MEXICO PLANS
NEW COINAGE
VIII Decrease Amount of
Silver in Mexican Coins,
It Is Decided.

Mexico City. Mex, Oct. 13.-The
Mexican government has discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY Of decreasing the
amount Of silver in Mexican coins
ever since the recent advance in the
price of that metal The fluctuation
in price, however. makes it a ques-
ton as to how much silver to put in
new coins TO make them worth 50
cents American for each peso. The
matter is further complicated because
in Mexico American money is now
at discount of about IS percent.
The committee on monetary reform
i'm the chamber Of deputies has pro-
posed that the basis of Mexican cur
rency be a peso Of IS centigrams Of
pure gold Ii IS proposed, however.
TO make the silver peso contain -
grams, $50 miligrams Of silver. This
would make the value Of a silver peso
less than the proposed value of the
gold peso. the plan being that by
keeping down the intrinsic value
there would be no induCement to eX-
port silver coins on account Of the
high prices of silver in foreign mar
kets. It is planned to make each
silver coin redeemable in gold within
Mexico on demand.
