BOLD EXPORTS
ARE VERY HEAVY
Government Makes the Biggest
Transfer In Its History to
Meet Demands.
NEW YORK, July 9.—Guards of the
United States Express Company, arm
ed with repeating rifles and auto
iqatic revolvers, have delivered $43,
0d0,000 to the Sub-treasury in this
city in the last week. The gold in
bars and coin came from other
branches of the United States Treas
ury and constituted tl^e greatest
transfer ever made between Sub
treasuries. The last of (he gold came
in over the Lehigh Valley Railroad
yesterday morning. It was contain
ed in five express cars, each bearing
$5,000,000.
These transfers of gold by the gov
ernment were prompted by the fact
fqr the last six weeks we have been
losing gold to Europe on a large
scale. Since the first of May $53,
000,000 has gone out and since the
beginning of the year a total of$69,~
000,000. At the start of the move
ment bars were taken from the New
York assay office, but the suupply
there ran out quickly and nearly all
the shipments of the last month have
been made in coin taken from the
vaults of the United States Sub
treasury here.
After $40,000,000 coin had l>e"n thus
lost to this country the government
is said to have decided to put a
check on any further shipments of
coin. This was to be accomplished
by putting bars at the disposal of the
bankers who have had to ship gold
to meet payments due to Europe
which could be settled In no other
way. This is the interpretation which
the financial district put yesterday
on the bringing here of $25,000,000
in bars and the notice given to the
exporting bankers that beginning on
last Monday gold bars would be put
at their disposal at the rate of $5,
000,000 a day. Coin of course is paid
out at its face value. For bars the
government receives a premium.
The $25,000,000 in bars came from
the Sub-treasury at Denver. It con
stituted in itself a high record for a
single consignment sent out by the
government. The pages of federal
financial history have to be turned
back twenty years to- find another
transfer that approached the one
from Denver in magnitude, and this
was made in the days before the gov
ernment intrusted to any other ag
ency the handling of its Treasury
funds in bulk. It amounted to $20,
000,000 and came from San Francisco
by mail train, being handed over from
one mail department to another along
the route from the coast.
The rest of the $43,000,000 was di
vided into a shipment of $13,000,000
in coin from the Philadelphia mint
and $5,000,000 from Baltimore, also
in coin. The vast transfer was made
partly to reimburse the Sub-treasury
here for a part of the gold delivered
in exchange for gold certificates and
sent to London and Paris and Ber
lin in the present export movement
and to provide for ahy further pos
sible drain upon the government's
holdings at this centre.
The United States Express Com
pany’s agents breathed a sigh of re
lief when the last consignment had
been safely ferried across from Jer
sey city and deposited at the Sub
treasury. ' Although the treasury of
ficials decided oil the transfer of gold
rather suddenly, the express com
pany was not unprepared for the
work. Since 1.1)04, when an exclu
sive contract for handling shipments
of government specie, gold bars, and
bills was made with the Treasury by
Senator Thomas C. Platt, head of the
United Stales Express Company, that
company has made many such trans
fers and has a force of men trained
for the wqrk.
The gold coin was put In the cars
in Baltimore and Philadelphia In bags
containing 150,000 each, and four
guards were assigned to each car.
Hie cars were sealed and y®r® un
opened until a representative of the
express company broke the seals In
Jersey CHy. There the bags Were
count**!, 'jtfyt in Wfes, atid taken
aboard the ferry bonis.
