The demand for trade dollars continues In ¢xcess of the supply at San Franclaco, and knles ara mado at par, with a prospoct of ita belng soonats premlum, Last spring the retall dealers of Ean Franclsco met in masa-meetings and’ resolved not to tako them at 00 cents on the dollar, The trade dollar contains 420 graina of sllver, while the old Amorlcan dollar of the fathers contained only 412% graina. The trade dollar was mannfactured to dis- place the Mexican dollar in the Orlental trade. Ita Incrense In value fsattributed toscarcity on ac- rount of the growing demand, and to the risein the price of sllver, Minlster Seward writes to Sccretary Fiah from China'that there s great difil- etlty In introducing the trade dollar Into North- ern and Central China, where not GO0 of the new qolus have got Into clreulation. In Sonthera Chinu it has not, he says, dieplaced the Mesican, or found o market to auy groat extent, snd he dounbts whether it will ever coma into gen- eral use. The Mexican dullar, Introduced twenty years ago, can bo foand only nt sume of the ports open to forelgn trade. 'The London quotations for sflver bulllon ave for sliver cleven-twelftha fine, which fs tho British standard; the Amorican stand- ard {8 nino-tenths fine. The ounce Troy contains 480 grains, Dritish standard, or 440 gralne of pure sliver; and 480 grnins of the Britlah. standard are equal to'488.88 gralns of the Amerlcan standard, The prerent Amerlcan sliver cofnage, excepting the trade dollar, contains 385 grains, American stand- ard. Adding to this, that tho trade dollar fx not Iegal-tender beyond 25,00, but simply an article of merchandlee, we have the facts which explain the fiuctuations (n its value.

THE WHEAT WANTS OF ENGLAND. From a letter of Joscph Donmphrey & Co., of Liverpool, in the Nov. 25 lesuo of Dornbaach, we make the following extracts: The Continent (of Kurope) has alroady begun to buy wheat o our coast, and tho French nowspa- pers roport that an import of 25,000,000 qrs. will bo reqatred to supply the wants of the United Kinwdomg France, Belglum, snd Germany, which, Af trno, shows n deficit of 8,000,000 qrs. from our present prospective surplas.
