SCARCITY OF CHAEoE.-We understand
that change, both paper and silver, is
growing inconveniently scarce at the
banks and among the retailers OF the city.
This state Of things is not peculiar TO
Wheeling. .Asimilar complaint is COM
ing to u' from all the principal points.
In the East the pressure for change gives
slight premium to paper scrip as well
4, silver, SO that, for the moment, we wit.
meas the apparent paradox OF premium
on both paper and silver. The gold value
Of the greenback is now $50 cents, the in.
trinsic value Of silver coin 81 cents, OF
the proposed Sherman dollar 0ol cents,
and Of the proposed Morrill, dollar 9S4.
The country will get another million OF
small coin this week, and there may be
some difficulty in making change for a
few days, unless Senator ShGman's harm
less bill should be passed, authorizing the
silver dollar and the issue of subsidiary
coin for greenbacks. This last clause
would throw the silver into use at once
