CENTS IN ABUNDANCE.-For the first titnc si ice the suspension of specie pay ir.e'ni> the supply of cents at the Mint e??e< ds the demand. Though the coinage of them went on unceasingly, and though twa tent pieces were made in large mim? bi rs, the demand, until now, exceeded the '. Mipplv, and at times the scarcity was such that articles ne-er dreamed of as currency ?vere often used in our markets. It was nc unusual thing tor enrrota, onions, turnips and nj pies to be used in making change. The scarcity no doubt arose in part from hoarding .ind speculating in cents; for the premium on them was often as higb as ten, and even twelve per cent. Tba scarcity gave riso to the use of tickets or cheeks by shop-keepers, and-in some parts of the city they are yet given aa substitutes. Tm's need no longer be, for ive learn from an official source that cent.; can now be ob? tained at tho M inj by any person who wants them in exchange for treasury bills. The '.bree a-eot coinage (new) will be ready for distribution in -i few days. [Philadelphia Ledger% April 29.
