OUR STOCK OF GOLD.
Treasury Holdings Amount to $474.-
1OS.336-The Country's Supply ST.
100000, 900.

Washington, November 30.-The Iarg-
est stock of gold coin and bullion ever
held in the United States is now accum-
mulated in the treasury and it's branch
es. The total has been rising steadily
during the whole of the present year
and the moun is nov $474. los, 1886, or
about SIC, 900, 900 greater than at the
close of 1899. The increase up to June
Goth was about $23, 600, 900, but since hat
time has been abou 81, 900, 900 for July
Sc, 900, 900 for August, $40, 000, 900 for
September SIS, 600, 900 for October and
ST, 900, 900 thu far in November.
The gold is not all direct property Of
the United States, but is held against
outstanding gold certificates. The
amount. less the amount in the treas
ury and it's branches, was S239, 1855, 800
Wednesday. All the remaining gold,
amounting to about $243, 000, 900, belongs
to the treasury as a part Of the reserve
fund of $3.50, 000. 600 or the free fund Of
1913, 600, 600 in the general cash. The in
fiux of gold into the treasury comes
partly from the new gold from the
Klondike, and other mines, but it's re-
tention is due to the pressure for cur
rency, which leads to the acceptance
of gold certificates and other paper
money in preference to coin. The
treasury has recently been shipping
small notes in large quantities to New
Orleans n other points upon deposits
of gold in the New York sub-treasury
by the New York reserve agents of the
southern banks.
The gold supply of the country On
the last day of 1896 was estimated at
1892, 947, PIP. The estimated amount No
vember 1,1900, was 81, OS0, 027, 4O7 it

Washington, November 30.-President
Hutin. of the Panama Canal Company,
called by appointment upon Secretary
Hay today and had a long talk with
him touching the prospects OF the Pan
anna canal as affected by the probable
legislation at the approaching congress.
The Panama Company has as yet made
no official tender of the. property to
the state department. 1t has, however.
presented to the isthmian canal COM
mission, of which Admiral Walker is
president. a full statement OF the al
fairs of the company and the conditions
upon which it might be willing to pass
control of it's property Ito the United
States government in the event that the
Panama route should be chosen
The commission viii include NJ. HUI
tins communication in its report so
that congress will nave before it ma
terial for exercising a choice OF its own
as between the Nicaraguan and the
Panama routes.
The canal commission is making a
effort to finish its prelimi-
nary report, which. according TO prom
Use. was to be delivered to h president
TODAY. 1t is now said that the docu-
ment will be sent to ongres as an ac-
compartment Of he presidents mes
sage and tina meanwhile, 1t Will PROB
all -1t be made public.
1t is evidently the or the
administration to press cana leglsla-
ton upon congress earnestly ana
speedily from the very beginning or
the session. 1t is expected that before
final action can be had in the senate
upon the pending house bill providing
for the construction of the
canal. the executive branch of the-g gov
will have succeeded In re-
moving certain obstacles which now
lie in the course Of the pending Hay
Paunceforte treaty, n if this latter
convention should be ratified the ad-
ministration influence will be cast in
favor of the pending bill. There have
been several conferences of late be-
tween Secretary Hay on n side and
Seniors Correa and Calvo, the ministers
for Nicaragua and Costa Rica, respec-
lively. and 1t is believed that by way
of anticipating action upon the Hay
Paunceforte treaty the basis has al
ready been laid for the treaties with the
two isthimian routes which would be
necessary to give effect ito the caEai
hill and to secure for the United States
