tho latent declination of the govern

Washington, Nov. 13. The annual
report of the treasurer of the United
States, 12111s II. ltobcrts, on the oper
ations nnd conditions of the treasury,
was submitted to Secretary Gage
Monday. Mr. Koberts says the growth
and prosperity of tho country and the
general activity of business are re
flected in the transactions of his
oillce. The net ordinary revenues of
the government for the fiscal year
were .OT.'J-IO.S.U', the largest in the
history of tlie country, exceeding
those of JSG0, the next highest, by
$47,2'J1,SS8. The increase of $.'il,L,S0,"32
over tin; preceding year was contrib
uted from all general sources, but
chiefly from customs and internal
revenue, vju the side of the expend
itures there was a net decrease of
$117,:i58,:iSS In comparison with 1899,
so that the deficiency of $39,111,500
for that year was converted into a
surplus of $7'.),5a7,0C() in 1900. The
gross receipts under warrant, includ
ing those on account of the public
debt, were $l,:iS7,SU9,2C2, and tho dis
bursements $l,19.",91.t,-172, a large in
crease on both sides over the previous
year. With the exception of July. 1S90,
when there was a deficiency of $S,50G,
832, a surplus was realized for every
month of the year, the one for June
being the largest at $1 7.895,1 9.
The aggregate amount of money of
all kinds in circulation on October 1,
1900, is estimated at $2,113,294,983, an
increase of $180,810,744 in 15 months,
of which $94,440,930 was duo to the
enlarged use of gold and gold certifi
cates. The increase per capita was
from $25,38 to $27.01. The per capita
of gold at the latter date was $10.00,
which is greater than that of all the
currency in 1S02, while the total of
gold is greater than all the circulation
at any time previous to July, 1S97.
On October 1, 39.24 per cent, of the
total circulation wns in gold and ,'kl
certificates, 20.45 in silver dollars, sil
ver certificates and treasury notes,
15.3(5 per cent, in United States notes,
and 15.11 per cent, in national bank
notes. It is a significant comparison
that on June 30, 1890, the percentage
of United States notes was 22.5S. Two
years earlier it was as high as 32.07.
Willie the volume of United States
notes, treasury notes and silver cer
tificates is limited by statutory pro
visions, tlie stock of gold is constant
ly growing. The metallic stock of
money is estimated for October 1,
1900, at $1,039,288,820 In gold, $500,355,
307 in silver dollars and bullion, and
$SO,000.7IS in fractional silver coin,
an aggregate of $1,711,011,935.
