GOLD AND SILVER.

Enormous Shipments of Gold Bars Leave New
York for the Old world-Silyer Arrivals.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The scene at the
assay Office this morning was busy one.
In the corridors small, four-wheeled
platform, the trucks being dragged as
far as the street door laden down with
gold bars, each valued at $4,000, but of
small enough size and weight 10 be held
in one hand by the men, who were put
ting them in small, ragged and dirty
canvas bags and throwing them with the
utmost unconcern on the truck which
backed up to the door. There were
nearly 700 of these gold bars taken out,
and the total value of them was 81 ,OOO,-
900. All bars are put on board the
European steamers and in another week
they will be added to the horde of gold
in the financial ceuters of the old world.
Shipments to-day include 81 600 900 by
Van Hoffman s. Co., ST 900, 900 by
Heidellbach, Ickelheimer & Co, $50 900
by Brown Bros. & Co. $500. 600 by Nor
ton, Bliss s. Co., $500, 900 by Arbuckle
Bros. & Co. aud $500 200 by J and w.
Seligmau & Co. Many more con-
sentative houses look upon tne OUT
flood OF gold with apprehension,
and some of the government officials are
becoming anxious on account of the low
figure TO which the stock of gold bars IN
the assay office has fallen. Superin-
tendent Mason of the assay offic has
been in correspondence ith the secre-
tary of the treasury in regard to the
matter of attempting to retard the move
ment of gold from this country, but as
yet no action has been taken. While
one set of laborers are loading trucks
with outgoing gold another set are busy
bringing in boxes of silver to be refined
and melted into bars. The silver was
obtained in Peru and cost only seventy
six cents per ounce landed in New York.
AS silver IN this. market to-day sold at
81 1879 per ounce, the transaction should
be extremely profitable.

Every one of these eco were making their
