Bulletin of November 15th, were it loose on gold colange last mootb, and the result is the largest output in years, The total amount of gold coined in October is $9,504,800, including $1,360,000 in "double cigles, $5,68,200 in "eagles," and $2,576,600 in "half-eagles." The large amount of eagles and half-cogies is particularly noteworthy. There is good reasen for this large gold coinage. The amount of gold colu in Government vaults has been reduced to $66,616,950, the smallest total in many years. There is a large supply of goid bullion on hand. On the rat there were $95.657350 in gold bars in the_vanlis. Orders have been given to the Mint officers to keep up the actly in this coinage. It is predicted that $20,002,000 of this bullion will be coined in November and December. It will be well to put the whole amount Into coln as rapidly as possible. This is the only way in which it can be used for currency purposes. Besides, if the bullion Es turned Inta calo, there will be less profit in shipping it abroad.

practice at the bar.

So come aboard my suifp, Sir, And have a little trip, Sir,

Come along with us round Ching, or

And you never will regret it to your very lalest
