A One Cest Business.

Theve is a man in this city who is
amassing handsome fortune by buying
and selling pennies, two and three-cent
pieces, and five.cent nickels. In many of
the newspaper offices, news depots, ferry
offices, retail houses where cheap goods
are sold, bakeries and other places, the
accumulation of small coin very often
becomes so large as to be cumbersome.
II cannot be disposed Of, for coin is so
plenty that customers object to taking it
in change in any great quantity, and in
business houses where it is needed the
regular sources of supply are always
ample. The coin might be sent to the
Philadelphia Mint for redemption, but
the requirements of the redemption de-
partment are enough to discourage any
business man. TO send pennies to the
mint they must first be sorted and
wrapped in packages of five dollars each.
Coin of each separate mintage must be
put together. 1t will not do to mix the
oldfashioned coppers with bright or
bropze-colored nickels, nor can two or
a three cent piece be mixed with the
pennies. If they are packed in this way
they are not even counted at the mint,
but are shipped back to the sender with
out delay or notice of any kind. The law
also prescribes that the coins shall be
packed in iron bound boxes, and shipped
at the sender's expense. AS coins are
heavy, the cost of transportation is con-
siderable. The officials count the money
at their leisure, and sometimes the sender
does not hear from his consignment in
nearly year. He thus loses the use of
his money for that length of time. This
combination of vexatious details pre-
vents those who have an accumulation
of coin from sending 1t to the mint, and
it seems as though the officials at Phila-
delphia intended that they should not be
troubled with it.
Every day man rides to the news
paper and other offices in buggy. and
buys the coin which has been taken in
from the newsboys and the customers.
For the pennies and two-cent pieces he
pays ninety-seyen cents q hundred, and
for the three and five cent nickels he
gives ninety-nine cents for dollars
worth. The sellers are glad to dispose
of the coins at this discount. The man
then rides to about the only tradesmen in
the city who desire quantity OF pennies
the pawnbrokers-and TO them he sells
the coins at par, taking their notes for
three months in payment.
The pawnbrokers who have shops
among the poorer classes say that they
need small denominations of fractional
currency or coin, as many of their loans
do not exceed ten or fifteen cents. Many
poor persons pawn their articles of wear
ing apparel or trinkets only when driven
to do so by the want of single meal of
food, and such are not particular as to
the denomination of the money they re-
ceive. The pawnbrokers give their notes
without interest, thereby gaining the use
of the money for three months.-Nep
