GOLD CERTIFICATES.
An Order for the Printing of Ten
Million Dollars Worth.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Treas
ury Department to-day made requisi-
ton upon the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing for the printing of S10,000,000
gold certificates in denominations of
$50 each. The Treasurer now holds
a large unissued supply of certificates
of the larger denominations.
1t is the evident intention of the
Treasury Department to be in a posi-
ton to issue gold certificates freely for
gold coin, should the fall movement
of currency lead to a demand on the
treasury for gold certificates in ex-
change for gold coin.
1t is to be noted that while gold coins
can be freely had in denominations of
fves and tens, the law restricts the
issue of gold certificates to denom-
ination of $50 or multiples thereof. 1t
is doubtful, therefore, whether gold
certificates will adequately meet the
demand for money of small denomina-
lions.

Grain Crop Of Nebraska.

OMAHA, Aug. 5.-Railroad traffic
men and grain dealers have been max
ing some estimates of the probable crop
of Nebraska. The recent rains have
put it beyond any danger of even par
tial failure and barring few limited
areas where it has been damaged by
storms there never was year when
the prospect this late in the season was
so promising The estimates range In
the neighborhood of 300,00O,0OO, which
is largely in excess of any previous
year. In 1897 the corn crop was estl-
mated at 229000,0C0 bushels. 1t is alb
solutely certain that figure will be ex-
ceeded this year in view of the present
condition and large acreage.
