siding The committee on weighing reported
that all the sample coins from the Philadol-
phia mint We're within the limit of exactness
required by law, few varying from exactness

mittpe ON counting reported that the requisite
number Of coins had been submitted from the
various mints. Tho committee on assaying
did not report, but it is learned that ali tho
coins from the Philadelphia mint were found
Of absolute standard in fneness, Those
from the San Francisco and Carson City
mints were within the limits prescribed
by law. All the silver coins from
New Orleans We're right, but two gold pieces
assayed slightly below the standard, A Sec
ond assay Of these suspected coins will be
made tomorrow morning. and If it oorrobo-
rates the first the matter will bo brought to
President Arthur's notice. Director Burchard
denied that gold coins issued by amy mints in
the United States during 1882 were deficient
in fneness. This is in denial of telegram

BosTnN, Feb, l5,-The sale of nearly $780,
600 pounds of wool week ago was regarded
as a very heavy weeks business, but ii was

the movement continued, and if consumers
were disposed to buy on a market which had
advanced two cents per pound. There had
been little or no trading among dealers the
past week, and yet the sales again have been
very large, nearly 4,500000 pounds, with an
advance in price of about one cent, and the
sales have been almost entirely to manuflc-
turers, hence tho wool has gone into use.
