SHIN PLASTER ERA.

Tokio, Oct 19.--Japan seems to be entering a shin pla aster era. Her stock of small coins is inadequate to keep pace with the advance in the price of coNmoditics and an issue of 50, 20 and 10-sen bills is under con- sideration and may be issued toward the end of the year. The present hig h price of silver has tempted some to melt the coins and so transform them into the more valuable form of bull lion. This is forbidden by law: but d good example, if any were needed, was given by the Yokohoma Specie bank which, upon the declaration of the gold ban by the United States, threw all it's American gold dollars into the melting pot to allay the ner- Nous fears of the Japanese dentists and jewellers
