Call for Increased Production to Meet the
Rapidly Growing Demand.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The Treasury depart
ment Is embarrassed as to the proper course to
be pursued in relation to the coinage of the
trade dollar. The demand for these coins at
San Francisco for export to China is quito ac-
tive, and is expected to continue to the last Of
April. The law requires this demand to be
met, but at the present price of the silver and
gold value of the greenback dollar, trade dol
lars can be placed in domestic circulation at
profit of three to four cents to the owners of
silver bullion. portion of the San Francisco
mint coinage of trade dollars is coming East
and bullion dealers in New York and elsewhere
iu the East demand that the Philadelphia
mint shall be opened for the same coinage. 1t
is probable that decision will be reached by
tomorrow, and that it will be to allow deposits
of silver to be made at the Philadelphia mint
for return in trade dollars. If this is done
coinage will be continued at San Francisco
and Carson, and all three Of the mints will
have work sufficient to keep them fully en-
ployed until Congress acts definitely on the
silver question. The director of the mint con-
siders it important to retain the present skilled
force of workmen at the minis in view of the
pending legislation regarding silver coinage.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The cabinet decided
to-day that the coinage of trade dollars should
be resumed at the Philadelphia mint.

husband, and on her way over the river

ENGLISH GRAIN MARKET.

III
The Uncertainty of Political Atfairs De-
anoralisinO Operations.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Mark Lime Er-
press review of the British corn trade says:
There is no improvement in the condition of
home grown wheat on offer, either on the
Mark Lane or country markets, but the Of
ferings have been more liberal, and the re-
serve with which buyers operated tended to
reduce prices l shilling to 2 shillings per
quarter for all but few samples of fine dry
corn, for which the sellers were not disposed
to accept lower rates. In London, especially,
trade has been excessively dull for English
and foreign wheat, and there appears to be
little probability of increased animation.
The uncertainty of political affairs is be-
coming wearisome. Until it is definitely
known what the action of the country is to
be in regard to the position in the East, it
is almost hopeless to attempt to direct at
tention to the probable future course of the
grain trade. At present pacific ideas are iu
the ascendant, and millers who are holding
small stocks have only bought it to meet
immediate wants. The country demand has
moved within the narrowest limits, SO that
holders have been seriously tried in main
tanning frmness, which has been further
shaken by more arrivals of wheat and maize.
The mild season hitherto has been adverse
to sellers, as imports of foreign wheat have
undergone but little diminution Should
prices rally the cause of improvement can
only be expected from political influence.
In this limited business passing during the
past week, a decline of one shilling per quar-
ter has taken place on all varieties of for
eign wheat, while mixed common maize, of
which the arrivals have been liberal, has
given way six pence to the quarter. On Fri
day the market opened with some signs of
excitement, and for short time free sale
was experienced, but soon after midday
peace rumors circulated, and the demands
stopped. There was, however, 81 me- revival
of frmness at the close of the market, and
six-pence of the decline was recovered

the marriage of the "happy couple by
Esquire Whipple. After the ceremony, how
ever, the two started down engaged in very
animated conversation, and at corner they
finally stepped, and the language they used
was just as far from being nice and loving
as it could be. At last, they shook their re-
spectiye fists under each others respective
nose, and in the most emphatic manner, in
vited each other, respectively, to go to hi;
then they parted, probably forever, after SO
brief married experience; shaking fists until
each lost sight of the other.
