II will be observed that, although for some msnths
the receipts Of gold at the Mint have been steadily im-
nishing owing 10 the work OF the San Francisco Mint
and New York Assay Office, they suddenly spranS up
during December and the deposits OF that month we're
larger than any other in the year, and larger THAI the
average Of former years.
During the month Of December while these lar,e re-
ceipts OF gold were coming In, specie explred
that the country Is richer by nearly ave Millions
than IL a month ago. The entire exports o. sps
Gle for the year from all parts, have been about bi3
600 900. The entire production of California gold has
been about S53 900 900, although but S37 31I e has
found its way 10 the Pbiladephia Mint Still there can
be no doubt that the amount OF money In the United
States Is greater by about ten millions than II was at
the beginning Of 1854.
