Ever since August there has been heavy de.
mand the United States Treasury for one-cent
pieces. The demand which comes from all parts OF
the country, is attributed to the growing custom in
various retail business houses OF marking down
prices from round figures to odd figures The espe-
cally heavy call for pennies within the last rev
weeks from Chicago and St. Louis is explained by
the theory that cent pieces wanted for the pur-
chase of the one-cent papers. The Washington
Star" says that the Treasury Department is doing
its best to meet the demand and for the last two
months the mint at Philadelphia has kept three
presses constantly In operation for the exclusive
coinage of one-cent pieces. The daily outpu; has
been 10000 pieces Of the value OF $1,000. The Gov
eminent apparently derives profit of 1920 a day

nearly so per OF the face value OF the coins.
This profit disappears. OF course when the coins
redeemed 1t is estimated that there are 100000
orr-cent pieces outstanding
