WAsHiN TON, Aug. 2i.-The gold syn
dicate yesterday prevented the gold re-
serve from falling below the sioO,ooo,o0o
mark. About 2 o'clock the treasury de-
partment was Informed that g., $4,000 In
gold had been withdrawn for export from
the sub-treasury In New York. As the
gold reserve at the close of business yes
tcrday stood at $l02, ,527 l4s, the with
drawals would have reduced the reserve
10 99,677, ,l4s. A few minutss afterward,
however Acting Secretary Curtis received
telegram saying that Pierpont Morgan
Of the syndicate had deposited S2OOO,OOO In
gold in exchange for greenbacks. This
deposit swelled the reserve 10 sl0l, ,677, las.
The officials at the department display
no apprehension as to the gold reserve,
and intimate that the syndicate will con-
tinuc TO make deposits to Offset with
drawals, but they decline TO express their
reasons for their faith, and the question
raised constantly Is as TO the pledge under
which the syndicate is making those de-
posits and the period II covers, as well as
the ability Of the syndicate to continue to
protect the reserve.
But little light can be shed on these
questions, however, as IL is said that prob
ably only two government officials-Pres-
ident Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
know the unwritten part OF the agree
mept made with the syndicate which Sc
cured the last issue Of bonds. The syndi-
cate has so far voluntarily
Deposited About ss,00O,O0O In Gold.
The manner in which the syndicate has ac-
cumulated the gold which it has voluntar-
lily exchanged at the treasury for green
backs is not absolutely known, as the syn
dicate does not make public its opera
tions, but at the treasury department it
is believed that most OF IL Is obtained by
giving exchange on San Francisco and
buying bullion checks.
The circulation in San Francisco Is
practically all gold. The movement Of
money is east, as n result OF which San
Francisco exchange in New York is usu-
ally a. premium equal to the trans.
portation of gold across she continent.
For the same reason New York exchanges
on San Francisco Is at n slight discount,
although just now IL is az par.
BY Offering exchange on San Francisco,
therefore, the syndicate can accumulate
large quantities of gold in San Francisco
at practically no expense. The syndicate
can also procure gold by buying bullion
checks issued for bullion deposited at the
assay Office and the government mints.
These at the present time, when there is u
demand for gold, bring slight premium.
1t is not believed, however, that tho
syndicate is put TO much expense in ac-
cumulating in this fashion practically the
entire product of the American gold
mines.
