Villa Has Bullion and Cattle

Gel Paso, which is the largest
Mexican money center IN the
United States, has recently been
flooded with complete assort-
ment Of counterfeits Of both is-
sues. In period covering the
first fifteen days of March, Villa
currency sold from 25 cents on the
dollar to 10 cents as a result OF
this flood Of eounterfeits.
General Villa, and Carranza as
we'll, have been keenly alive to the
urgent necessity of maintaining
and protecting the value of their
currency. During Villas last So
journ in Juarez an effort was
made by u reputable money bro
ker in El Paso to establish a firm
and broad market for the consti-
tutionaliet currency, Villa has

Furnished Siinews Of War


"The Carranza Issue Is what Is
known as the Monclova money and
takes its name from the fact that
it was issued under decree signed
at Monclova, Coahuiln, in May,
1913. This money has now been IN
circulation a year, and for that rea-
son has always had a firmer and
better established market than the
fiat currency Of the military gen"
ius, Francisco Villa, Of northern
Mexico.
"This money has sold as high as
B3 cents on the dollar, United
States gold, and as low as Is cents
during the days Of depression and
doubt as to the SUCCESS Of the Car
rama government in the north;
but It's price has at all times re-
NAMED firmer than that Of the
Villa money, and the $30,oOo,OO0
now issued has probably been
bought and sold at an average
price of 90 cents or better, which
has netted Carranza officials
about seven and one-half million
dollars United States currency TOR

Mining Interests Buy the
Fiat Currency.

"All of the larger mining compa.
MES, smelter interests and indus
trial corporations in northern Mex
leo buy their money direct from
the state treasurer at chihuahua,
paving at the rate of three for one,
or 33 l-3 cents on the dollar gold,
for what they use. In this way
they are assured of receiving gen.
uine currency and of avoiding
counterfeits. 1t is only along the
border that counterfeiting has be-
come popular form Of finance.
"I have learned that the state
treasury at Chihuahua will soon
operate their own mint to its full
capacity and has already issued
silver coin which commands a
premium, because it is minted
from pure bullion.
During the next sixty days
northern Mexico probably will
have relief from counterfeiters and
will bo using its own silver coins,
minted and issued by the consti
tionalist government.

Tampico Important.

In the beginning the capture Of Tam
pico was deemed essential In order to Sc
cure easy entry for the munitions of war
required for the constitutionalist army.
The proclamation OF President Wilson
permitting the expectation OF arms and
ammunition across the border into Mexico
diminished the Importance OF the port In
that respect, but recently the financial
needs Of the rebels, with the knowledge
that the customs house receipts at Tam
pico were heavy. led to a renewal Of the
siege and the strengthening Of the at
tacking force TO point that now seems
to make probable tho capture OF the
town,

Border Town Flooded With
Bogus Money.

Mr.. Curtis states that it is esti-
mated that during the last sixty
days border towns from Browns
vile, Tex, to the California coast
have been flooded with about
two and one-half million dollars
Of the Monclova and Villa coun-
terfeit money. 1t is a noticeable
fact that nearly all counterfeits
have been floated or sold in the
United States to innocent persons.
1T has been practically hnpossi-
BILE for the average money dealer
or broker to determine the differ
ence between the real and coun-
terfeit issues" Mr.. Curtis con-
tinued, GA case in point is cited
where q large shipment in cur
rency was accepted by border
bank after examination by a Mex
lean constitutionalist inspector Of
customs and the entire shipment
was paid for, The same day the
chief of the border town on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande
made up his mind that the cur
rency passed by the customs in
spector was counterfeit and about
half the population in the village
were arrested for having counter
feits in their possession. 1t is es-
tinlated that there are now In ex-
istence eleven different counter
felt specimens of Monclova money
and at least four different counter
feits of Villa bills.

Torrcon Victory Causes
Fiat Money to Soar.

1.-THE fall Of Torreon puts the
dollar mark on Villa and Monclova
money" said j. G. Curtis Of El
Paso, Tex, who is considered the
most expert specialist in Mexican
constitutionalist money In the
United States. HThe value Of
paper money lies in the promise to
pay, and the fall Of Torreon has
marked the elimination of a long
series Of events which promise to
establish and make good Villas
and Carranza written guarantees,
which is signed at the bottom of all
paper money they have issued. To
date the Mexican constitutional
government, for their joint account,
have issued $60,000,00o Of paper
fiat currency and for eight months
the merchants along the United
States border aud northern Mexico
have gambled upon the promises Of
Villa and CarranZa to pay, as it ap-
pears written upon their paper
money.
"Carranza has issued $50, 100000
Of this currency to date and Villa
has issued from chihuahua $780,
100000 more of his own currency.

Situation Desperate.

At Lasuna Puerto there are 1000
mounted constitutlonalIsts. according to
the admiral, and the constitutionalist
lines are said to extend east TO the coast
from Canalote on the Tamesi river. The
ADMIRAL estimates the federal garrison at
Tampico a 1000. The situation of the be-
sieged city Is made moro desperate by
the lack of water, the connections having
been cut by the constitutionalists. Small
pox, II was reported, is increa sing.
Admiral Fletcher advised that there
are already at TamDico "sufncient naval
forces to cope with the situation or with
anything apt to arise

1.-The establishment Of a market
and purchasing value for both the
Villa and Monclova money created
the usual result, which has been
the history in all Latin American
countries where paper currency
has been issued by de facto gov
ernments- American crooks and
counterfeiters Immediately began
to issue the Villa and Monclova
money with the same case and ef-
ficiency with which the constitu-
tionalist government printed it.
Constitutionalist authorities made
the mistake Of having their Mon
clova money printed hurricdly, and
the workmanship and quality of
paper used were easily duplicated,
while the Villa money was printed
at the government printing shop in
chihuahua, and was even more
easily duplicated than the Mon
clova fiat CURRENCY

a result it rapidly came into gen.
eral use and public favor in Jua-
reg and Chihuahua Since its is
suance in December it has sold as
high as 33 cents on the dollar and
recently as low as 10 cents, but to-
day the Torreon success has estab.
lished firm and broad market
