BANKERS FEEL EASIER.
And One in San Francisco Makes a
Profitable Turn.


NEW YORK, April 22-Naturally enough.
in view Of the continued heavy exports of
gold to Europe and the uncertainty as to
the treasury policy. Wall street to-day
concerned itself almost entirely with va!i-
GUS rumors in circulation in regard
TO the attitude of the New York banks
toward the Government. The sum of
100000 in gold was paid into the
Sub-Treasury in New York to-day. and
there were Withdrawals aggregating
S1,100,0 600. It was reported from Washing
ton late in the day that Secretary Carlisle
had received tenders OF $4,000 coo in gold,
thus lifting the treasury reserve once more
above the S100O000OO mark. The Secretary
refused to announce the names Of the banks
which rendered the geld.
The most important event OF the day was
the long conference held between the bank
presidents and Assistant Treasurer Conrad
n Jordan AT the meeting the financial
situation was thoroughly discussed and it
was decided that the parity of gold aud
silver must be maintained and that the
Government must meet its obligations in
gold at any cost. 1t was practically decided
among the bankers that they would advance
more gold to the treasury without invita-
tiOn, but that they would not furnish a large
am nOunL without a DOlU ISSUE
Secretary Carlisle recently received an
offer Of a deposit of gold in the Sub-Treas-
ury at San Francisco, which he accepted.
The gold was turned in. and the payment
for it to the correspondent in New Y York
of the depositor was authorized by te E.
graph. The correspondent appeared at the
Sub Treasury here sad received greenbacks,
which be returned the next day, when he
demanded gold for them, Thus a transfer
of gold was made from San Francisco to
New York. with the saving Of freight and five
days interest, and the patriotic offer Of
gold was turned into a transaction for
profit.
A calmer air pervaded the Sub Treasury
and the neighborhood this forenoon. The
positive knowledge that the Government
had met all the demands for gold yesterday,
that there had been no discrimination be-
tween treasury notes and greenbacks, and
the apparently firm belief that that course
had been adopted in pursuance of the pol
icy Of The Government to maintain parity
between gold and silver evidently had a
soothing effect. and there was good deal
less sensational talk around than yester-
day.
AT 1870 o'clock it was said by Muhlemann
that 100000 in gold had been ordered TO-
day. As an offset. however, it is known
that 100000 in gold was going to be sent
to the Sub-Treasury to-day.
There were also rumors that some of the
gold taken yesterday might be returned on
Monday if the situation should still further
improve.
Estimates place the shipments OF gold by
next Tuesdays steamer at 100000. Hell
delbach, Lekelheimer & Co. have ordered
$4,000, and Lajenburgh, ThaIman & Co.
will ship S50O,O0O on the day named

The Wall-street Journals Washington
special says: Carlisle has not resigned and
there is no probability of his doing so, not
withsianding many of his friends here
think he ought.
