What They Do With
 the ssGold from Europe

three days necessary to make com plete assay of the shipment Is avoid ed. Whatever additional sum Is due the purchaser after the Assayer's re- poet Is made, he receives in day or two.
 Much the same process, so far as ex- pediency is concerned. Is gone through with the gold coinA They. instead of going to the Assay Office. go direct to the Sub Treasury. Each bag Is weighed unopened. and if found to tip the scales at 800 ounces, go 9,s00 in cash is immediately advanced. That pro- cess saves many hours. for each bag has to be opened. the coins assorted into their several denominations, count ed and weighed for loss from abra- sions After that is done. the money is returned to bags containing s5.00o each and the balance due the jpurchas- CT, whatever it may be, is forwarded to him.
 The only other class of gold ship ment that has to be handled is that of foreign gold coins. They are not even counted, but are placed immedi- ately in a crucible. melted and then sent to the Assay once. where they are treated as were the gold bars. The extra time necessary to secure actual American money for the gold coins of foreign nations is the chief reason for the small amount of gold imported in that form.
 As between shipping gold in coin or bars, there is little preference. It is said that the motion of the ships causes a loss of about $200 in every sh ipment of $1,Uo0,o00. It is fact, however. that the coins do lose con siderably. more in weight than the bars.
