SETTLEMENTS IN GOLD.
The New York Importing Houses
AWiIl Not Demand Them.

NEW YORK. July 10.-At the Office of
w. III. Schiffiin 81 Co., drug importers, it
was said to-day, in response to the pro-
tests Of druggists against the firm demand
ing payment for imported drugs in gold,
that it was the firms idea that importers
generally would adopt this line of action.
This, however. is not borne out by inves-
tigatlon. All branches of trade in the city
appear to regard such action as unneces-
sary and unwise, in that 1t might tend to
place gold at premium and destroy con-
fidence.
The Clearinghouse issued to-day $3.50. 600
worth OF loan certificates. The largest
banks in Wall street report slight demapd
for currency from the West, counter
balanced, however. by return of cur
rency to New York. Five principal banks
report that merchants are taking care Of
their paper and not asking for extension
Generally speaking. the presidents of
banks regard tho situation as improved.
Banks report scarcity Of bills as the
result of the recent heavy shipments to
interior points and the Withdrawals of saw
ings institutions.
A prominent Wall-street banker said !:
SIN business circles there is no distrust or
anticipation of gold reaching a premium.
Some foreign individuals are asking to
have gold clause inserted in all con-
tracts. They ask that dividends and in
terests be obtained for them in gold. But
the business houses here and abroad are
satisfied with the usual course" The
banker added that he found in renewing
bonds and mortgages some people asked
to have a condition inserted to make the
payments due in gold.
