GOLD RESERVE DWINDLlNG AGA
Is Only Three Millions Above the Hun,
dred.Mi!lion Mark.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The treasury
today lost s1,65O,000 in gold for export
to Europe leaving the reserve only
about 100000 above the S100, 900
point. The telegram which announced
the withdrawal reached the department
just as it was closing at o'clock, and
gave no information as to the name
Of the exporter or the exact destination
Of the shipment. Mr. Curtis, the acting
secretary, said he had no specific infor-
nation and could not say whether the
syndicate would allow the $100, 900
to be encroached upon or not. None
Of the other officials would talk in the
absence of Secretary Carlisle This
heavy withdrawal has given rise to a
report that another bond issue Is i'm
pending, but there Is now no one in
Washington who can speak authorita-
lively on the subject, or who has in
formation not shared by the public.
The best public opinion Is that the
syndicate will not allow the reserve to
be encroached upon until after October
l, when, as generally understood, their
obligations cease. But even in the
event of still further withdrawals it
IS believed that both Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle would see the reserve
reach point below any that it has yet
touched before they would take any
steps to recoup it by another sale Of
bonds or purchase Of gold. It is az
gued that the meeting Of congress is
now only IA weeks off, and without any
reasonabl doubt the treasury, with an
available cash balance Of nearly $1S4
00O,00O. and revenues increasing, can
meet its obligations and have com
Portable balance remaining at the close
of the calendar year. The best judg-
ment obtainable here is that there will
be no bond issue or extra session Of
congress except in the event Of con-
tinued heavy Withdrawals, which are
not now looked for.
