TIMES GETTING BETTER.
" Change" as an Indicator at tn e
Sub.Treasury.

Assistant United States Treasurer John
P. Jackson remarked at the sub-trea sury
yesterday afternoon that there had been a
very heavy run on change" during the
day, and that such was good thermometer
to indicate that times are getting little
liveller. At 3 P. NJ Change Teller l.. A.
Boynton figured roughly that between
$4,000 and $4,000 in small subsidiary coin
had been taken out.
When there is an active demand for
small change il is an indication that a great
deal of shopping is being done. Som of
the big retail stores take bagfuls of nickels
from the sub-treasury to facilitate their
making change over the counter.
Mr.. Jackson's explanation Of the un-
usual call made upon the snb-treasury for
currency during the past week by the
bankers is that currency brings per cent
premium in the East, and is very much
preferred, owing to its hardness. to gold.
The East has most decided antipathy to
silver. The premium upon gold there is
2h per cent. and on silver it is per cent.
Gold passes here at par, so the bankers OF
this city have found IL to their advantage
to exchange their gold for currency. and to

OF the Coincide Franchise of to-day no
doubt his surprise would have been
great. But if this pleasure was denied
him, those who called him Master
were afforded the opportunity of a pious
pilgrimage. At PeZenas they visited the
Hotel de'Alionse where Molere played
during the season of 1886; the present
theater in which IN his time the apprecia-

sessions, and where the allowance of 5000

send the latter East, where it is placed to
their credit and brings them the per cen t
premium. And as they also make a profit
upon every draft upon Eastern banks
which is honored, there is still additional
advantage gained. During the week the
banks have taken about 81. 000. 600 worth of
paper money from the sub-treasury.
In recent issue of the United States
Treasury Counterfeit Detecter. bank ers'
and merchants journal, there is an article
under the caption. Different Tastes in

reasons why paper money is 50 much pre-

Although an ancient town. like many of

however, two centuries ago. When Louis
