GOLD AND SILVER COIN.
Commenting on the statement of assets
and liability of the government on Sept.
80 of the last four years the treasurer
says
The most noteworthy change in the last
year is the decrease of the gold coin and
bullion held by the treasury from $780,
791, 566 to $153, O47 1854 and the increase of
the standard silver dollars from $65.
279 to $92,025,35O; a decrease IN the gold
| of $23, 743, 6O2 and an increase in the silver
dollars of $26,O76,071. Deducting the
| amount held for the redemption of gold
certificates, the gold belonging to the gov
eminent in the treasury on the 3Oth of
September was 1854, 81 in 1879, $685.
160,0S5 in 1880, $169, $50, 746 in 1881 and
$148, 14O,524 in 1882. Notwithstanding
the decrease in the last year the gold
owned by the government is nearly 500
100000 more than two years ago, the
| amount held last year having been swelled
by the deposit of gold coin for exchange
on the West and South.
Deducting in like manner the silver
certificates actually outstanding, the
standard silver dollars owned by the
government were $3O,366, O54 on Sept 80,
1879; $35, 1855, 1868 on the same date in 1880.
$13, 1O8,839 in 1881 and $29,699,97O in
1882.
The fund for the redemption of notes of
national banks which have failed,
gone into voluntary liquidation or made
deposits of lawful money for the reduction
of their circulation increased during the
year from $31, 152, lib to $3S.5O7, O29; the
silver certificates actually outstanding,
after deducting the amount held by the
treasury, from $50, 84O,44O to $63, 1926, $50;
the United States notes on hand, from
$2S,422,17O to $32,918,256, and the
fractional silver coin held from $26,
455 to $27,429, 246. The aggregate
amount eff gold and silver coin and bullion
held by the treasury increased from $780,
706,999 in 1881 to $276, 144, $50 in 1882.
The amount now held is more than $685.
100000 greater than that held in 1879,
and nearly $62,00O,O0O greater than in
1880.
The gross assets of the treasury IL
creased during the year from 1891, 1851 ,21O
to $346, $50, 800. although the balance re-
naming after, deducting the moneys held
for the redemption of gold, silver and cur
rency certificates and for the payment of
matured debt and interest, and the amount
to the credit of special or trust funds ran
down from $151. 336,l16 to $143,964, 1913.
THE RESERVE.
The excess of the cash assets of the gov
eminent over its net demand liabilities on
the 1st day Of November was S135, ISL, 6SS.
The reserve is computed by deducting
from the cash in the treasury the aggre-
gate Of the current liabilities other than
United States notes. The remainder OF
$135, 151 ,GS9 is considered to be the reserve
available for the redemption of United
States notes. The reserve has apparently
run down SIP 500 since October, 1881.
This reduction is accounted for by the fact
that by direction Of the secretary payment
has been anticipated on S12,053,714 in
called bonds not yet matured.

crease OF S3.O75,1 1872 in the one-dollar notes
