The Gold Export.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-The gold
exported from New York today amounted
to $50, 900 and all of it was taken from
the sub treasury. The loss of so small
an amount does not even cause comment
in treasury circles, as the free gold at
the command of the treasury now aggre-
gates more than $4,000, 900, and the
treasury is gaining gold each day in its
ordinary business transactions. The Of
fers in exchange for small notes also con
tinue very heavy with the opening of the
spring trade. The secretary is accepting
these as rapidly as possible, selecting,
however, those that are most advantage
ous AT present there is not the slightest
doubt in official circles that within few
months the gold balance will be in
creased to $115 900, 900 or $l5, 900, 900
of free gold sufficient for all ordinary
purposes.
