sH1NpLAsrERs IN CHICAGO Some Of our
retail merchants are issuing checks, owing to
the great scarcity of silver change caused = by
the recent heavy expectations Of specie to Eu-
rope. This is deemed necessary in order. to
conduct their business without suffering serious
loss IN trade or profit. Silver change is worth
ten per Ct, and scarce at that, and the mer-
chant will either have to lose this much on ev-
ery dollar of silver he pays out IN making
change, or turn away his customers by refusing
to change bank bills that are presented tor pay

some is the issuing Of checks or 'shinplasters,
