THE trade dollar makes hard fight
for itself, because it contains more fine
silver than any other dollar. The trade
dollar was not called for by the Chinese
trade. 1t was called for in the course
of the legislation to get rid Of silver le-
gal tender money. The New York Times
says:
"The coin was first authorized ten
years ago. At that time the Mexican
pillar dollar was most readily received
in China, whence came the principal
demand for silver. That dollar was
worth little more than our own and
more than any other. To enable our
dealers to get the Chinese market for
their silver, the u. s. Government was
authorized to coin 420 grains Of silver,
nine-tenths fine, into a piece to be dis
tinctly stamped trade dollar This was
a little more valuable than the Mexican
dollar, which contained 416 grains, with
slightly less alloy. The new coin was
made exclusively for the owners of bull
lion and at their expense; it was, how
ever, declared legal tender, in COM
mon with the fractional silver coins, for
amounts not exceeding 3d."
Chinese do not care for coins. They
are experts in weighing and testing sill.

tiles the last half year is largely attrib-

but even dedueting the Indebtedness
springing from this cause, the increase
in failures and liabilities is very mark
ed. 1t is noticeable, however, that dur
ing the second quarter of the year mer-
camille disasters were much less than in
the first quarter, in which the bulk of
the increase occurs, so it is possible the
worst part of the year has been got over.

His speech throughout was compliment
