Ways and Means Hears Porter Bank Bill In Senate Fight
Washington reports indicate the ways and means committee will likely report favorably the Porter banking bill, setting up a clash with the McPherson bill from the banking and currency committee. Buckner predicts Porter will pass while many think McPherson fails to provide banks adequate relief. Some argue banks do not use all circulation under 90 percent bond value and high bond prices may tempt more sales as premiums rise. The Porter plan to replace ds and 44s with 24s and cover interest from surplus is popular amid rising revenues. A push for federal control of local interests appears as talks of broader government intervention persist. The tariff bill status remains uncertain with Morrison’s proposal altered to remove free ores. The house debated pleuro-pneumonia measures and adjourned after a lengthy session.

Gold supply rise shown by Mint Director Burd-chard interview
Washington February 27 The Post plans to publish Director of the Mint Bur chard remarks stating that in the first half of the current fiscal year gold production and other sources added 25 million dollars. If 20 million were exported now it would not offset that gain and a further 10 million rise is expected. Even with a 30 million loss by July 1, 1884, gold on hand would exceed the level at the start of the year. The current gold supply exceeds 60.6 million dollars in coin and bullion, nearly double pre suspension levels.
