GREAT INFLOW OF GOLD.
Secretary Shaw Speaks of = Noticeable
Feature of Treasury Transactions
More Subsidiary Coin.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The annual re-
port Of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
was submitted to congress Tuesday.
He says in part:
'The most noticeable features in the
condition Of the treasury are the in
creased available cash balance and the
increased holdings Of gold. Since 1890,
the available cash balance, including
the reserve,, has more than doubled,
rising from $l7s,25s.S37.1 to $685.
86,l14.23.
Gold continues to accumulate in the
treasury. The total holdings of gold
on July 1. 1903, were $63l APO, 7S9.43,
an increase for the year Of ST., 22O, 4S9.
On October l, 1903, the total holdings
Of gold in the treasury amounted to
$654,S11.716.
AT the close Of the year ended Oc-
tober 81, 1903, the national banking
system had been in operation 40 years
and months. During this time 1929
national banks were organized of
which 5,9O7 were banks of primary or
ganization and 1,122 were state banks
converted into national associations.
There arrived In this country dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80. 1908,
s57,O46 aliens, travelling in the steer
age, an excess over the corresponding
figures for the preceding year Of 208,-
303, or 80 per cent. OF these, 80+, 456
arrived at United States continental
ports, 1850 at insular ports, either
Hawaii or Porto Rico, and $500 at
Canadian ports.
There is now available for coinage
into subsidiary coin less than 5000, 900
ounces Of silver This will be exhausted
approximately at the close Of the cur
rent fiscal year. Authority should be
given to recon existing silver dollars
into subsidiary coin, or to purchase adj
ditional silver with which to supply the
ever-increasing needs Of the country.
The present volume of silver stored in
the vaults OF the treasury Is equiva-
lent to nearly so carloads Of 80 tons
each. It would cost 500, 900 to recount
II. This enormous amount Is worth
IN bullion less than half Of its coinage
value, but 1t is all redeemable, at the
discretion Of the secretary Of the treas
ury. in gold"
