GOLD RESTRICTION LIFTED.

Trade without License.

Verne NJ Bowie, superintendent OF the
New York Assay ONCE, announced yes
terday that restrictions imposed upon
the issuance of gold for trade or other
purposes have been removed and that
the Assay Office will henceforth sell
gold as heretofore.
This announcement withdraws the
ruling OF September 0. according to
which the Director OF the Mint issued
gold bars at the Assay ONCE for trade
purposes only on presentation of a GER
tificate from the War Industries Board.
Gold for export, under the same ruling.
was issued only subject to a license
from the Federal Trade Board.
The announcement followed closely
upon the statement coming from Wash
ington that the Federal Reserve Board
estimated the excess Of gold imports
over exports since the beginning OF the
war, August 1, 1914. at $1,072,e06, 900.
The excess OF silver imports for the
same period Is estimated at s214,126,O00
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-11-20

amounting 20 1870 900 for the
month. This caused railway operating
income to fall to S1o1,3Ss, 900 from the
August figure OF S12S.128,000.
For the nine months up to October /
total railway revenues from leading
roads amounted to S3.541 .343, 900. and
operating expenses S2,861, $4,000. De-
auctions of taxes left operating income
OF sb39.549.o00. of which s5fs,656, 900
goes to the Government.
The Railroad Administration, officials
declare. has no immediate intention of
materially reducing freight rates, but
Director General McAdoo has under
consideration a recommendation that he
remove the half cent a mile extra fare
charge for Pullman travel. The effect
OF this, It Is said, would be to increase
Pullman travel and decrease coach
patronage, a result not considered en-
tirely desirable by the Government.
