THE GOLD SUPPLY.
Treasurer Roberts Says 1t fs as Heay,

treasurer Roberts Says 1t fs as Heavy
as Wanted.
Treasurer Roberts of the United States
has had to again impress upon subtreasur-
ers throughout the country that the gov
eminent is not seeking gold, and that it's
supply is as heavy as wanted, with a con-
tiIual and steady growth.
The gold reserve yesterday was increased
$4,000. despite the fact that almost as
much was sold from it's bullion stock for
use in the fine arts and paid for in cur
rCncy. The gold reserve yesterday after
neon stood at $166. 162, ,O85.
Treasurer Roberts said to a Star reporter
today that efforts are being made in New
York to turn in gold in exchange for cur
rency at western points, notably Cincinna. Il
transportation charges. Gold is in excess
in New York. said Mr.. Roberts. land cur
"ncy is in demand elsewhere The demand
for currency runs geographically. The de-
mand is now principally from Cincinnati
and st. Louis and other cities in that re-
gicn. snort time ago the demand was
from the northwest, to move the grain
crop. 1t changes with the seasons"
year and a half ago the subtreasury in
gold in exchange for currency at other
points, but then gold was being kept away
AS the matter now stands. the currency
supply will grow short and gold Will have
to be paid out.
Treasurer Roberts said he saw no pros
pect that the inflow of gold to the treasury
will discontinue. I'VE are receiving at the
rate of s1OOO.OOO a month from customs
duties alone. Besides, we are receiving
gold from Australia, and much of the gold
brought out from the Klondike country
last year gets to the treasury.
