Information from Manila says that
the Philippine commission found it
necessary to pass law forbidding the
expectation of the silver peso from
the island. This was done with the
consent and approval of the local
banks and merchants. The reason was
the increased value Of silver. 1t in
stated that the peso, which is the
standard Of value, being a silver coin
equivalent to so cents, is now worth
about 60 cents as bullion. The result
is that the pesos are being melted, so
that they may be exported and sold as
silver bullion at profit.
