Free Gold in the Treasury at Washamatox May 18
Free gold on the treasury books yesterday totaled 2.8 million dollars. Export from New York saves 1.5 million, and 1 million is engaged for export today. The treasury department has not been advised whether all gold will be taken from the subtreasury, so the exact remaining free gold cannot be stated. If fully withdrawn, 300,000 dollars would remain free above the 160,000,000 dollar gold reserve.
