HEAVY LOSS OF GOLD.
Important Changes in the National Finance
Since January L.


Since January L.
The statement Of the public debt 70 he
issued this afternoon will show that a number
OF important changes have occurred in the
national finances since January 1. The princi-
pal of these is the heavy loss Of gold. The
gold balance in the treasury TODAY.
including the legal tender reserve. is
Sl09, SOC. 600. decrease of nearly Sill 900 600
compared with the balance of January l. This
Is the lowest point reached By this balance for
many years, the free gold" amount
ing to less than slO,OOo.oO0. The near
est point to this was in July last
when the balance fell to Sllo, 4i5 900. the
minimum record TO that date The recent
maximum record was March, 1892 when the
balance was SIPS, $4,000.
DECLINE SINCE DECEMBER.
1t was near the same figure early in Deem
Der last but the decline since thon has been
rapid and almost constant 1t begins to look
as though the next administration will have
to meet the problem of utilizing the 300 900 900
gold reserve fund IN the current business of the
government.
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDTrCREs.
The receipts for January were SIS. 209. $40. of
which S2l, 1902, 40 was from customs, being the
largest monthly income from that source
III lne last TWO years. Nnlle the re-
ceipts were unusually large the expenditures
were correspOndingly heavy, the principal items
being Sl3.O3s,O0O for pensions and s., 800. 900
for interest on The public debt. The pension
payments for January were nearly $4,000. 900
less. however. than those for December.
The disbursements exceeded the receipts by
nearly -, 600. and it is expected that the
cash balance February will show a decrease of
that amount compared with the balance of
January 1. 1t then Amounted to SI3l $50 =
600. Therefore, while there is no increase in
the debt Itself. there Is less money on band
available for its liquidation.
BANK NOTES AND COINAGE.
The total amount OF national bank notes out
standing today is sI7i 2Ss, 62I. an increase OF
