INCREASING EARNEST FRELING RESPECTING OUR COIN RESERVE—WHAT IS REQUIRED OF THE BANKS AND ‘TREASURY DEPARTMENT—HOW MUCH ACTUAL GOLD COIN IS THERE IN THE COUNTRY ?—ACTION oF THE PRODUCE EX- CHANGE CONCERNING THE APPROACHING MOLI- DAY—RAILWAY EARNINGS. There Was an exceedingly limited circulation ot the subject matter expressed in the above title outside of the Stock Exchange yesterday, and even there the circolation was not lively, a8 will be seem by a reference to the money column. The year | promises to wind up quietly, with @ peculiar ab- | Sence of leverishness in the current situation. That ts, pernaps, one of the most hopeful assur- ances such siuation could at this time give for the future. Nothing new ta to be expected mow antil the yearly bal- ance sheet throughout the country has been made out, inspected and passed upon. This clear understanding of their assets and itablities On the part of our people will, tt ts hoped, prove more favorable than feared. 1t 13 much to be de- sired that the Treasury Department would set an ! example to the banks which the Dank examiners | Should require them to foliow of making A COUNT OF THE ACTUAL COIN ON HAND, irrespective of gold certificates, bonds pledged as coin and avy other obligation regarded in official exhibits as coin which ts not the hard metal tte sel, Let us, as on this ist of January ensuing, | emerging, as we are, froma severe sock to all | credit throughout the country shock 80 severe that we are, in @ measure, prepared for almost | any — disclosures—learn exactly where we | stand in respet to our ability by visible Coin supply to meet existing coin obligae tions.

There cau be no good reason [or such @ count beiny avoided at such a time as this and under suci circumstances, especially as the clear understanding that would thereby be gained Of our actual coin resources (in hard pan) would DO MORZ TO DESTROY THE OCCUPATION OF THE GOLD ROOM, that standing menace to ull efforts at specie re- sumption, abd so help the “consummation de- |} Voutly to be wished,” than the combined wisdom | gi, at ali events, the present Congress is likely to furnish. Jt wil be recollected that the Secretary | of the Treasury ia empowered by law to issue gold ceriificates to the amount of twenty per cent im | eXcess of his coin deposits. It 1s openly asserted | that such issue DOW exisia to the extent of sume $6,000,000, an amount considerably within the limit of the Secretary's powers, but which—and here ia the objection made in this matter—there — | being no provision for their appearance in the Treasury statement, and they peung equivalent to | cum at the moneiary centres, it is aaserted, are | counted ag coin in the bank reserves, and it may be Treasury deposits, and so made the basis of & fresh twenty per ceut iasue, should. such be re- | quired, ad infinitum.
