Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle
Has Found Gold.
There Is More of the Precious Metal
in Chicago Than in New
York.
Special TO THE MoRNINe CALL.

WA saINGToN, April 29.-No better indi:
cations o restored confidence in the finan-
cial situation is necessary than the fact that
no gold exports were made from New York
to-day, and it does no! appear now that any
large amount will go ont OH Tuesday, and
perhaps none at all.
The plain statement made to New York
bankers by Secretary Carlisle appears to
have allayed the apprehension that has
been exhibited. and gold offers continue to
be made. All of these offers are being ac-
ceped. The books OF the department show
only $685. of free gold, although Secretary
Carlisle could utilize probably s. 900, 600
offered, but not yet formally transferred.
The statement of Secretary Carlisle that
every effort of the administration would
be exerted in the direction of the repeal of
the Sherman silver law" is regarded here
as an ant'-silver edci, and the free silver
advocates assert that they are ready for bat
tie. Everything therefore promises a lively
flht in The next Congress.
''As matter of fact there is less gold In
the national banks of New York than in
Chicago, and the gold center is west of the
Alleghanies," remarked a prominent treas
ury official to-day. Carlisle is now in
Chicago, where gold is really plentiful, and
will hold conferences with the leading
bankers there. The reports from all the
national banks as to the amount of gold on
hand. on March last, as between New
York and Chicago, show the amount OF gold
held to be in New York S12, 43S, co.. and iu
Chicago Sl4,824 $50"
This brings out the important fact that
the demands which were made by the New
York bankers during the recent crisis were
largely in the nature of bulls" as between
the West and the East the former has
S54,000,C00 of gad in its national banks
while the East has only $50 0O00 900.

most general favorite.
Many of the visitors took propitiatory

open arms. The visitors of the gentle sex
