The s. F. "Alta" special from
Washington says Secretary Bristow
states there is no truth in the report
ed contract for a large quantity of
silver for the Government; but he de-
clines to say whether any contract is
to be made in the future. Inquiry
elsewhere results in asserting that a
proposition to purchase $4,000 900
in bullion from the Consolidated Vir-
GINA is now under consideration.
Flood & O'Brien offer to place that
amount for exhibition in the Centen-
NAL buildings, at their own risk, if
the Government will contract to pur-
chase it after the close of the Exhibi-
ton. AS forty per cent. of the bulk
will be gold, this would require a
contract for 100000 in silver. Mr..
Fair has gone to Philadelphia to see
what arrangements can be made
there.
