LONDON.—SJn|e tho percent
age of pure metal in Great Bq'Ufn't
silver coinage was reduced from
9 2to 50 in 1920, tho coins have
earned tho sobriquet of "hypocrite**
money because of their rapid dis
coloration. The greenish-yellow
hue of the silver pieces caused
much criticism as each new batch
was turned out. This annoyed tho
mint authorities who rather prided
themselves on their work, and
w.yie solemnly announcing that
the discoloration could easily os
washed out, they set themselves
the task of effecting an Improve
ment. They have succeeded in pro
ducing for the 1923 issue silver
coins which make a better showing
than the "hypocg'tee,” they are'
bright and shiny, du* to a new
method of "pickling" which gives
each pie- • a coating of more silv
er. Ehcr'-tH say this coating will
wear off i*n about a year revealing
the same discoloration as the coirs
now in use. Experiments with var
ious alloys are now under way in
the hope that coins may be ob
tained- which will meet tha re
nt*'red weight and yet satisfy tha
critics.

Christman timo are Ukoly to cost
him more this year because of ths
seifous epidemic of foot and mouth
disease -which has been sweeping
over tho country. Board of agri
culture officials havo been haying
a busy time dealing with out-
brcaH of the disease in all district*
but It seems to be beating them.
► widespread ha* It become
that an order has been issued pro
hibiting the movement of cattle in
an area covering nearly the whole
of England and South Scotian:.
Ah no markets can lie held |!n thia
territory, dSalem who have fatted
beef for the iChristina* trade are
nimble to dispose of their stock,
nnd there i* likelv to he » Miortag*
of native meat. Tills. Recording to
Superintendent Bmlthfleld of ths
Central arket, may mean an in
crease in prices.
Many pedigreed herds have been
smitten with the dread disease and
subsequently destroyed, for one of
the regulations of the board of ag
riculture is that all animals hav
ing contact with affected beaat*
shall bo Immediately killed and
crcatnaUed. During tho last four
month.* more than 15,000 head of
cattle have been slaughtered, and
as the government pays compcn- ■
satlon to tho farmers suffering
these losses, the British exobequer
has already paid out more than
100,000 pounds.
