GOLD IN THE TREASURY
At Washington Now Exceeds That
of Any Former Period
In Country's
History.

Washington, D. C. Sept. S.--The
sum of gold now in the United
States Treasury exceeds that of any
previous time in the history of the
country, and with one possible ex-
ception it exceeds that of any coun-
try at any time in the history of
the world. The single reported ex-
ception is that of Russia, about eight
years ago, when that country was
preparing to resume gold payments.
Last Saturday the vaults of the
United States Treasury contained
1913, 936, 1914, an increase since July
1, 1901 of $79,0S7 1897. This stock
of gold is now being added to at
the rate of from 100000 to 100000
a day, with no immediate prospect
of cessation in the rate of deposits.
This condition of things is emin-
emily satisfactory to the Treasury
officials, who regard it as the best
possible evidence of prosperity and
of confidence in the financial
stability of the country.
