RESUMPTION AT HAND.
Why sherman has been Accommodating silver
and Declining to Pay II Out.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Secretary Sherman,
II seems. has had very good motive for accu-
mulating silver and declining to put II out In
payment OF current transactions Of the Govern
ment. He intends to use his silver stock as the
breakwater In any run following specie re-
sumption. He has on hand some six or seven
millions OF silver. and should specie payments
be deferred until Jan. l. some twenty millions
or moro could be accumulated under the Silver
bill. 1t is thought that there will be very little
demand for coin upon the Treasury III Is known
that silver will have, to be taken first. and 1t
exhausted before gold can be reached. Practi-
caliy the Treasury is now at specie payments.
Gold is only at half a cent premium. but this is
only in New York. Only quarter OF cent is
obtainable. So small is this difference that gold
Is beginning to appear in the channels OF cur
rent trade. Yesterday. the Treasury in the
small business that II has with local dealers
took in $3.50 IN gold, on which no premium was
given or asked. Everybody Is assured here
that sherman may resume AT any day. and the
fact that he has stopped taking special meas
ures for accumulating coin shows that he feels
that he is as near ready as he cares to be-. II
formal specie payments are accomplished
within the, next month or six weeks. as IL is now
possible. there will be- large amount of cam
paign material destroyed in the West
