Things Quiet During the morntnE-Notes
on the Situation.
NEW YORK. April ga calmer air per-
vaded the sub-treasury and its neigh6or-
hood this forenoon, the positive knowl-
edge that the government had made no
discrimination between treasury notes and
greeub backs and the apparently firm belief
that that course had been adopted IN
obedience TO the wish Of President Cleve-
land in pursuance of the fixed policy Of the
government to maintain the parity between
gold and silver, evidently had
soothing effect, and there was
"a good deal less sensational
talk around than there was yesterday.
This was also Of course, partly due 10 the
fact that gold is not as a rule drawn on
Saturdays for shipment, although there
was an exception even 10 that rule to-day.
At half-past 10 O'Clock it was said by Mr..
Muhlemann, that $780, 900 gold had been
ordered to-day. AS an Offset to this, how
ever, il was said that it was known that
100000 in gold was going 10 be sent into
the sub-treasury to-day. There were also
rumors that some Of the gold taken yester-
day might be returned to the Treasury on
Monday if the situation should be further
improved The actual condition Of the
United States Treasury could not be ac-
curatelv stated here this morning bebause
10 was not known how much had been paid
out or received at other sub-treasuries.
Conrad n. Jordan, the new assistant
treasurer, was not expected at the sub
treasury building until later in the day.
His bond has been Improved Of, but he did
not take charge until after the close OF
business. He will hold an informal recep-
tiOn this afternoon. Estimates place the
shipments Of gold by next Tuesdays steam
ers at $500, 600. Heidelbach, Ikelhnimer
x Co, as already stated, have ordered
$3.50. GOO gold at the sub-treasury, and have
paid fO~ il in gTeenbacks and 100000 in
treasury notes; Landenburg, Thalman &
Co viii ship $500, 900 on the day named.
This is all that has been positively engaged
thus far.
The most important event Of the day was
a long conference between the bank presi-
dents and Assistant Treasurer Conrad n.
Jordan, at the Clearing house this after
noon. The meeting lasted two hours AT
ter IL was over, IL was learned
from one who was present that
Henry w. Cannon, President of the
Chase National Bank, had had a confer
ence with Mr.. Jordan last night, and had
gone 70 Washington as an emissary from
the bankers here 70 President Cleveland.
This morning Assistant Treasurer Jordan
issued invitations 70 anumber of presidents
to meet him at the clearing house at 2
O'clock.
AT the meeting the financial situation
was thoroughly discussed, and it was de-
cided that the parity Of gold and silver
must be maintained and that the Govern
ment must meet its obligations in gold at
any cost.
1t was practically decided among the
bankers that they would advance no more
gold 70 the treasury without an invitation,
and even then, not large amount with
out a bond issue.
Mr.. Carlisle will be here on Tuesday or
Wednesday TO participate in the naval
conference with hnanciers; at least this is
the programme mapped out by New Y ork
