PLENTY OF GOLD ON HAND.
New York Banks Well Prepared to Meet
Any Moderate Demand.


Any Moderate Demand.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Some doubt
was expressed Saturday as to whether
there will be any gold shipped abroad
next Tuesday owing to the fact that
at the current rates of exchange it is
difficult to see profit in the transac-
ton.
Gold exports are not regarded with
any trcpidation in view of the fact
that the local banks hold SlO4, 900, 900
IN gold, of which $4,000, 900 are in
coin. 1t is held that $50, 900, 900 might
be taken from the banks without the
drain being felt and it is believed
that they would be willing to furnish
that amount before compelling q re-
course to the sub treasury.

THANKS TO Mr.. CLEVELAND.
Chamber of Commerce Appreciates
Passage Of Silver Repeal.
Refused to Ipdorse the North River
Bridge Bill.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce. this afternoon,
the report of the Commute on Harbor
and Shipping, in regard to the Hudson
River Bridge, was the principal subject
of discussion.
The report was presented by James
presented to Congress. HI committee
said that the care heretofore evinced by
the eminent Board of United States
Engineers in laying down the harbor
lines and limits, warranted the conclu-
sion that the entire matter might be
safely left where it now is. both by ex-
listing law and the bill in question.
President j. Edward Simmons, of the
Fourth National Bank. objected to the
report on the ground that the bill did
not specify the location of piers that
might be erected and which might in
~terfere with commerce and shipping.
He thought the Chamber should not
commit itself as favoring the bill in its
existing form.
He therefore moved to refer the re-
port back to the Committee with in
structions to have both the report and
the bill now before Congress printed,
and to report further at the next meet
Ing of the Chamber.
A report was also received from the
special committee appointed last July
to consider the silver question and urge
the repeal of the Sherman act.
A resolution vas adopted expressing
the opinion of the Chambers that the
thanks OF the entire country were due
to the President and members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
who gave their ~unwavering support to
sound money principles.
Anothe resolution was offered and
adopted that the special committee on
quarantine be authorized to cooperate
with the National Quarantine Commits
tee. of the New York Academy OF Med
icine in its efforts to secure efficient
legislation from Congress with refe-
renee to the establishment of a perma-
nent health organization under the Ma
