PAYING FOR SILVER.
n Secretary Manning has ordered that
y lereafter the regular purchases of silver
8nilion for coinage into standard dollars
IN made with Treasury checks, payable
8nr0ngb the clearing house. He says that
H. reasons for the old order for purchases
Ritb silver have become inOpeI ative,
H. that the silver certificates, once
Il a0iy accepted and put in circulation,
h. DO longer accepted, but are immedi-
&ey returned to the Treasury cash
trough the customs payments. Calcula-
ons had been made 10 establish the facts
Il regard to the silver paid out for the
&nlH0n. and the figures satisfied the
kecretary that every certificate issued
II bullion returned TO the Treasury cash
8lthin 4S hours. The Treasury officials
|fstach great Importance to this change as
|&fecting the character of the customs
.taYments At New ! Ork. This action and
& Elher efforts recently made to reduce the
f SPECULATION Of silver certificates in New
0rk. and to thus diminish the proportion
IA this class Of money used in the GUS
4 ns payments, Will, they say, materially
erease the percentage of gold used in
ese payments. 1t is roughly estimated
~ officials that if 50 per cent. of these
.yments is made in gold, gold certificates
#Hd legal tenders, the government can
atiIy meet all its obligations in those
pms OF money.
MINOR SILVER HELD BY NATIONAL
BANKS.
The Comptroller Of the Currency re-
ltly requested the national banks to
rnish hIm a statement of the amount Of
nor silver held by them, as well as the

K ms responded to this request in the re-
rs Of their condition just published,
Iaea4 showed only a little over 81
'VV Of fractional silver and 1000, 900 of
'eI collars. IL is estimated that il all
reports had been received they would
