OUR CURRENT COIN.
Few Facts in Regard TO the Circulation
OF Gold and Silver.

or Gold and Silver.
Secretary Folger received o few DAYS since
from Representative Dingley, Of Maine, a
letter containing series of inquiries with
regard to the coinage aud circulation of gold
and silver in tho United States up to the first
of February, 1883. Secretary Folgcr referred
the communication TO Mr.. Burchard, the
director of tho mint, and the latter has Just
replied by a letter in which he answers the
several questions propounded as follows
l. The coinage of silver dollars from March
1, 1873, to Feb l, 1888, was Sl35 i05 $50.
2. Or these silver dollars 3GS7ll11 were in
circulation on the first of February, 1883.
3. The amount of silver certificates out
standing February /, 1883, was $72, 745, ,470 ;
amount in the treasury $i,306,6j0, leaving in
circulation $GS, ,43S, 500.
4. Tho price of silver bullion at London
February l, 1883, was 50s pence, British
standard (which equals with exchange ut par
Sl.1O97), per ounce, fine silver.
D. The value of the silver bullion contained
in standard silver dollar was 03.i6 cents on
the first of March, 1873, and S5.32 cents ON the
first of February 1883.
g. On the first of March, 1873, the value of
the gold coin and bullion in the treasury was
$l25, ,9sS,S59, and of the silver coin and bull
lion SS63l,O71, while on tho first of February,
1888, the value of the former was $173, 1888,
and of the latter $12s,42S,1 III.
q The amount expended from March /,
1871, to September 30 1852, in getting silver
dollars into circulation, that is, paid for trans
portation, &C., under section 3j27 of the Re-
vised Statutes, was $310,07l.
B. The amount expended in providing
vaults for silver coin since March /, 1873, is
$93,620.
o. 1t is impossible to state how much has
been paid during the same period for tho
transportation Of gold coin from the mints to
the offices of the assistant treasurers
10. Nothing has been expended since March
l, 1873, in providing vaults specifically for
gold coin.
Accompanying Mr.. Burchard's letter are
several tables showing the state of the circu-
lation Feb. l, 1883; the amount appropriated
and expended for the transportation of gold
coin and bullion to and from all points since
1873; the circulation of United States coin on
Feb. l. 1888, and the net gain by coinage and
import since July /, 1882

THE AMSTERDAM EXPOSITION.
Some Hints from Consul EcISsteln or
Value to Exhibitors.


Mr.. d. Eckstein, United States consul at
Amsterdam, wrote on the twenty-third of last
October expressing surprise and regret, as
well as some disappointment on the part of
the people Of Amsterdam, that tho United
States had at that time taken but little in
forest in the international exposition to open
there in May next. Since the consu's letter
was written, congress has taken some steps
toward representation of American live
stock and individuals have been aroused to
some degree of interest. bor the benefit OF
those who may be contemplating participation,
the following extract from the letter is given
Participation in the forthcoming exhibition
will prove rather expensive affair to American

the opinions on this important point freely eX-
pressed here by parties best qualified to form an
intelligent opinion on the subject are iar from
being unanimous, but on the contrary, quite con-
iiicting.

to me that whether Ghe exhibition as u whole

thousands of consumers from all parts of tho land

SENATE REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.
How Can the Remaining Time be Used to
the Best Advantage.

After the eulogies in the senate yesterday
there was republican caucus which lasted
nearly an hour. Its purpose was TO settle
upon the best arrangement for ordering the
business most urgently demanding tho atten-
tion of the senate and, while the purpose was
not fully accomplished enough transpired to
show what measures are regarded as most i'm
portant. The Dakota bond bill is one. This
Is put forward to remove the opposition to
the bill for admitting part of tho
territory as n state. The other bills urged
We're the Edmunds claims bill tho bank
ruptcy bill prepared by Mr.. Hoar, and the
two pension bills, Not much was said about
the tariff bill. The general impression was,
however, that it will take several days longer
to dispose of it, and that another caucus must
bo held in order to arrange for the best possi-
bio use of the remaining time The chairmen
of the senate committees, who had heen
asked to come to this caucus prepared to
name the one, two or three bills before each
most demanding attention, We're not fully
prepared to say definitely. The time for the
next caucus was not set, but IL will probably
bo held Saturday or carly next week.
