the magnitude of the available cash
balance and the unprecedented hold

turn ot tbe condition of the Treasury
at the close of the fiscal year 1901. The

in ae it Is available for the redemption
of legal tender notes. Nearly one-hnlf
of tbe available cash balance was In
gold coin and certificates, $103,801,290
, over and ^bove the gold reserve of
$1(0,0000.000 and by October It became
$138,124,771. As a measure of tbe finan
cial strength of the government tbe re
port says the fact deserves mention. By
October 1, 1902. tbe available cash bal
ance. exclusive of tbe reserve, wee
$231,283,394: and owing to tbe large

to $220,621,870. Of this sum 1145,885.012

In tbe country has run up from 36.52 to

of gold coin and gold certificates was

On June 27 .the gold certificates out

tbe change could be gradually made as
