 WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-In reply to in- quiries it is stated at the treasury de- partment that the actual resumption of the coinage of silver dollars has not as Jet been ordered, but the hints have been directed to manufacture the ingots and blanks so as to be prepared to resume the coinage at shert notice, in case it should be decided to do so.
 "The hints at New Orleans and San Francisco can coin about two million silver dollars month," said an officer of the treasury department today when questioned concerning the amount of silver that can be coined by the gov ernment when the work of coining the bullion purchased under the Sherman law is put into practical operation. "There will not be any coinage of sil- yer dollars at the Philadelphia mint for some time to come," he continued, "as all the efforts of the force now there are concentrated in turning out gold coin. By using the mint at Phil adelphia coininR silver dollars, the treasury department can put out 3,50O,OOO dollars @ month, but for the present the department will. it is un- derstood, confine itself to the coinage of the dollars only It the two places named. The seignorage on this will amount to approximately S750,000 per month, the department having paid for the silver purchased under the Sherman act an an average of 9215 cents for once. The hints at San Francisco and New Orleans are now manufacturing the ingots and blanks for dollars upon which the impressions are to be made."
 In view ot the expected coinage of silver dollars, the question has already been asked whether the treasury can issue treasury notes against the seigno- rage. which, if the whole amount of bullion were colned would amount to about S5O,000,0O0. An official of the treasury department, to whom the question was put, replied such notes could not be issued against the seign- orage and: in support of bis assertion he quoted the following clause from the Sherman law:
 "But DO greater or less amount of such (treasury) notes shall be out standing at any time than the cost of the silver bullion and the standard silv dollars coined therefrom, than held in the treasury, purchased by such notes."
 He said, however, that the seignor- age could be deposited in the treasury and silver certificates issued against them, which would bring about the same result as the issua apce of treasury notes would, so far as increasing the circulating medium is concerned, but they would be redeemable only in sill yer and not in coin, that is gold and silver, as the treasury notes are. It is said the treasury notes issued under the Sherman act which were redeemed in gold from time to time amounted to s52,OOO,OOO.
 Some questions have also arisen ss to whether any of the bullion might be coined into subsidiary silver, but the law ou this subject IS also explicit as it requires that the secretary shall each month coin 100000 ounces of the sill yer bullion purchased under the pro- visions of the act into standard silver dollars.
