WHY GOLD ISN'T RECEIVED.
There has been a general inquiry to why the
United States Treasury has not received the vast
amounts of boarded gold offered TO II and given
gold certificates In exchange. The offerings OF
gold have been especially heavy at the New
York Sub-Treasury. The law says that gold GER
tificates shall not be Issued when the gold re-
serve In the Treasury is below $100.0O.OOO. and
the Secretary of the Treasury considers that II
is in his discretion to Issue them when the re-
serve Is above that sum. The reserve is not now
far enough above SlOO.0OO.OOO to warrant the
issue OF gold certificates. and there Is another
reason fo. :Ot issuing them. The gold might be
turned In for gold certificates. ana the treasury
thus converted into storage warehouse Tor gold.
which IL something the Treasury seeks TO avoid
What II most desires Is to add to It's stock OF
free gold. that is. the gold held by It In excess
Of 500. 900 OD. Anyway. should the Treasury
al this time issue gold certificates. II might be
fore long be compelled by the operation OF the
law To stop issuing. which would create an un-
favorable impression.
How soon the New-York ub-Treasury Will be
in readiness to receive gold and give greenbacks
for II cannot be told II has extra work on hand
which will take some time To clear up. In the
