GOLD DELUGES NEW YORK New York, Jan. 6. (Special) Gold coin is appearing on the streets of New York in a way that makes it proper to refer to it as common. There are those who have seen simi lar brief periods when it was preva lent in a spasmodic sort of manner, as ordinary tender in trade, but it would look as if the present abudance of the yellow metal was to have something like a lasting effect upon the affairs of every-day commerce. During the Civil war, gold became common in the city, but then it was a grim ne cessity that made it so, and the re sult of a shortage of other means of exchange. In the political campaign When the silver issue was uppermost in the public mind, it was again seen, this time due to the demand that wages and the satisfaction of credit be paid in gold coin. But up to the present the conditions that cause the appearance of gold in ordinary deal ings immediately had the effect of making individuals and institutions do all they could to hoard it. Its ten dency was always to disappear from the pocket into the vault. For about the first time that the local dealer can remember it is jing ling in his till, and does not look lone some. Gold is now "offered alons Broadway for tickets to moving pic ture performances, which in itself marks a distinct period in me nis fnrv cif that husiness. and of the yel low metal. Up to this time, one vf the marked differences between ine man from the far west and the man of the east was that one was familiar with handling and using gold coin, and th other was not. Its use for Christ mo a TirASAnt.s nnd for such New Year premiums and bonuses as there were, has long been a fad, but never oeiore has it remained in street circulation in New York in such large amounts as it has at this time.
