Extract from a letter accompanying the above estimates, from
the Director of the Mint.

"Compared with the estimates of the past and previous
years, the present will be found considerably to exceed
them in amount. This arises from the necessity of re-
newing some expensive parts of the machinery, and
making provision in other respects to meet a heavier de-
mand for coinage than has heretofore been experienced.
That such a demand will occur during the ensuing year,
is probable from the recent increase of deposites, and the
opinion of those possessing the best means of informa-
tion on the subject."
