The vexea silver Question.
SAN FRANcIsco, April l0.--The
action of the merchants in regard to
the trade dollars is causing marked
Appreciation in silver coin. Silver
half dollars are now quoted by brok-
ers at Ct and II per cent. discount.
The amount of subsidiary silver coin
in circulation in the city has been
greatly reduced of late, owing to the
Iock-ap process of bank dcpositors,
who have large amounts in banks and
are unwilling to sell, except at a
profit. In the business portion OF the
citv, trade dollars are refused as a
general thing, while other silver coin
is freely accepted.
