The third auditors report for the past
fiscal year shows the number of accounts
on hand at the close of the year, q, l64, ac-
counts received in the year, II, 700; accounts
settled, 1880, involving an aggregate OF ST,-

settled at the close Of the year, q ,465, in
volving $6O54S, 476. The auditor recon-

The annual report of the pension bureau
shows that on the 30th of June, 1881, there
were 268 $3.50 pensioners, q net increase dur
ing the year of 1908. The aggregate an
nual value of all pensions is $2S, 769, 96l.
The annual disbursements Of the office,
however, largely exceed this sum. For in
stance, the total amount paid for pensions
during the year exclusive of certain arrears
in claims allowed prior to January 18th,
1879 was $40, 723, LAT, the difference being
accounted for by arrears of pensions, or
dating back to discharge in each case of
soldiers s.Yl living, and soldiers deaths, in

Many seS~<Re leading journals of this
country are &scySsing the question
whether or not the mines Of the world are
likely to yield sufficiency of the precious
metals for money and the arts. There can
be no doubt that the volume of golG. IN CIR r
culation and in the public treasures and
vaults of banks is increasing year by year,
and the only thing to be considered
is the exhaustion of the mines. There is at
present in this country $500, 900, OF
which about S26i, 0O0,0 900 was held as treas
ury national bank reserves, and $685. 0O,-
900 was in actual circulation. There has
been total gain of gold coin and bullion
- tte 6ahtEX since July 1870, of S234, 600 !;
go of which S35,0o0,0OO was added
to the treasury, $59,00O,00O to the
banks, and $40 900 to the active circu-
lation. The amouat estimated TO be in
England in 1880 was 1896, 100000, of which
$i25, 00O, 600 was in actual circulation; and
France, with 1927 100000 Of gold, had q
circulation of about SS16000.00O, making q
grand iolal-of SECS ,010, 600 OF gold in the
three countries alone. From the best
estimates that can be given this does
not embrace more than one-fourth of
the gold of the world. The products of the
mines in the United States, Australia,
Mexico, South America and other coun-
tries, it is estimated, is adding annually to
this gross amount at least sum equivalent
to $40, 000, 900. Theamount consumedi in the
manufactures and arts, 1t is thought. will
reach at last $80000,000 but this of course
is1lot lost TO the world, but is still
On existence in another torn than
money, and which could lot be used
in that form for CONNIE AL purposes.
In addition TO this the flyer used In
commerce should not be Il out of the
question, and which is inc easing and sd-
ding TO the quantity of precious metals
almost as rapidly as is gold itself. On
the whole wecan see nothingin this matter
at present 10 cause so much discussion
or ID awaken the fears OF anyone in regard
to scarcity of,gold in the world now or at
any near future period.
A dispatch from Washington says the
government receipts during the, present
month, including those of Saturday last,
have been as follows: From customs, S1S,-
10000; from internal revenue, S15.-
10000; from miscellaneous sources,
$4,000,000; total, So, 10000. The
expenditures during the month
have been $l6,0e0,OoO, including $4,000, 900
for pensions. Careful estimates made indi-
cate that the reduction Of the public debt
during the month Of October will reach
about sl5,O00,O00. IL this amount is real
four months Of the current fiscal year viii
aggregate about So 10000.
