The Shipment Of Gold to
Europe.
From Harper's Weekly.

During the past three months the
Assistant Treasurer Of the United
States at New York has delivered to
bankers from the Sub-Treasury on Wall
Street $50, 900 in gold coin, al
most all of which has been shipped to
Europe. The Treasury's gold surplus
on April 10Th of this year was $780,
900, 900, but on account of these heavy
gold shipments it is now reduced to
$66, 900. 900 Of which $50, 900, 900 is
stored in the vaults of the Sub-Treas-
ury io this city.
At first glance it appears odd that our
bankers should have such heavy
accounts to settle abroad that they must
surrender half of the nations gold
reserve in order to meet their obliga-
tions. This condition seems all the
more iucompreheusible if We know tha.
the government reports for the fiscal
year ending June lst show a trade
balance of $230,O00,000 in favor of
the United States. In other words, our
exports for the past year have exceeded
our imports by that amount and
it VIC i'd therefore seem that, instead
of our bankers sending gold to Europe.
foreign merchants should be sending
gold to this country.
The principal reason Why our bankers
have had to ship more gold than usual
to their foreign correspondents thisy year Is
accounted for in number OF ways.
The financial reports, for instance, show
that many European investors are send
ing back American bonds and other
securities in large numbers, and OF
course these have to be paid for in
gold. Tbeo the interest which is
being paid on American securities still
held by foreign investors draws that much
money out Of the country. AS most Of
the great ocean carriers are foreigners.
principally English, the heavy freight
payments of our trade 60 to the profit
Of Europeans But one Of the greatest
elements in this gold expectation is
American travel abroad 1t is estima.
ted that from 10000 to 100000
Americans 90 to Europe annually, and
thai they take with them an average of
800 each. This money is usually
taken 10 the form of drafts or letters OF
credit, and the corresponding amount
iu gold must be shipped to the foreig
banker in order that he shall honor this
American paper. Another minor ele-
ment which works to our disadvantage
in the gold question is the undervalua-
tion Of imports by some American
merchants, who in this way evade pay
ing as much duty as the law demands,
but who by so doing turn consider
able profit into the pockets of the
foreign manufacturers.
