Gain Wipes Out
$7,OOO,OOO of Loss
In Gold Holdings
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A 100000 recovery on the Gov
ernment's recent $lo,000,0 0,0o0 gold loss
was reported yesterday by the Federal
Reserve Board.
Figures for the week ended May 16
put the Federal gold stock at $7,753,-
900 ,000, representing a net decline of
only $3.00O.OO0. The $4,000. 900 loss
was reported by the Treasury with
out explanation in Its cash statement
of May 10.
The Reserve System, however. re-
ported a net loss of only $1.222, 900
in its gold certificate holdings, less
than half the reduction in the Gov
ernment's metal. The United States
treasurer's accounts with Reserve
Banks declined $4,000, 900 during the
week while the item "other deposits"
in which 500, 100000 Of Treasury
funds have been included, dropped
$1,000 900.
The Reserve Boards statement Of
condition said:
THE daily average volume Of Fed
eral Reserve Bank credit outstanding
during the week ended May 16. as
reported by the Federal Reserve
Banks, was $2,484 100000, a decrease
of 1000 900, compared with the pre-
ceding week and an increase of $780,
100000, compared with the corre-
spending week in 1888"

NEW TASKS SEEN
FOR DOLLAR FUND
Secret Operations Expected
to Prove Effective in
Silver Program.
BY CLAUDE A, JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, May 18.-President
Roosevelt's plan to submit legislation
stating the policy of the United states
to keep Is per cent Of its metallic
monetary reserves in silver, opens new
vistas for the 81 1000 900, 900 stabiliza-
ton fund, in the opinion OF some
monetary experts.
There is nothing strikingly new In
this proposal. 1t is substantially the
idea presented by the American dele
CATION to the World Economic Con-
ference nearly a year ago, but with
the big stabilization fund now in ex-
istence, the plan about to be placed
on the statute books, the realization
of the objective may be nearer.
The stabilizatiop fund operates in
complete secrecy, and might gradually
accumulate considerable silver before
the markets knew what was going on,
so it may be some time before it Is
known how rapidly the administra-
ton proposes to approach the new sill
yer reserve ratio.
In effect, it is pointed out, the sta
bilization fund could sell gold and
buy silver. Students of the Federal
Reserve and Treasury statements al
ready see signs that the fund is ac-
cumulating gold In the last few
, weeks, some $2O,OO00O0 in gold has
come into the country, and not gone
into any of the public accounts. so
some experts suggest that it has been
absorbed by the fund.
How much silver the United States
would have to accumulate to bring its
monetary holdings up to 25 per cent of
its total metallic stocks will depend
upon how much gold we have at that
time, how much silver is worth in
terms of gold, and whether the 25-75
per cent ratio of silver to gold is to
apply to all the monetary gold in the
country, or only that gold appearing
in the Reserve System statement as
the metallic basis of Federal Reserve
currency.
This weeks statement shows total
gold held in the country Of S7.753,-
100000 If we we're to have enough
silver in addition to make it 25 per
cent of the total gold. it would require
more than So ,500000,000 worth. At
present the various Treasury accounts
hold silver valued at little more than
s5oo,oo0 900.
