RELATIVE VALUES OF

MEXICAN COINS.

Answering a correspondent, the Springfield Republican thus describes the relative values of Mexican coins under the change effected through the recent adoption of the gold standard;

1. The Mexican gold dollar, or peso, is composed of 26.11 grains of gold 875-1000ths fine, compared with 25.8 grains 9-raths fine for the United States gold dollar. The Mexican gold peso, is thus worth about 98.4 cents, its [coinage has been small and circulation pil.

2. The Mexican silver dollar, or peso, is,a coin of 417.79 grains, approximately 9-toths fine, compared with the United States silver dollar of 412 grains of exactly 9-roths finances. Thus the peso, coinage value, is worth a little more than the American dollar, or 51.016,

3. The scheme adopted by the Mexican Government last spring for placing the country substantially on a gold basis involves no change in the existing coinage. The mints are simply closed to the unlimited coinage of silver, a practically prohibitive duty is placed on the importation of Mexican pesos which have been exported, and the silver peso is declared to be equivalent in "value to 75 centigrams of pure gold, or 49.8 cents, or approximately 50 cents. †The bullión value of the silver peso prior to this

The Mexican Government so far has not undertaken to carry a gold reserve to maintain this parity of value hetween the silver peso and go cents gold, and relies upon the restriction of the silver circula. tion to force the silver peso up to the go-cent level and maintain it there; and such has been the result of the measures taken.
