The Secretary Of the Treasury SAYS the
estimate OF the director Of the mint shows a
gain in specie aud bullion 10 the last two
fiscal years of about $j3,0G0,00O, and the
stock of specie in the country to be about
: le6, cGD,000. This, in connection with the
annual production. about ga, 900, 900 Of pre-

that the stock Of coin may, within . rea-
