of the Treasury will send to the House
to-day a statement which will doubtless
startlo the country and the financial

which will be sent to the House will
show the amazing fact TINT the entire
amount Of available gold In hoTreasury
is only Sl3, s32, 900. This enormous
discrepancy is accounted for by the fact
that, under the head OF "Coin on

on coupon coin certificates, etc. These
figures are likely to make a sensation In
