states that the treasury has about
six million dollars of silver coin on
hand. 1t is estimated that, during
the months of July and August, So
100000 Of silver fractional pieces
will be coined, which will require
thirtv-seven and a half tons Of silver.
At the treasury department it is cal
culatcd that if the coming crops
should turn out well, ten million dol,
lars Of silver fractional pieces will be
required to supply the place of the
present fractional currency; if badly,
fifteen millions Of coin will be neces.
sary. From the present outlook,
however, it is thought that it will
be perfectly feasible to substitute
silver for fractional paper currency
during the fall, in accordance with
the act Of Congress of January last.
