NO CHANGE IS GIVEN
Mexican Merchants Refuse to
Make Small Sales.
Silver Coins Are So Valuable They Are
Being Hoarded and Sold for
Their Metal.

Mexico City.-The most persistent
phrase encountered by the buying pub.
lie IN Mexico at present Is mo hay
cambio," there Is no change" The
silver In the Mexican peso, 50-cent
piece. and the smaller coins Is worth
more than the face value Of the coins,
SO this money has been boarded by
many persons and sold for their silver
content
The result Is that ''cambio," or
change, has disappeared and persons
who buy or sell are forced to pay from
4 TO Z per cent for silver pieces from
brokers. Most merchants refuse to
make small sales IL they are forced 10
give change, asserting they would lose
money in the transaction.
The "azteca," or Mexican 2O-peso
piece (gold) is practically useless as
money In stores or cafes when the
purchase is for small amount.
II might as we'll be broke as have
an azteca." complained an American
who was hungry and could not find a
cafe to change his gold. Later he hit
upon q unique scheme He deposited
the "aZteca" with the cafe proprietor
and proceeded to eat at intervals until
he had no more credit, which. with
prevailing prices, was not long time.

ances." They were said to have con-
tented themselves with meeting the
minimum which orders that IS per

Hand brakes also were alleged still
to be In use on some railroads for
controlling trains on mountain
grades. although the law specifics
that trains must be controlled by
power brakes.
On some roads employing the man

dangerous practices are followed and
rules violated to such an extent as to
render the block signal system entire
ly useless.
The investigation of accidents by
this bureau has disclosed several
cases of employees who although
they had sufficient time off duty to
