GOLD ESTIMATE TOO HIGH.

ing Investigations Made, as
Does MnfIernan.

Washington. Aug 4 aIr. Roberts,
director Of tie mint, iii speaking or
the probable modification Of the pres
ent estimate of the stock of gold in the
country, said, In part:
..Some notifications Of the present
estimate will doubtless be made rs the
result of an extended inquiry that is
being made BIZ this bureau and By Mr.
Muhleman, of the New York sub-treas-
ury, but the reduction viii be small as
compared with the stock. The original
basis Of the treasury estimate Is a COM
putation made by Dr. Linderman, di-
rector Of the mint in 1878 Gold was
then at premium aud not in general
circulation. He took the amount in
the treasury and IN national banks and
al 3ed S20a00,00o for the circulation
on the Pacific coast and S10000,0g0 for
the holdings of other banks and boards
lin all s135,0006O0.

"'fhe gold in the treasury and Id the

of the stock that can be actually count
ed. At the date Of the last reported

past Of gold carried ont Of the conn
try on the persons of travellers.
Mr.. Roberts said inquiries had been
made and he estimated this at from
100000 to Ss00.00o Inquiries had
been addressed to about 4st06o firms
regarding the amounts used by manu-
faeturefs jewelers.. dentists etc, and
about 70 per cent replied. This was
estimated at about S3,500,Ooo.
Mr.. Muhleman, of the New York sub
treasury, has been a dfligent student
of the subject for years, and Is OF opihs
ion that owing chiefly to errors made
prior to 1885 the estimate had been TOO
large by perhaps S1e6.ooa,0do. VI. TOD
erts says some of Mr. Muhlelnah ng-
ures will likely be adopted, ana as 4
result of the revision the amount Will
be reduced between S30,00oooo ana
500 200 600 He thinks the matter
should b. further looked into.
