notes.

The legal coinage since 1892 consists of pieces similar to the French, the pieces being coined in France.

The ounce = 31 487 grammes ; the multiples of the ounce are the various denominations of the Rottolo, which contains from 16 to 42 ounces.

The Kajffis (of 16 vhibas, each of 12 sahs) = 16 bushels.

The principal measure of length is the pile : the pik ^rfeiforlinen= -5392yd. ; the pik Turki for silk = 7058 yd. ; the pik Andonlri for cloth = 7094 yd.

French weights and measures have almost entirely taken the place o' those of Tunis, but corn is still sold in kajffis and ichibas.
