Si.2s2, ls5 for 1891. The largest previous
record was IA 1861, when the gold

the amount was s67, 272, s10 Tho gold

the demands for sold from the treasury.
The EXPORT demand now has TO be met in

Secretary of the Treasury TO impose u
charge for gold bars Even without the
export demand IA heavy coinage has been
required TO meet the ordinary payments
OF tho treasury. The reduction OF
the currency balance last fall made it nee
