Foster's good luck keeps free gold margin steady
Reports from Wasahindrox dated September 7 indicate Secretary Foster maintains a healthy free gold margin in the Treasury despite bond redemptions. Gold certificates deposited in New York boosted total free gold to about $52.87 million, with redeemed bonds largely paid in gold or currency funds. The ongoing exports to Europe and strong government credit suggest the free gold stock will hold or grow, even as redemptions slow.
