ment last issued. the following are tho facts'
On far IA known The total amount OIL com i'll
Tho Treasury. on the 1st OF june was
s75 599 3t6: on the list of July, SsIoO14oo'
This increase is hard to account ior OH any
other theory than that we have gwen Inc
Treasury is used as the place OF deposit ior
nearly all the gold held by banks ana inulVlu-
nails this side of the Rocky Mountains. III
all largo transactions, except for actual snip
mont abroad. the coin certificates OF the United
States are used in preference to the metal
itself for reasons which are obvious. Where
did the extra twelve millions added to the
coin in the Treasury come FRONT There was
exnorted in the month of June about
million and half dollars in gold coin,
and it is altogether improbable that
much more than that sum was received
from the mines Again, the amount OF out
standing gold certificates increased III the
month of June from $3O, 4i9,GO0 to S30,4GO,00O.
This increase corresponds very closely with
the actual payments to and from the Treas
uTy. The receipts from Customs were, IN
round numbers, $11,O0O0OO, and the payments
were S3,0O0,0O0 for interest coupons, SIOOO,OOO
sold, and at least $l3,0O0000 for called bonds
redeemed, making total Of S23,OOO,OOO pay
ments, against 81, 100000 receipts. The differ
ence is $4,000 600, from which deduct Sl5OO,-
900 exported, and we have about SlOjOO-
600 added to the supply on the market, which
increase is represented by the increase OF
| s0OOO.OOO in the gold certificates, and cor
responding gain of $s,OOO,OOO in the specie
averages of the banks OF tins city
| from May 81 to June %. But the Treasury
rcports that at the same time that the public
| gained twelve millions at its expense, it also
Gained three millions at tho expense of the
nublic. If we deduct from the total amount
! of coin in the Treasury the amount belonging
to private, depositOrs we find that on the LIST
of June the Government owned S45,l39,1G,
and on the 1st of July $fS047,4O3, being an
increase of nearly three millions. The ques-
fions which we conceive it of great impor-
tance 70 have settled are First, did the Secre-
tarv in his statement of July ! count In his
coin balance the sum of fifteen million dol
lars. or thereabouts, twice over Secondly Is
there in London, or Berlin, or elsewhere in
foreign parts, a sum of fifteen millions, or
tbereabouts, to be covered eventually into the
Treasury of the United States
If the first question be answered in the
affirmative, the last Debt Statement is decep-
tive and misleading; if in the negative the
mystery is still to be solved, where did the
! fifteen millions of actual coin come from by
means of which the general stock was in
creased so surprisingly last month If the
second question be answered in the ailirma-
tive, then the stock of gold in this city is to
be drawn upon before long for fifteen mil
| lions, aud the present upward tendency Of the
premium is fully justified; if in the negative,
if no coin is to pass between the Syndicate
and the Treasury, then either there is an
absolute reduction of about fifteen millions in
the fye-twenty six per cent bonds, or the
| Syndicate take sixty-fve millions of The Funded
Loan instead of fifty. 1t is, the reader will
agree with US, a Chinese puzzle
