On another page there appears re-
sumo of the report of the director of the
mint, showing that for the fiscal year
ending June 30 the greatest coinage by
nearly one half of any year in the history
of the country took place. The volume
of general business transacted during the
year is we'll illustrated by the fact that
in spite of the mint reports there was a
great stringency in the money market,
forcing the government to purchase $25,-
100000 In bonds before they were due, in
order to set free currency enough to
meet demands of trade.
