THE OUTFLOW OF GOLD.
New York Being Recouped F. ON ouo'
side Sub-Treasuries.

The cash balance in the treasury Saturday
was sll9,072, 1898, Of which 72,2s0,0l5 was
gold reserve. New York shipments will
leave the gold reserve but little In excess of
S77 900. 600. The cash balance will also be
reduced by interest and other payments due
TO less than Sll7 100000. This will be a re-
duction in the available cash balance during
the month Of May OF about $4,000, 900. The
excess of expenditures for the IL months Of
the fiscal year will exceed the receipts and
leave a deficit Of something over 1900. 900.
The treasury officials are beginning TO ship
small quantities OF gold coin from outside
sub-treasuries TO New York to recup the gold
balance there. New York still has about
$4,000. 600, San Francisco about Sll 800 900
and Washington about $500, 900. Small
shipments OF lightweight gold coin are also
being made TO the Philadelphia mint. where
their value will be ascertained so as to enable
the Officials 10 closely approximate the
amount Of the appropriation which will bc
needed to meet these shortages.
