SMALL COINS SCARCE.
Threatened Famine of Dimes in the
Treasury Department.

Washington, July 27.-There are
lots of explanations offered to solve
the problem of the threatened famine
of dimes at the United States treas
ury and elsewhere. Treasurer Trea
is anxious to exchange them for pa
per money of any and all denom1na
lions. He says: There is dim
ia mine all over the country For in
stance, the New York bankers have
only 1900 dimes on hands.
and in the nearby cities, such as
Baltimore, there is an equal scarcity
the Baltimoreans having only 5000
on hand The demand for dimes is
coming in hourly and daily from
every part of the country, and we
are not able to satisfy it,.
Just as usual, the supply of sub
sidiary coins in the treasury is said
to be exceedingly low, and rush Or
ders are being sent out TO the various
minis for a large amount of them,
especially of dimes. A few days ago
there was $4,000 600 in subsidiary
coin in the United States treasury
vaults. but that big amount was re-
duced to 81 100000 by acquisitions
within IS hours There are several
explanations given by some of the Of
ficials concerning the scarcity Here
they are,
This is the vacation season. and
there are many people who save
little extra for vacations by getting
dime savings banks and filling them
gradually with these coins. \ prac-
tice like this all over the country
could soon result in tying-up pretty
much al the dimes in the United
States for the time being II this is
the ease. however. the stringency la
dimes will be fairly we'll relieved
within The coming two or three
weeks
Another explanation suEsvst- that
some folks have got into the habit OF
