and in time promises to be as plentiful
as in the east. 49,.
west has been that 1t could not be kept
clean, and in many cities boards Of
health have pronounced against it for
sanitary reasons. This argument, how
ever, is losing it's force in the face of
the possibilities of supply now offered
by large number Of subtreasuries. The
silver dollar became popular in the west
because of western interest in silver
production. 1T was sanitary, and the
fact that it was bulky did not seem
to make any lasting impression.
Silver Dollar Going. ~
AS rapidly as the west will permit
the silver dollars are being sent to the
treasury vaults in this city, and silver
certificates are being issued in thei1
place: The familiar old cartwheels'
are disappearing at the rate Of severa
millions year. This exchange is be
ing encouraged by the government
partly for the reason that it costs {
large sum each year to ship silver bach
and forth over the country by express
present permitted the treasury depart
ment to abandon the coinage of dollars
During the fiscal year ending Jun
80, 1904, silver dollars to the value O.
| $1O,101 $50 were coined. During TIL
| first half of the last fiscal year, Jul.
/ to Dec. 81, 1904, only 1910 wer
| coined, while there is not a single dol
lar bearing the date 1905. The silve
bullion in the treasury that IS nov
available for coinage purposes is beini
used for half dollars, quarters an
/ dimes, and it is well nigh exhausted
! This subsidiary coinage is in such de
mand that the minis can scarcely sur
i ply it in satisfactory amounts. TIL
treasury was permitted to coin it a
long as bullion was available, withou
limit, and the minis were kept bus
month after month, winter and sun
mer. The quarters and dimes are NOR
popular than the half dollars, and tn
i quarters are more popular than til
q dimes. 8 The half dollar is in constan
4 use, of course, but usually q shoppe
would rather have two quarters tina
one half dollar. The size Of the COR
respectively explains their favoritisn
Purchase Of Silver Again.
It is probable that congress ne,
winter will be asked to provide f,
the purchase of gbullio for subsidial
coin. AS noted above, all the bullie
that can be used for coinage purpos
X Il ~ f

has now been disposed Of, and the de-
mand for the small coins will soon be
SO great as to require further purchases
Of bullion. This can only be done thru
act of congress. The treasury depart
ment will probably lay the subject be-
fore the president in a short time.
One Of the big wholesalers in New
York only the other day, in talking
with middle west customer, remarked
that the sales Of his house in the west
had for some time been indicating a
ton. Asked for an explanation of his
words, he replied that in former years
his western customers, who are largely
big department store proprietors Of the
! Mississippi and Missouri valleys,
bought very few pocketbooks suitable
| for carrying paper money; coin purses
were greatly in demand, with only an
occasional demand for the regulation
pocketbooks. Now, however, he con-
tinued, the pocketbooks were in de-
mand and the demand for coin purses
was declining.
1t is one of the wonders Of the gov
eminent what becomes, Of the silver
pieces that are coined year after year
After allowing for growth in pophla
ton and for extension Of trade, it i

hundreds of thousands Of dollars OF
fractional coin yearly that apparently
does not 90 into trade channels. Dur
/ ing the fiscal year 1905 the government
| turned out 152, 4O2,302 pieces Of gold
silver, nickel and copper money, worth
in the aggregate SOL ,162,729. Of thi!
sum, $774,193.6S was represented by thu
despised copper cent pieces. 1920,
s74.o5 by scent pieces, and $2,377,
POLIO by silver dimes. Of quarters
there were made 13,S96,498 pieces
worth, Of course, just one-fourth tina
/ figure in money, and Of half dollars
i 6,523,470 were made. This work is KEEP
! up year after year by the minis, AM
yet the demand for the subsidiary coin
4 age is always unsatisfed.
i The popular explanation Of this con
tinued demand is that all over tn
country there are people who say
their money in old stockings instead o
trusting to the banks. Such peopl
would obviously put away gold an
silver rather than paper, and as thei
savings are probably by the little, the.
;. probably save more of the subsidiar
8 coins than they do of the dollars or o
the more valuable gold pieces. Their
{ is probably a good deal Of truth in thi
Explanation, but whether there Is or no
Z it is a fact that the government find
it very difficult to keep enough Of th
8 demands Of business.
