A GREATER STOCK OP CURRENCY Than the Country Has Had Accumulated for a Terj Long Time. CONDITIONS THAT HATE CAUSED IT SPECIAL TILEOBAM TO TItl DKPATCH.1 Xew York, Jan. 3L "The Piling "Up of Idle Currency" is the title under which Matthew Marshall writes, as follows, for to morrow's Sum The return flow of currency from tho country following the autumn movement of the crop always results at this season in a larze accumulation of lawful money in our New York banks, but this j ear tho accumu lation has been extraordinary. The banks reported last Saturday averages of $113,192, RUiu specie and $502,06S In legal tenders making a total of IlG3,3a,.t,400.apiinst a simi lar total of $126,704,300 a year aso and of $121, 563,60.) the first Saturday of February, 1S90. This amount larpely exceeds that of any re serve lieretofoie held by the banks of the eitj during the whole course of their his tory, and it is to me a most striking and in teresting fact. Of course it must bo taken into considera tion that tho general stock or curroncy in the country is greater than it ever has been at any previous period. Since 1S78 v. e have corned and practically put into circulation about $100,000,000 in standard silver, and under the act of Jnlr H. 1590, we have issued siuce mat date $SOOJOOO0 in silver bullion notes. -Acainst tuU increase, it is true, must be offset a diminution of $170.000 000 in the national bank circulation, but tins still leases a net currency gain of $310 000,000. without, counting our regular annual gold coinage Thjf Weather a Considerable Factor. As Secietary of the Treasury showed Iny st report, so far from there being Juction in volume and consequent .-atii e scarcity of our circulating me- as the stungency of last autumn i to indicate, the amount or It on 1, 1S9I, wa $1,497,410,707, or $23 41 per a of population, and at tho date of the ft. December L it had increased to 7,262,070, or to $24 31 per capita. ieunuual scerityof the winter at the t and South has probably something to with lessening the demand Tor currency those sections, and thus allowing moro or to come to us. Snowstorms, blizzards id continued fiosts have stopped a great cal ot outdoor work which could have been --arriedon in milder weather, and to that extent have made currency superfluous. Then again, the preponderating disposi tion of the farmers and planters to use tho piocecdsof tho crops in paying off their debts instead of spending it m purchases of goods or laim implements, which, our mei chants complain, makes trade dull, releases a good deal of money which would other-wn-e be kept in circulation. A similar cause, is, to a certain extent, also in operation hero at the East. I think I can see around me a general prevalence of cantions co nserva-M-m on the pait of moneyed men which in dispoes them from embarking in new cn tci prises, thus giving circulation to tho money now piling up in tho banks. Confidence Supplanted by Timidity Three years ego, under the pressure of the enormous Government bond redemptions, prices of good securities wont up so that the rate of interest on permanent investments went down below 3 per cent. This made capitalists -willing to take large risks in order to secure a larger income, and re Milted in an era of speculation which came lomd onlv with the Baring collapse or No vember. 1690. That catastrophe produced a iv ulsion or feeling, and since itsoccurrence timidity has supplemented confidence in tho minds ol investors and has made them as ovei-carcful as tlicv previously were over bold. Still, the facfis undeniable that the natural supply of currency is greater than it has been, and the prospect for the future is vastl v in favor of its further increase. The act of July, 1S90, alone is adding $4 300,000 to iteverv month; the new coinage of gold amounts to not less than $20,000,000 a year: and it the threatened disbursement of the $1000,000 so-called legal tender reserve gold Jimd in the Treasury for the current expen Jdftuif.' .of the Government should take 'place, that also would go to sweU the mass. liy the na.v, 1 observe that the old and orten exposed section of an act tf Congress creating this this $100 000,000 gold fund, and making it un lawful to impair it, has recently been rc viedby writers who have not taken the pains to inform themselves of the truth and who have accepted Secretary Manning's armtrary dictum on tho point ns law. I think It would be bad policy for the Govern ment to use the fund In the manner sug gested, but that ic has the legal right to do it is beyond question. Only to Be Redeemed In Coin. Nobody, to be sure, is likely to present tho legal tenders for redemption, and if he should he would not be entitled to demand gold for tBem. They are in express terms paj able "id coin," as anyone may see if ho would read what is printed on their face, and this gives the Treasury the right to pay them in sliver If Its gold should 'be ex hausted. But a run on the Treasury is pos sible, and if one should be precipitated bv the disappearance or the existing $100,000,000 gold fund, a stoppage of it by paying out sil ver would be almost as bad as a suspension ot specie payment altogether. It would at once make the bullion value of the silver dollar the unit of our monetary system, and although I recognize thtt this is a lesult to which we are slowly drifting, I should hate to see the process accelerated by official ac tion. At the same time 1 repeat what I have before asserted, that the mere adoption a silver standard would not create a strin gency and a panic Gold would indeed cease to circulate from hand to hand, but that is of no importance. The bulk of it would be retained by the banks who hap pened to hold It, and would be counted as part of their reserve. Just as it Svas during the war. The prices of commodities, on the other hand, would rise to meet the diminu tion of the value of the dollar, and thus an opportunity ould be afforded lor specula tion such as resulted from the depreciation of the legal tenders soon alter their first issue, and a like temporary era of seeming prosperity would follow. Legal Tenders Must lie Kept at Tar. But this is a digression. I don't believe the Government will risk the consequences of disbursing the $100,000,000 fund it has so long held in gold, even though it has held it fora purpose not required by law. Public sentiment and public opinion are qnitc as much leared by politicians and respected by statesmen as legislative nets are, and at present they both demand that the legal tenders shall be kept at par with gold as long as possible Nor has the amount of sil ver bullion notes under the act of July, 1KU, et become sufficient to thicaten a speedy stamping of cold by sliver. The immediate danger trom a piling up of unused currency, such as we are now wit nessing, lies in another direction. It con sists in the facilitj it offers for a renewal of tho era of speculation which preceded 1890, with the result of a collapse not merely like that of 1?90, but also aggravated by a sudden 'epletion of the swollen volume of currency hicli caused the inflation. Abundant currency leads to high prices, id high prices attract sellers, If we keep i In the way we aro going this country will -oon be, if it is not so already, the best mar ket in tne world to sell goods in, in spite of the McKinley tariff act. Alieady tho friends of thatmfasure are exulting over the fact that since it went into operation our im ports have increased, not perceiving that tho increase tells neither for nor airainst the tnnff, but indicates only our ability to buy. The Irospect lor Another Year. At present we ale paying for our imports by exports of breadstuffs and provisions, but the stoppage of gold imports show s that we do nothing more. What will happen an other year unless this year's extraordinary conjunction of good harvests here and bad harvests abroad should again recur, it is easy to predict. The disappearance orgold, w hich is wrongly feared as the consequence of h simple transition of the silver stand ard, will then work actual mischief. Europe will continue to send ns goods, !iad not needing ns much food as she docs this j ear, she will take gold, even if she has to pay a premium for it. In tbU way our currency will be reduced by the amount of the gold abstracted, prices w Ml fall, and speculators who have bought goods with borrow ed money and have kept them for a rise will bo ruined. Thoe only w ho have Mild in season will come out with & profit, but these are usually the excep tions. Success in one venture leads to a re newal of the experiment, and thus men go on and on until they come ont no richer than they wrnt In, if. Indeed, they are not ' poorer. a write an mis witn no expectation main will h.ve any effect in influencing tne nctm,i o. my resdert, and I sbou.il hu sorry iftc, did. Results lu finance, as in politics, are; the outcome or numerous causes, not all of i which can ensllv be discovered at once. Often what seems to be certain fails to oc cur, and what seemed very unlikely comes in Its place. But, with over $160,000,000 of currencv ptlod up In our banks, and money going a-begging at less than S per cent per annum on call and 4 per cent and less on time, it will be a miracle if prices of things that money can buy don't rise all around. Caution Giving May to Confidence. Good interest-bearing securities are al ready exhibiting an upward tendency, though, as I said, the market for new ones is limited by tho cautionsness of investors. Their caution must, however, ultimately give way to confidence, as it has so often done be I ore under like Influences, and then they will not be able to buy fast enough. I desire to say berore I conclude that when, three weeks ago, I said our own city gas stocks seemed to me more desirable for investors here than similar Investments out West, and I predicted an ultimate increase in the dividends of the Consolidated Gas Company, I had no idea that the increase was so soon to be made nor, indeed, as I have the best of reasons tor believing, had the officers of tho company. None of them bought tho company's stock In advance of their action on Friday any moro than I did, and the entire benefit of it has been reaped by the stockholders in general.

McDonald Puts Out Two-Thirds of the Entire New Production. SOME WELLS WHICH ARE DDE T0-DAT The monthly report of work in the oil fields of Pennsylvania shows a-small gen eral decrease in new production, completed wells and drilling wells. The decrease is so slight that it can scarcely be considered as bullish. There is an increase of three in the number of rigs and a decrease of sir in the number of dry holes. Taking into consid eration the inclemency of the weather dur ing the month and the difficulty experienced by operators in getting over the country, it is astonishing that so much new 'work should be under way. Notwithstanding the fact that the days of gushers have al most passed, the average size of the wells is holding up remarkable. In December tho average production of the new wells was 75J barrels each, and in January'it was 67 1-5 barrels to the well, or a dcclineof only a fraction over eight barrels. It is the Southwest, or more properly, Mc Donald, that still contains the magnet which draws the venturesome operator. Iu the upper country fields there is virtually a shut-down. In Bradford and Allegany only 9 wells were completed. Three were dry and the total new production was only 46 barrels. "' "Venango and Clarion are practically dead. In these two fields which a few years ago were the Mecca of all operators, only three wells were completed during the past month, one was dry and the new pro duction amounted to but 16 barrels. There is an increase in the number oi drilling wells in Butler and Armstrong. This is due to the Harmony and Zelienople fields which Ave been opened principally within the last 60 days, and are now being rapidly developed. McDonald Still the Center. In the recapitulation at the foot of this column will be found the,detailed work in the various districts. McDonald is not given separately but is classed in the South west aloug with Mannington, "Wildwood, Crafton, Greene County, Montour,, Brush Creek, Hookstown, Turkey-foot, "West Vir ginia, Macksburg and Marrietta. In the McDonald field alone there were 95 wells completed. Seven of thesflwere dry holes. The new production of these 95 wells amounted to 8,119 barrels, or two thirds the total production of all the fields combined. The average size of the McDon ald wells, including the dry holes, was 85 barrels or a bigger average by 18 barrels than the general average throughout all of the fields. Of the dry holes at McDonald three were on the McDonald iartn, one on the Bell, one on the Mary Robb, one on the Ewing and one on the Miller larms. At "Wildwood, which was the candle about which the operating moths fluttered only a year ago, two wells were completed. Dixon it Co.'s Fa 1 Sepky was dry and Guffey & Queen's No. 3 Kolbar was light There are at present 216 drilling wells and rigs in the Southwest, and 158 of these are located in the McDonald and McCurdy fields. There are only three wells drilling, with one rig at Wildwood; at Eureka, 7 rigs; at Mt. Morris, 11 drilling wells; at Brush Creek, 6 drilling wells; at Westview, 2 wells drilling; 2 at Murdocksville, and one each at jNineveh, Washington and iioocstown. The report shows the completion of eight gas wells throughout the various fields. "Work In the Southwest. The Southwest shows an increase in the the number of completed wells. In De cember only 121 succeeded in reaching the sand, while in January the bit punctured the rock iu 131 .places, but the new pro duction declined from 12,469 barrels in De cember to 10,754 in January, or a decrease of 1,715 barrels. The dry holes increased from 19 in December to 23 in January. There was also a decline in the number of drilling wells. In January there were only 187 started, aeainst 216 in December, a dif ference 29, while there is an increase of ten in the number of new rigs. The indications are that the results for February in Mo Donald and the Southwest will not fall far short of that for January. There are a number of wells at McDonald which should be in the sand to-day or to-morrow. Patterson & Jones' No. 3, on the Shaffer, is drilling between the fourth and fifth sands and should be in the fifth to-day. Gadey Bros'. No. 2, on the Widow Walker farm, southwest of the Wetmore well, should be on top of the fifth to-night, and Guffey & Queen's No. 1, on the Mark Robb farm, is expected in to-day. The Willow Grove Oil Company's No. 1, on the Mankedick farm is due this week. It had a showing of oil in the 50-foot sand. Patterson & Jones' No. 1, on the McGarr farm, located a mile west of the Kelso, is down 2,200 feet, and their No. 7 Kelso is Hearing the fifth sand. The Forest Oil Company's No. 1 on the Martha Wright, No. 4 Shaffer and No. 2 Ewiug are all ex pected in to-day. Lower Ohio Operations. Down at Sisters ville there are only seven wells drilling and two rigs up. Johnson & Co.'s No. 1 Pfite is down 1,800 feet; Kanawha Oil Company's No. 1 Whitney down 1,200 feet; Butchers Oil Companv's No. 1 Elliott is 800 feet; Miller's Run Oil Company's No. 1 Disk is 1,400 feet; Twitchell& Co.'s No. 1 Stewart is down 500 feet; Emery Oil Company's No. 1 Hisson is 1,100 feet, and Smith & Co.'s No. 1 Stocking is 400 feet deep. The Kanawha Oil Company has a rig up for No. 1 H. Rudolph; nnoVJ. C Tennant has finished a rig on the Talbott. farm. There are 11 rigs up around Marietta, but no dril ling wells. At Macksburg there are eight wells drilling at depths varying from 400 to 1,900 feet, and five rigs have just been com pleted. Kccapltalation. SUMMAKY OF COMPLETER WXLL8. December. January.
