UNCLE SANS FINANCES.
Reasons Given for the Present Disburse-
ments in Gold.

Washington. May 11.-When asked
to-day as to the reason for so large
disbursements i'm gold. Assistant Sec
rotary Nanderlip explained that with
the present large stock of gold in the
treasury ,about $3.50. 600. 900, with the
daily eel coming in paid, as it is.
substantially in gold. it was impera-
tive that disbursements should be
made in similar funds. The fact. too,
that the daily payments are now, and
for some time will continue to be in
eNcess OF the receipts makes 1t plain
that the large gold balance will be
reduced. Comparing the of
the several kinds of money now i'm the
treasury with the figures for Nov. IL,
the last six months. IL is found hat
the amount of gold has increased from
Sl55, O55. $50 To $3.50. $50. 944. The amount
of free silver has decreased from S16.-
IA. 314 to Sc. ia, 100. and the of
United States notes has decreased from
$50. 49, ,95s to $31. Oh .653. The amount
of treasury notes Is shown to ave
been decreased over 81, 40, 900 and the
national bank notes o 81, 900. 600.
and during the same time the deposits
i'm national banks have increased about
$40. COZ. 900 ON of deposits of
money received from the Pacific rail-
roads.
For some months before the declaration
of war the receipts from customs were
constantly increasing. This Is shown by
the records of the department. from which
81 appears that since August. 1897, receipts
from this source were as follows: August,
S6.ss1. 102; September, SI.9i3. 100: October.
81. 7l3. 1874: November. $3.50. OPS; December,
81. $50. 7ss; January, 81. pa. 4s2; February.
sl5. O40. $50: March. 81, $50. 49,.
In April the customs receipts fell off to
Sli. l93. s67. For the first II days of the
present month they amounted to s.. l57 ri.

Freight Rate Discussions.

Milwaukee. May IA hot discussion
developed to-day at the meeting of the
transcontinenta freight bureau relative
TO proposed changes In rates on car load
and less than ear load lots between Chi
cage and SIMULTANEOUSLY big delegation
of San francisco and other Pacific coast
jobbers. manufacturer aud hardware
men appeared az The meeting with a re.
quest that local rates he advanced 10 %
per cent. above ear load rates. The pres
ent advances range from 10 Ia - per
cent. above car load rates. The demand
Is being fought by a commissioner of the
st. Louis traffic bureau and others from
Chicago. who demand that the difference
Ice maintained as at present. or that IL
any changes are made they be graded in
the present proportion all over the coun-
try.
The objection of the San Francisco and
other Pacific coast iobbers Is to prevent
competition from Chicago and ST. Louis
jobbers. II is said that there will be a
fight of several days over the demands.
One Of the demands of the Pacific coast
Jobhers Is that the present rate of Sl.b
on less than car load shipments and 81
per hundred pounds on car load lots of
drugs be changed to n.25 ON car loads
and 81 40 on less than ear load lots.
