 Treasury.
LOCKWOOD CHANGES HANDS
A Famous Home on the Block. Judge Kicks May Not Hold
 His Appointm ent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The treasury gold reserve was reduced by today's with drawals to s70, TIP. 126. The second bond issue raised the go Id reserve to S11l ,000, 900. Since November 22, when the gold from the second issue began to be received, the treasury has lost more than $40, ,000, 900 in gold received from that issue, which netted with premium about $5f 900, ,000. No seri- ous talk of third bond issue is heard now in official circles, and none is believed to be imminent. The general condition of the treasury now is better than at the date of either of the other issues, as is shown by these figures:
 First call for bonds, January r, 1894. net gold s65, ,0o0, ,00O, net treasury balances SS3,- GOO, ,000.
 Second call for bonds, November 13, net gold s59 900 ,000, net treasury balance S107,- O00, ,000
 The treasury condition, with the inter- est payments, which are still carried as assets, taken out, as they will be on Feb ruary l, stands today: Net gold, S70, 7l2, 126; net treasury balance, s142, CAP ,o0o
 In all three cases, as given, the treasury net balance includes the gold reserve. The lowest point ever touched by the gold re- serve was on August7, 1891, when it stood at s52, 189, 800.
