largest In the history of the mint Tbe total will be about 180,000,000. against only 111,840,202 for tbe calendar year 1892, and $1,282,185 for 1891. Tbe largest previous record was la 18*1, when tbe gold coinage was $07,588,15}, and In 1881, when the amount was $67,272,810. The gold coinage of other years has not approached the figures. The large coinage of the present year has beta due principally to the demands for sc old from the treasury. The export demand now has to be met In coin, for the act of 1890 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to Impose a charge for gold bars. Even without the export demand a heavy coinage has been required to meet tbe ordinary payments of Che treasury. The reduction of the currency balance last fall made It necessary to pay out gold poln. and bullion had to be coined to keep the coin in the treasury equal to the outsandin? gold certificate* Most of the coinage at Philadelphia and Now Orleans D in eagles, but a part of that at Fan Francisco Is limited to the bullion deposited there as the product of the Western miues and saves the cost of transportation to tbe East
