The Gold Balance.

In a chapter in which the treasurer re-
views the history of the net geld balance
In the treasury. he says that prior to Sep
TENDER !. 1895 the highest point which this
balance had ever attained was s219 C59,:32.
On April g. 1883. on June 6. 1893. the amount
was sS9.5S9, 364 the lowest In 10 years, or
from June, 1878. BY the exchange OF notes
for gold with the banks, the ret old bal
aEce was brought up 10 $lO3 $685. by Au-
gust TO- 1893 Another minimum mark was
reached February l, 1884. at s65,4SS,37s. BY
the proct eds of a sale Of bonds amounting
to s5S,GG0 9l7, the net gold balance was IL
creased to s1T.44G. 500 by March 6. Under
reaction, however. ii again fell to $54 u.s.
607 by the end of July. 1894. Another sale
of bonds, in November ard December Of
that year, brought in s5S,7l9,7I0. ard the
gold balance on Dece mber 4, 1894. was
again $lll ,l42,021. The remedy was ef
fectual for only a brief period, for on Feb
ruary II, 1895. the reasury held only ST..
@40,lN in free gold Again bonds were sold
for which payments aGgregating SOS AS

Thus the net gold balance was carried W.
to SlC7 591 go by July S. 1855. Once moro III

independently of the prospects OF rev
erue or expenditure the treasurer regards
the treasury as having been stronger a
the close than at the opening or the hscal
wear, the Insignificant shrinkage In the
amount of the assets having been more
.ban compensated for IN the Improvement
which took place In this character. Against
net loss OF 81. 10000 in the total holdings
available for the fiscal operations of the
eoverrmeut. there was gain OF upward
of SIG 600 In free gold coupled with an
increase of nearly s23 600 eco In absolutely
secured deposits with banks. and these
chances were effected a. no greater cost
than the loss OF so much In silver and
treasury notes.
The total available assets were ss747 s4,ST
on June 30 1897 and $3.50, GO6,1S6 a year
later. BY the ADDITION of the unavailable
assets carried by the department these
totals are swelIed to 1901 l,576 ar $3.50

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Cattle shipments.

The cattle dealers Of Mississippi and
the south generally can now ship their
cattle to Northern markets at any sea-
son of the year, instead of being COM
PEELED to hold them under the old quar-
antine regulations. According to re-
cent order of the department of agri-
culture, cattle originating in what is
known as the quarantine district may,
after having been properly dipped I'M
der supervision of a government in
spector in a solution of flower of sui
phur and extra dynamo oil, be shipped
without further restriction. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that permission must
first be obtained from the department
to establish dipping stations" and
that cattle after being dipped are to be
certified by an inspector of the bureau
of animal industry. In accordance with
this order dipping vat has been con-
structed at the St. Louis Stock Yards,
and owners of Southern stocker and
feeder cattle may now ship to that sta
ton with assurance that their cattle
may be disposed of at good, strong
prices. Heretofore cattle in quarantine
districts could not be shipped before
November 18th.

MEASLES AT THE PENITENTIARY.
several New Cases Developed Among
the Prisoners Yesterday.

There were several new cases OF measles
at the penitentiary yesterday.
Several who have been Ill are well OF
are convalescent, and this makes IT DIFF
hcult TO say how many cases are IN the
prison at present. None OF them have
ever beer serious, many being very shShl
attacks.
visitors are stlll excluded. partly owing
to fear that smallpox may be developed
among the prisoners, two having come
I'm from Norfolk a day or two before the
disease appeared in the jail in that city a
little over q week ago.
