TIME BRINGS CHANGES.
An Order From the Pacific Coast for
Nickels and One Cent Pieces.

The Treasury Department has received
an order for 500 nickels and 1000 1-cent
pieces from the Pacific coast. The order is
from the subtreasury at San Francisco
Five years ago such an order from the sub
treasury would have been regarded in the
nature Of a mistake somewhere, and the
chances are that inquiry would have
been put foot to ascertain if these
coins were really wanted. But times
change the Pacific coast as elsewhere,
and the despised small coins coming
into use there In greater quantities every
day.
Just what started the use of nckels and
pennies on the coast is not definitely known.
but treasury officials say that it's beginning
was during the Spanish-American war, or
rather during the existence of the war
taxes imposed at that time. These war
taxes called for stamps on different ar
ticles. and officials of the government in
selling the stamps. gave the proper change
in pennies and nickels. Purchasers of the
stamps began to find the small coins useful
in this way ard in others, and for several
years now the Pacific coast people have be-
gun to acquire a habit which they always
despised in eastern people.
1t is well known fact that a cent was
a rare thing on the Pacific coast five years
ago, so far as trade was concerned. and
nothing was sold from the stores that
called for change in cents. The eastern
bargain counter. with it's 40 cents and
Its $l.3S placards and other features at
tractive to female shoppers. was unknown
Everything was sold in even money and
paid for that way. Even the f1ve-cent
piece rare. The ten-cent pieces was
practically the smallest piece in circua-
ton. If an article worth 10 cents was pur
chased and the purchaser rendered
2o-cent piece the chances were that the
merchant would hand him 10 cents in
change merely because he did not have the
other cents to make the change.
The Pacific coast people do not now like
to carry small change and the order that
has been received is comparatively small
one. but to treasury officials it reveals the
fact that the habit Is growing and indicates
that in a few years the nickel and the
penny will be in general use in section of
the country heretofore having no regard
for them.
The same thing was true Of parts of the
south until eight or ten years ago. but the
objections to the small coins there have
been almost overcome. They Still not
SO generally used there in the east and
portions Of the west. and there are still
many places in the south where the nickel
Is the smallest coin accepted in trade and
general use.

MONETARY COMMISSION.
First Meeting Of International Finan-
ciers in Berlin TODAY.

BERLIN, July 16.-The American and
Mexican international silver exchange
commission met the representatives, of the
German government for their first confer
ence at the Reichsbank building today.
Germany represented by President
Koch and Director Lumm of the Rechs-
bank Privy Councillor Dumboise of the
imperial treasury: Count Won ROedern Of
the Prussian finance ministry, Prof Helf-
ferich of the colonial bureau, Roland Lucke
of the Dutsche Bank, Arthur Salomonshon
of the Disconto-Gcsellschaft and Franz
Urbig of the German-Asiatic bank
The conference lasted an hour and then
adjourned until Saturday. The Associated
Press correspondent learns that Ger
1nanys representatives recognize the de-
STABILITY of fixing the ratio of exchange
between silver and gold countries but re-
gard a scheme in that direction merely as
pious wish.
From u trustworthy German source the
correspondent is informed that the Brit
ish and French governments fatty refused
to Obigate themselves to the purchase of
a fixed amount of silver yearly for Indian
and colonial coinage. This is one of the
commissions proposals which is intended
to stabilize the ratio between silver and
gold. Germany's delegates recognize that
absolutely nothing is possible without the
cooperation of Great Britain and France
and it is not believed here that the COM
missions work will lead to the calling of an
international conference.
Baron Won Rhenbaben, the Prussian
finance minister, has invited the commits
sion to dinner on Friday and United States
Charge dAffaires Dodge has extended a
dinner invitation for Monday.

TRADE MAY BE STOPPED.
Countries Having Cattle Diseases Ne
p1ect to Take Proper Action.

Secretary Wilson stated today that the
effort to have the consuls in countries
where foot and mouth disease exists attend
to the d:sinfection of hides and wool had
not been very successful and that if they
continue to meet with failure the govern
ment will be compelled sooner or later to
require the disinfection at the ports Of
entry in this country or to prohibit the
trade altogether. Such step, he added.
would be taken with great hesitation. This
reference applies particularly to Argentine
and a number of countries in Europe.
I'VE are inquring as to the gravity Of
tie situation. said the Secretary. The
countries from which we get hides and
wool, both in South America and Europe.
have the foot and mouth disease; have had
1t and are not taking steps toward its eradi-
cation. The danger Of the outbreak in the
United States from the importation of hides
and wool Is imminent in the future. We
have just finished stamping out the disease
in the New England states.
IAN offer of $3.50 for Information Of sin
gle existing case has failed to bring a re-
sponse The recent epidemic cost the gov
ernment a quarter of a million dollars. This
is serious from a money standpoint, but If
one of the outbreaks should occur in the
west or southwest it would require much
more money,to eradicate it. Meanwhile our
commerce with countries would be inter-
fered with go that the question now Is
what to do with the commerce that comes
from the countries that neglect to stamp
out that particular disease"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There were but few buyers at today's
meeting of the Washington Stock Ex-
change. and the business done reflected an
apathetic condition. The holiday feeling is
strong with those members who are still in
attendance and with the prospect of their
coming vacation they are not inclined to en-
gage in any more business than is abSo-
lutely necessary.
With the advance Of buyers there was
also a lack of sellers. which proved to be a
happy combination for the listed prices.
AS was the case yesterday, the offering
1t was developed. Some 16O shares were for
sale. and 1t was evident that the owner in
tended to realize on them. Practically the
entire lot was disposed Of at 62 and 61h.
Since the record price of Ga was made a
few days ago of this stock without the reg
ular dividend there has been a decline as
points. The stock has not been offered in
large blocks, but in lots aggregating one
hundred odd, and then only for the past
two days. The want of a market Is the ex-
PLANTATION given of the prices.
There Is also an absence of active specu-
lation. which is due no doubt to the time
Tightening somewhat of bank credits.
This also in some respects is q seasonal
condition. due to the falling of in deposits.
which always occurs at this period Of the

NJ. Barkley, farmer, WAS assaulted last
night by Frank VIII. a tramp, while she

The child crawled to her parents home
after the outrage, and her father. accom-
panied by a number of others, started in
pursuit of the man.
He was found secreted In n house nearby,
and in attempting to escape was probably
fatally shot by Barkley. The wounded
man was conveyed to Craft post office,
where a posse of deputies guarded him all

neigh boring farmers, who came IN from

Early this morning VIII was brought 10
