WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2S.-The
forthcoming report of the secretary of the
treasury will contain several tabulated
statements showing as nearly as is posi-
BILE the exact amounts of the various kinds
of money in actual circulation among the
people at several different periods from
1870 to October 1890 the total increase of
circulation was over $727, 900, making an
average increase per month of 50, 032, 1886
and an increase per capita of $4.99, the
total circulation per capita being 1897
and in 1890 s23.96. During. the last ten
years the average monthly increase was
$3.50. For the period of nineteen months
from March 4, 1889, to October 1, 1890,
the aggregate increase of circulation
| among the people was sos, 1856, S13, making
| an ayerge monthly increase Of $4l840, 35s
and an increase per capita of about $1.5O
while for the corresponding period
from March A, 1885, to October 1, 1886
the aggregate decrease in circulation
was $21, 1858, 493; and the average month
ly decrease was 81 $50, 500, making
a total difference in favor Of the last nine

monthly increase of $22, 7S4, 778 1t il
stated that this large insrease since Marcel
4, 1889, is mainly due to the presen
policy of keeping the surplus as low al
possible by the purchase and redemption
of bonds, thereby saving interest and re
storing the money to circulation, while tn
large decrease in circulation for the cor
responding period from March 4, 1885, b
October 1, 1886, was due to the opposit
cause.
