Westward the Nickel Takes its Way.

CINCINNATI COmmerclai Gazctte.
For years the people of California
have looked with contempt upon five,
three, two and one-cent coins, but dur
ing the past few weeks the demand for
the small coins, especially nickels, has
become so great that it is impossible to
supply it. A single bank ordered twenty
thousand nickels sent it from the Easta
and few days later ordered forty
thousand more. The occasion for the
demand for nickels was the legislative
reduction of street-car fares from four
tickets for quarter to five cents. The
use of nickels upon the street-cars
brought about their general circulation,
and the people have been compelled to
use them in making purchases at stores.
AS everybody who has travelled or lived
in California knows, the merchants in
that State have had way of fixing
prices so that small change was seldom
required. But this will not be the case
in the future; and even the penny, it is
said, is becoming popular. The demand
for the small coins in the Pacific Coast
States will probably compel the San
Francisco Mint, which now coins moth
ing less than one-dollar pieces in silver
and twenty-dollar pieces in gold. to coin
ten and five-cent pieces.
