GOLD BECOMES SCARCE.

The Amount in the Subtreasury But SIO,-
600. .OOO-Heavy Drafts Upon 1t from All
Sources Cause Failing or In the
Amount of Available Funds.
NEW YORK, July 16.-The SO, 500, 600
of gold exported from the United States
last week and the S75O,O0O Wednes-
day were taken directly from the
United States treasury vaults, drawn
from what is called the free
gold, instead of being furnished
by the banks, as the custom has been
heretofore. The United States treas
ury on July 9 held $111,o71, ,257 in gold
above the obligations represented by
the outstanding gold certificates. OF
this sum 500, 900, 600 is held by the treas
ury under the law, as reserve for the
redemption of the greenbackso or United
States notes. This leaves only SILL
071,257 of free gold. Heretofore
exports of gold have been made in this
way: The foreign bankers went to the
banks In this city, deposited legal
tenders, and obtained therefor gold cer-
tifcates for the amount of the gold re-
quired. They then presented the GER
IluCdUCSE dJ OlIC IC-
ceived gold coin for them. Although
the difficulty may be safely bridged
over, and it probably will be, the
United States is just now menaced
with serious shortage of gold. For
the first time in the history of gold ex-
ports to Europe the yellow coins have
begun to come out from the treasury
vaults and not from the banks.
BY a deliberate and premeditated
move the officers of five or six banks,
through which these shipments are
made, now refuse to give up their
boards of gold, as represented by
gold certificates, and the drain
is upon the subtreasury. But re-
Gently, under their management, the
banks have refused to give the ship
pers gold certifca tes, holding them in.
stead of greenback or United States
notes. BY the express terms of the
law United States notes or greenbacks
are payable in gold, but the treasury
notes are payable at the option of the
secretary of the treasury either in gold
or silver.
The treasury notes, however. have
been redeemed in gold without ques-
tion at the subtreasury, and the 80, 5O0,-
900 in gold shipped to Europe last week
was obtained from the subtreasury on
the presentation of greenbacks and
treasury notes, the banks holding on to
their gold certificates. If there were
no more gold coming in it would be a
question of very short time
when the supply of free gold
now in the treasury would
be exhausted and the government have
no more gold to pay out. The effect OF
such a shortage in this financial center
would be disastrous. The entire
amount of free gold in the treasury
vaults this morning is not more than
$4,000, 900. This is acknowledged in
the financial world to be an uncom-
fortably small amount. 1t is declared
that if this reserve should be wiped out
gold would at once go to a premium.
