> hout the same as in the previous Week. the
nlng off in receipts from customs and mis-
.slaneOus sources being about equally divided.

r-es have exceeded the receipts by 1850,
enough there is a surplus from the beginning

rrasury statement showed increase of
,,s22 in the net cash in vaults. but deposits
n National banks fell off s3O6,O77. leaving de
crease in net cash balances of $222, l55. The
.ratifying feature of the statement was the
heavy gain in the gold balance, which is now
.bout $1,000, 600 above its lowest point. and an
Increase in the legal tender balance to about
the same amount. These gains. however, were
nearly offset by the reduction in the silver bal
ance.
The principal changes in the vault balances
were made up as follows: a gain in the gold
balance of s1.169,95S, by an increase OF s9i5.169
IN coin and bullion, and a reduction of S22A,lSC
IN the amount of outstanding certificates; loss
IN the silver balance of $2106.9S, by decrease
Of ssi3294 in coin and bullion with an issue of
