Men ultimately began to exâ€" periment with ships. When they did, they met new people and trade conâ€" tinued to grow. The early ships were small and their cargo space was limited. It became the practice for merchants trading overseas to carry as currency the most valuable of their own commodities to exchange for other products. ‘These were comparatively standard for parâ€" ticular communities as, for instance, Phoenician merchants knew the noedo of each country they visited and they knew what each had ‘to offer in exâ€" At first, all trade was local and on a barter basis.

The following is a reâ€" cent reference by Dun‘ and Bradstreet, Incorporated, to the gold standard:â€" Gold Standard, Past and Presentâ€" Originally the Gold Standard was an expedient adopted by ‘the ppinclpal trading <nations to facilitate the : setâ€" tlements arising from intemmt.iqnfl commerce.

The ‘plan is a publc offering of treasury stock. One of the items of particular interâ€" est in the letter to the sharenolders. of the Paymaster is as follows:â€""Reâ€" member our ‘principal group of proâ€" perties has already produced approxiâ€" mately $1,500.000.00 in gold under forâ€" mer mangagement.

As time passed, and people grew to nave explicit confidence in the integrity of the government, presentations for reâ€" demption became neligible. Gold was requested then only for gifts at the holiday season and for export in interâ€" national <settlements. . Gold Standard Served Well For many years prior to the World War the course of international trade was smooth. Settlements were made when necessary, by shipment of gold and currencies, or foreign exchange tehded to keep foreign exchange rates from fluctuating beyond an extremely nadw range. â€"At the outbreak of the war ‘the Gold standard was suspended to conserve m After the end Oof the war the na.t?m was resumed by the but so much had hap-] ln the interval that the old] ‘eoiflfortable equilibrium was not resâ€" tored.
