TREASURY GOLD RESERVE.

WASHINGTON. June 5.-Since January
LIST the Treasury Department has lost
within $1,000 coo as much gold as It gained
by the sale OF bonds TO the Belmont-Mor-
gan syndicate. The gold lost-s55 $4,000
was paid out In the redemption OF United
States notes and Treasury notes, and most
OF these notes. at least seven eighths,
have been presented for redemption at
New York city.
on February sth the agreement with the
Belmont Morgan syndicate went into ef-
feet and by its terms the syndicate
agreed to protect the Treasury gold as
much as possible. or the N5,l62,0OO lost
since January lst but 100000 are charge
able between February sth and June LIST.
During the month Of May the gold with
drawn for redemption purposes aggre-
gated 100000. or at the rate of about
$4,000 day. For the first two days of
June the Withdrawals amounted TO SlOl,-
600.
These figures show. in the opinion OF
the Treasury officials, that the Belmont
Morgan syndicate is using all legitimate
efforts 10 protect the Treasury gold, but
they also show that more gold Is bein,
withdrawn than Is required for ordinary
business purposes The syndicate has now
fulfilled it, contract within S.WcVoO, ana

Judging from the past. the gold with
drawals will be much heavier than Tor
the past four months, and Will materially
weaken the gold reserve.
Aside from the gold secured from the
syndicate during the past four months,
the Treasury has had several other
sources OF supply. The gold received from
customs duties has been light-not aggre-
eating one tenth of per cent. From orig
