BULLION IN THE CoUNTRY.-The
Secretary of the Treasury says the
estimate of the directory of the

bullion in the last two fiscal years,
of about S3S, 600, and the stock
of specie in the country is said to
be about S1G6, 100000. This in con-
nection with the annual production
of about S70,O00,000 of precious
metals, affords encouragement that
the stock of coin may within q rea-
sonable time and with favorable
legislation, be accumulated TO an
extent sufficient TO enable the re-
sumption of specie payment TO be
undertaken and maintained.-Atch-
