Tie Ninble Nickls.

In the retail trade throughout the Pacific
coast, anything less than ten cents is sell
dom used in the medium of exchange. Near
ly every small article is sold at a ''bit" and
consequently it has never been necessary to
use the five cent piece in making the trans
fer. We believe, however, this will soon be
innovated and the 'nimble nickle" will be
used as much, if not more, on the Pacific
coast, than any other piece of money made
by the mints. The most substantiating
evidence we have of this, is the fact that
Wells, Fargo & Go. received at Portland
last week an ipormous invoice of nickle five
cent pieces, which were minted this year,
for the coast trade. One of their employees
in giving an idea of the number received
stated that t'they could not get men enough
around the package to lift it. D.
