money paid By him under protest Tor his city

Gliding tho case. said that the revenue laws OF

tBy telegraph to the Dispatch,

WASHINGTON. June 21.--United States
Treasurer Morgan to-day received q cable
gram from London stating that Barring,
Magoun d Co.. of New York and London.
had shipped $500. 600 in gold to the United
States. This Is the first shipment of for
eign gold In any considerable quantity TO
the United States during the present
month and is looked upon as showing
that the tide sin gold exports from this
country to Europe has turned.
During the eleven months beginning
July /, 1892. and ending May 81. 1893. the
amount of gold shipped from the United
States to Europe. according TO the figures
furnished by the Bureau of Statistics,
Treasury Department, amounted to Tl0j.-
$685. During the same period gold was
imported from Europe to the United
States TO the amount OF 800 1Gs ,699. leaving
a balance against us in the period of
Ss5,0O0.000 During the five months OF the
present calendar year, beginning January
1st and ending May 31st. the amount of
gold exported was S7l ,OO3,0H, the imports
during the same period being 80 0749. .361.
or balance against us of SCI 100000 in
round figures.
TREASURY NET GOLD.
For the past three weeks no gold has
been exported from New York to Europe,
and, as consequence of natural accre-
ton. the Treasury Department has been
gaming gold during shat period. the net
gold balance to-day standing at 94.050,-
$40. In the building up of this gold tho
Treasury Department has redeemed nearly
Sc, 900 worth of gold certificates. the
amount outstanding to-day being 98,07O,-
900 against S104, 900. 900 on the 1st of June,
While the receipts and the expenditures
of the Treasury Department have kept
" neck and neck" during the month, the
expenses being quite heavy and the re-
ceipts slightly less than usual. the stated
balance to-day is S25,420,4l5. OF this
amount SI2 1853, 900 is in subsidiary silver
and minor coin. and Sll ,92l 900 in national
bank repositories.
THE TREASURER FEELS RICH.
This statement shows that the Treasury
is provided with good working currency
balance-so good that it is probable,
Treasury will anticipate the quarterly in-
terest due July lst on the United States 4
per cent. bonds and the Union Pacific rail-
road bonds and pay this interest next
week. Treasurer Morgan saws he is in a
good condition TO do this. and only awaits
the direction of Secretary Carlisle TO
send out the interest checks. Many
it is probable, should Secretary Car
Isle decide to anticipate the July
interest that most Of the checks
could be prepared and sent out Oy tho
middle OF next week. The only object in
anticipating the interest. which, in point
of fact, would be less than ten days, would
be TO relieve the money market to the ex-
tent of the interest paid. This would re-
lease 81, 5000 now in the Treasury and
put a like amount into active circulation
IN the business centres of the country.
