In regand to the proposition of the government paying a year's interest on §5,000,000f cur- rency 6s bonds, Secretary Windom stated thatcongress would have to authorizeit. A propsitionwhich metthe unanimous approval of those present, mcluding the secretary, wasto suspend the payment of customs du- ties from November [ to February 1. Secre- tary Windom said the present dificulty in the money market he believed to be one thatextended all overthe country and wos not contined to Wall street or even New York Hejsaidit would require a great deal of careful lonsideration to settle upon the best method of relieving the stringency and for that reason aothing would be "done hastily.”? Inregard to the scare which s based upon the belief that a largeamount of money—ac- cording tomany not less than §50,000,000— will be required immediatelyin duties to takegoodsout of bond in case the MeKinley bill goes into effect October 1, Assistant Tresurer Roberts says: “It might be si gested in the first place that this amount s oventated, for the custom house authorities have estimatel that the amount of duty payable ou gods now in bond does mob amount tomorethan $10,00,000. In the sec- ondplace if these goods are withdawn in large amounts and thrown upon the market it will have a tendency to check imports so thatthe amounts of revenue received will b dininished. At any rat it should notin- creme the stingency. It would be wise, however,in my opition for congress toextend the time within which goods now in bond could be withdrawn, This would teud to re- lieve the market, butin any aspect of the caso I do not think there is any serious gromd for alarm,” S, N. Whitewentto Washington last night and has been iuconference with members of the senate finance and the house ways and mews commiltres. He says: “There is no doubt whatever that the tima for the withdrawal of goods from bond will be ex- tended. The treasury department is doing eveything posible for the relief of the mousy marketand will continue to extend ull therelief which may be found secessary.*! Shipments of curiency have been heavier this week than any previous one this season, Neuly all the curveicy shipped went west andsouth, There has been a heavy outward movement of gold, $00,000going to Sun Frun- ciswo, Secretary Windom made a statement to- night regurding the amount of money tied up in the treasury. He said: “Comparisons have recontly been made of the surplus now reported in the treasury with the amount re- ported ayear ago, from which the erroncous conclusion is drawn that the preseat admin- istrtion has pursued @ policy toward con- traction, In this connection the fullowing statement will show the fallacy of this belief, The amount of met cash, fractioual silver and rational bak redemption funds in the treasury September 1, 1850, was about 141,000,000, The amount of the same items ptember 10, 180), was $¥), 20, wlhich demonstrates the fuct that over #il,- OO0000 more money has been paid out since September 1, 1359, than was received into the tresury during that time, Inother words, every dollar received by the treasury since Seplember 1, 1859, has been paid out and over $£1,00,00 besides. The apparest sur- plus shown Septernbor 10, 1860, of $0,500,220 1s wade up @ follows! Frictional silver coins, about §2,000000 ((unavailable for the gwhuc of bonds);in national depositories, 2,000,00 (now in circulation), These two items, anounting to#7,000,000, deducted from $9,000,00, leaves about £52000,00, which represenls’ the emtire available cash in the treasury, and that sum is part of 5,000,000 of the nalional bank redemption funds made llable by the recent actof congress, There = thasatia pat e dollarin tha treasi ey sur- Kuhns, B.
