This is not only lar ger sum than was ever held by the treasury along to a few days ago, but it is a bigger hoard than any other government has ever had. Several years ago Russia, when ac- cumulating big stock of the metal for special purpose, run up to S59S,- 100000. The United States has left that sum now far behind.
