FEW CHANGES TO BR MAD& AMONG THS EMPLOYERS OF THE OFFICR—4R. CONGER’S DESIRE TO IM- PROVE THE SERVICE. The new city postmaster, Mr. Frank B. Conger, qualified for his office late Saturday afternoon, giving a bond for $200,000, Instead of $100,000, as Tequtred by law, and to-day was at bis desk. To 1 Star reporter to-day he said that he would not make many changes In the office, but there would be a little “trimming” here and there. “The office,” he said, “Is necessarily an expen- sive one, as there Is so inuch free matter to handle, Tt 1s my purpose to run It aseconomically as possi- ble without Impatring its effictency. I don’t want any allowance for clerks who will do nothing but draw their salary. T want men to do a good day's Work and receive a fair salary for It.” He said it would be decided in a day or two how great an allowance would be made for the office for the new year. “The office,” he sald, “1s In ex- cellent condition, but I_ think may be improved in some respects; and I intend to improve it if I can. The city delivery or carrier service, I think, can be greatly improved, especially in the outskirts of the city, and I want to get an allowance for that can.» ee The War Upon the Trade Dollars. HISTORY OF THE OBNOXIOUS COIN—ITS STANDING IN WASHINGTON, ‘The crusade against the trade dollar which 1s now being prosecuted in different commercial cities seems Ukely to seriously depreciate the value of the dollar for the present, The trade dollar was intended for exportation abroad, where tts value ts rated by its welght. Itis of greater intrinste value than the standard dollars, as it contains scven and one-half grains more silver of the same fincness. ‘The trade dollar was demone- tized July 22, 1876, and its colnage suspended by the Secretary of the Treasury February 22, 187%, The circular of the Treasury department of July 25, 1878, declares: “The United States trade dollar aiso 1s not « legal tender, and, there- fore, has only a bullion value.” The average bullion value of full-welght trade dollars 1s ninety-three cents and two-tenths of a cent each. The trade dollar some years ago gained a popular circulation in this country. The banks then re- fused to take them, and in trade they suffered con- siderably in value.” There was so much of the coin in ‘circulation, however, that they gained thelr old place at pir in many cittes. In some, Places, however, they have never been received at at since thé demonetizition act, and, tt is sald, speculators have’ made collecting the _ dollars Eeod Profits by in One part of the country and shipping them to another. It is suggested by some persons, in ex- planation of the present su iden onslaught on ti trade doilar, that some active commercial demani for these dollars has sprung up, and in order to enable speculators and brokers t0 gain control of them, this attempt to depreciate them is made. THE TABOOED COIN NEVER POPULAR IN WASHING- TON. The movement against the trade dollar has not Yeached any very great proportions in this city, because there have been but few in circulation here, There has always been more or less objec- Uon made by the merchants and others here to receiving them, and the consequence hss been that the volume in circulation has gradually de- creased. ‘The cashier of one of the largest bust- ‘ness concerns In the city told a Stak reporter this morning that they had always received the trade dollar, and never had any difficulty In_getting rid Gf them. They averaged about 12 during a day, t now that there was this general movement they would have to follow suit and refuse to re- celve the coin, THE TRADE DOLLARS IN THE BANKS. A cashier of one of the leading banks sald that they had been in the habit of receiving trade dol- ‘Ss at a discount of one per cent. They then shipped them to Baltimore, where they received 993 cents for them, Now he sald they would re- ‘On Saturday he had a use to receive them at all, letter from tis Philadelphia correspondent, asking What he would give for trade dollars. He’ replied that he had no use for them. ‘This gentleman thought that the banks ought to take same united action on the subject. as this present raid upon the trade dollar promised to be a permanent one, and would Sitate some action by Congress When It convened in the fall. Since Saturday t banks haye refused to receive trede dollars at all. RAILROAD, STEAMBOAT AND EXPRESS COMPANIES. ‘The street rallroad and steamboat lines have also taken action in this matter, but the officials unite in saying that but few of these coins are in circulation here. ‘The express compantes have dectined to refuse the-e dollars for some time, and since Saturday their rule on this subject has been etrictly en- forced, “SHUT DOWN” IN CENTER MARKET. There was a general “shut down” this morning in the Center market on the trade dollar. Satur- day, when the butchers came to settle with the drovers, they found that the drovers refused to take the tubooed dollars. The dealers bave been in the habit of taking them at par, and disposing of them again in the course of trade, While the dealers were agreed as to nottaking the dollar at par, there was no agreement as to the value at hh they should be recetved, some dealers re- gto take them for more than £0 cents, and allowing 9) cents and"more for them. th, the secretary of the murket com- told a’Sran reporter that he did not Intend shdle trade dollars at all any more at any ghd that__he would post up a notice to that ect in his office, WHAT SECRETARY FOLGER SAYS, Secretary Folger, who ts visiting New York city, being asked by a Herald reporter yesterday what he thou war now belng made on the trade doll Thave not given the subject any consideration’ as yet, and have not read the he subject.
