Ar the end Of June 1884, the United
States Treasury held Sl3463l, $40 in gold,
and the New York banks S64, ls9, 900, max
ing a total Of $l9S.s2l, 249 At the end Of
June, 1885, the Treasury held Sis, 4OS, 22O
in gold, and the New York banks Sis, 1885,
600, making q total of S233,464,S2O, and
showing total increase Of S34,643,5Il.
The excess Of imports over exports Of gold
during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1885,
was $lS,2l3,sO4. The production Of our
mines is 6O,OOO,O 900 annually. Those two
items amount to s4s.2l3. SO4, which is SlS,.
569, T6S more than the increase in the stock
in the New York banks and in the Treas
ury. This Ought to quiet the parties who
have been continually crying out that for
sign nations are draining this country Of its
gold. 1t plain that the supply is increasing
instead Of diminishing, and il is not boarded
up, but flows through the banks and Treas
nry. The only thing that needs trouble
mOrtsls is, how to possess themselves Of a
portion Of it.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Boston and Detroit are tie on seventh
place.
The OSwego q. " nine has seven left
handed bstsmen.
Kelly, of the Chicagos, can play almost
any position on the nine.
Columbus, Ohio is trying to organize q
professional club for 1856.
During Manning absence from the Phils-
nelphia Club Farrar acted as captain.
Burdock will apply for the position Of um-
pire in the League if released By the Bos'
tons.
Donnellys inability to play By reason Of
his injury made weak spot on the Detroit
team.
The trouble with Blakeley, of the Port
land Club, is that the club has no catcher
who can hold him.
The running expenses of the Chicago
team are $4,000, according to Secretary
Browns statement.
jimmy Fields lately released by the Pitts.
burg Club, is playing well at first base for
Baltimore.
Richardson, Of the New York Club, can
be moved about considerably without &c
st'oyiDg his utility.
The Boston Club wanted Bent, of the Co.
cbiruates, but his parents objected to his
playing ball professionally.
Whenever any position is vacant on the
Providence team Bsssett can be dropped
into the gap and can FIJI the position well
Boston people say that the directory of
the Boston Club is opposed to the people
and that the people are Disguised with the
directory.i
1t is rumored that the Boston manage
ment has concluded to pension Burdock.
Why not pension off the whole nine and get
q good ball team?
The Athletic Club had had no worse luck
on their last Western trip than the Phi!a-
delphias had. Each lost ten out Of sixteen
games played.
Mertie Hsckett is the most unfortunate
man behind the bat. He is kept busy poul-
tieing and plasteripg cuts and bruises re-
ceiyed from foul tips aud the ike.

ion Of the Court Of Appeals.
Mr.. Barnie, msnger of the Baltimore, is
disguised with his club. He does not object
so much to their fielding, but he says they
cannot hit hon. with the bat.
Since Charley Fulmer took hold Of the
Portland team he has added greatly to its
strength. He has now four good pitchers in
Weidel, Ougan, Blskely and Watson.
If New Yorks base running was equal
to their batting and fielding Chicago would
have no show for the pennant, as New York
outranks the Garden City's men in every
thing but smbhUg around the bags.
! Six hundred dollars month each for the
J balance Of this season and $4,000 for next
/ season is sufficient to induce Richardson,
| Brouthers and Rowe to sign with any club
! that will make that offer and buy their re-
! lease from the Buffalo Club.
The Belfort Club has pitcher named Dill
/ worth who never wears shoes during game,
but plays in bis stockings. Heis said to be

ANOTHER plan is now on foot to start a
great cooperative store in New York city.
1t is to be called the Cooperative Alliance,
Limited" and will consist of members Of the
Exchanges, Boards of Trade, clubs, and as
soeiatiors," and will start out with capt.
tal stock of 100000, divided into 1000
shares of $50 each. In the beginning the
business of the store will be confined to gre
ceries, and throughout Of course, it will be
conducted for cash only. This is good
system, and has worked well in England,
but from some cause all attempts heretofore
in New York have been more or less
failures.

entrance to the Botanic Fete of the Royal

sight it is! Fifteen thousand people, the
ladies in evening dress, embroidered satin
and tulle, with wraps of cream or ruby plush
on Indian chnddah cloth, lined with gold
satin, falling from their shoulders, promena-
ding the Illuminated grounds made lighter
than day with thousands upon thousands
of colored electric lights; and in different
parts of the enclosure Conservatives OF

tories of roses, with music in each one, but
