THE YEARS COIN AGE.
Some Interesting Figures Compiled
from Report of Director
oG the Mint.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Mr. George
b. Roberts. the director of the mint,
in his annual report shows that the
coinage of the past year was in excess
of that executed in any previous year
in the history of the service, aggregat-
ing $141, ,351 800, as compared with
$780, ,676 in the last fiscal year. The
value of the gold coinage was slightly
below that of the previous year, being
S1O7,937 ITO, as compared with $685.
77,1S0. The coinage of silver dollars
was $1S.244,9s4, as compared with $751;
254,7O9 in the previous year. The chief
increase was in the output of sub
sldiary and minor coins, which sur
passed all records and it is stated may
doubtless be attributed to the extraor-
binary activity of retail trade through
out the country. The coinage of sub
sldlary silver amounted to 57,114,270
pieces OF the value of $12,S76, $40, and of
minor coins to the extraordinary total
of 1O1, ,3o1.753 pieces of the value of S2,-
243,o17. The seignorage or profit on
this coinage was $5.477.525.
The deposits Of gold bullion at the
mlnts and assay offices of the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1900, exclusive or redeposits,
were of the value of $133, ,119,
against $143, ,497,19O reported the pre-
vious year. The total deposits of gold
were not SO great as in the previous
year, the imports Of bullion showing
decline, but the deposits of domestic
bullion again surpassed all records,
amounting to $S7,45s,s36, against $780,
252,4S7 last year.
The seignorage on. the coinage of
silver dollars, subsidiary and minor
coins during the year amounted to
S10,2S6.3O2.
The fluctuations in the price of silver
in the London market during the 12
months ended June 80, 1900, were not of
a wide range, the lowest price being
26%d and the highest price 2S 9-16d
For the first nine months of the fiscal
year the market was sustained mainly
by purchases for India and the Straits
settlements, with small demands on
continental account and also for the
domestic coinage Of England and her
colonies. Early in April. 1900. de-
mand for silver came from China.
which continued for the remainder of
the year, and this, with the demand
by the Italian government, caused the
price to advance by the end of June to
2S 9-16d, the highest price of the year
The average price of silver for the
year, based upon daily London quota
tions, was 27.3750d equivalent at par
of exchange to $060G17 per ounce, fine,
in United States money. At the high
est market price of silver during the
year the commercial ratio of silver to
gold was as 1 to 1901; at the lowest
price 1 to 35.41; at. the average price
1 to 3444

From all the reports which have
come in from the country districts
during the last two weeks, it would
seem as thought a good roads move
ment ought to be most popular thing
Just now. While there was no large
body of snow to thaw off when winter
broke up, and the rains this spring
while more frequent than some sea-
sons, have not been what would be
called heavy Ones yet there has not
been a spring for number of years
when we have heard as much COM
plant of the condition of the roads, a
we have this spring. And this feature
is not peculiar to this section, but
such reports come from all parts of the
west and northwest, and also to the
south and east of us. There may pos
sibly be a reason for this complaint, in
that the roads are now used at this
season of the year more than formerly.
Though in this respect it is not prob
able that they have been used any
more by the farmers in taking milk to
the creamery than they have for sew
eral years back. 1t is doubtless a fact
that though the GOODNESS of the season
and the slow manner in which the
frost has come out of the ground, that
they are really worse than they have
been for several years, and the in
creased travel over former years has
only served to help make them still
worse. Then again it is dou btless
brought more prominently to public
notice as a result of the rural delivery
system. The fact has been made very
patent from Washington, that if the
rural delivery system is to continue
the roads must be made good. Where
they are not and become impossible
at certain seasons of the year, it is in
timated that the route will be eventu-
ally given up. So it is made to rest
with the people of any given COM
munity as to whether or not they shall
have this modern system of mail de-
livery, and having gotten it, whether
they shall retain it. 1t would seem
that with the bad roads we have had,
the fact would be impressed upon all.
and especially those who every day or
two, have had to go to the creamery
with load of milk, that sonnet hing
in the way of permanently improved
roads ought to be undertaken. With
the material which nature has been so
lavish in this section, there ought to
be no trouble with poor roads for
miles around. The experience of this
spring ought, it would seem, be suffi-
cient to promote movement among
the farmers for a permanent improve
ment of roads, and in this they ought
to be assisted in liberal way by the
cities and villages.
