Assay Office has been ordered by Wash

lt Is believed the reason for this order Is
the fact that sales of gold bars to trade
have recently been unprecedentedly
large, and the Treasury Department is
suspicious that gold is being either
boarded or taken for export. For twelve
months ending June 80 last sale of gold
bars to the trade at New York reached
