The coinage of Quarters.

The coinage of quarters has fluctu
ated in most remarkable way. Be-
ginning with 1850, for three years the
coinage averaged about $40, 600 year
Then in 1853 it jumped up to S3,S13,
555. In 1854 it was almost as much,
So, 095, 000 Then it dropped to STA,
260 in 1855 In 1856 it was 81, ,S16, 900.
In 1857, $2,411, 900 and in 1858, 81 ,S42,
900. Then it dropped again, never
rising to 100000, and during war
times averaging only five or six thou.
sands, except in 1861, when it was
81, 213, $50. In 1875 it was 81, ,075, 375.
In 1876, 81, 454, 2S7 so, In 1877, 50, 727, =
927.50 Then began the coinage Of
silver dollars by the millions, and the
production of subsidiary coins dropped
off For the past ten or fifteen years
the coinage of quarters has averaged
only SO, 900 or 81, 900 year.
Just examine the dates on the quar-
ters that come into your possession, anC
see how they bear out these statistics
Eor instance, in 1886 there were only
81, All so in quarters coined, and there
are a thousand chances to one against
coin of this date coming into your
hands. Albany Argus.

MARKET NOTES.

There is big demand for poultry
at Portland, receipts of turkeys be-
ing very plentiful. Prices range
from IA to Is cents a pound.
At this season apples begin to fetch
better prices. The demand for river,
sound andocean shipping uses isgreat
at Portland. Apples are coming in
by the carloads, and dealers report
that the supply exceeds that of last
year. Southern Oregon contributes
the greater part of them. the de-
mand is not yet quite equal TO the
supply, and they are being stored
for future use.
There is no market for barley ex-
cept for feed. The last thousand
bushels received at the brewery
brought 75 cts. Cleaned barley,
sacked for shipment could be sold on
sample.
Poultry is advancing. There is a
good demand for fat hens. One
dealer quotes 8 to 8 cents alive.
There is some inquiry for turkeys at
10 to 124 alive.

1t is reported at Washington that
"A large protest, signed by the resi-
dents of old Portland, against the
location of the new public building
on the East Side is on the way, and
will be presented to the secretary.
There is a number of East Side sites
offered and the friends of some of
these are here. They think it a
little hard for the old city to insist
that the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
wards should be ruled out of con-
sideration. They say that when
the consolidation was urged upon
them, the merchants and business
men of Portland sang a different
and sweeter song. Officials in the
architects office say that the differ
ence in the price of the West and
East Side sites would add materially
to the building when it is con-
structed.
