No prices are being offered for wool at
present, and buyers are not anxious to pro-
cure it at any figure. The administration is
Democratic, and the platform on which the
president was elected was in favor free
wool. Dealers anticipate low prices and an
abundant supply when our ports are open
to the foreign product. The home product
cannot be placed on the market as cheaply
as that from Australia or the Argentine re-
public, and manufacturers knowing this are
not desirous of purchasing the local heeces

was done without consulting US as o our
willingness to increase the loan, and W.
naturally refused to honor the draft.
We saw no reason tc carry bank so far

wanted. l suppose when they found
their drafts had been thrown out here

The Lowest SO Far

WASHINGTON. June AT no time
since specie ayments were resumed,
January l., 1879, has the net gold in the
treasury of the Uuited States been so low
as today. The amount Is $S9.939 2l7.
January /, 1879, it vas $114,l93,539.
Since that period it has gradually iu
creased until March, 1888. it had reached
$2iS,SlS,000 This was the high water
mark. Since then the pet gold holdings
of the treasury have heen cn the declIn-
ing scale. While no uneasiness has been
felt at The treasury department, because
of the continued loss OF gold from the
treasury. still Serre:ary carlisle is not
unmindful of the ract that limit may
be reached where the confidence reposed
10 the treasury department by the people
NAV be shaken. How TO repiete the
treasury with gold has been a problem
seriously considered by the admlnIstra-
tion for some me. The issue of bonds
is the usual remedy suggested. but it is
known that the president Is not IN favor
of this alternative, except as a last re
source, aud even ii they were issued the
treasury officials are not by any means
confident the treasury gold rep eted IN
This way will long CONTINUE. 1t is con
teuded that if the plan is put in force it
simply means that the government will
he borrowing gold at interest for tue
purchase of silver, with no assurance
that the gold SO obtained will remain In
the treasury longer than the time neces
sary to take II out. Tue suggestion has
been made that the secretary OF the treas
ury has the power TO issue green backs in
exchange for god, thus increasing the
amount of gold aud increasing IT, vol
ume of green backs outstanding to the eX
tent of gold thus exchanged. The treas
ury officials say he idea is not u new one,
and has been advanced at different per-
iods IN the past ten davs. There is no
law on the statute books more stringent
than that relating to greenbacks. The
secretary of the treasury has no discretion |
either to increase or diminish the volume |
OF greenbacks.
