PRESIDENT PUTS STOP
TO OUTFLOW OF GOLD
Conservation of Coin, Bullion
and Currency Placed in
McAdoo's Hands.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.-President
Wilson tonight placed an embargo, ell
fective September 10, on the exporta-
tion of coin, bullion and currency. Al
the same time he authorized the sec
retary of the treasury to license suc'i
expectations where in the opinion OF
the federal reserve board they are not
harmful to public interest.
The effect of the embargo will be
to place absolute control over golu
exports in the hands Of Secretary Nc
Adoo and the D,deral reserve board.
Officials believe that the measure will
go far toward conserving the huge
store of gold accumulated In this
country since the beginning of the
war. store which recently has been
drawn upon rather heavily by Japti,
Mexico and Spain.
Strict adhesion to the embargo is
regarded as unlikely and undesirab bic.
Curtailment. however, OF the free
movement of gold to the orient ap-
pears probable. For some time past
treasury and reserve board officials
have viewed with some concern the
flow of gold from the United states,
a movement which started with the
financing here of the allies.
Within the five-week period ending
August II gold exports totaling S73,
900. 900 were more than four times as
great as imports. The movement fas
been too recent. however, to affect
substantially the great volume of gold
in this country. The stock is $4,000
600, 900, of which approximately ~
per cent has been imported since
January. 1915.
Imports of gold during the current
year have totalled more than $685.
900, 900. Exports were recently esti-
mated to have approximated $780,
900, 900 or more than twice as ,nuoa
as the volume exported all together
in 1916. Much of this gold has gone
to Japan. which has a balance OF
trade against the United States. and
recently expectations to Spain have
assumed large proportions.
