STOCKS TOOK A DROP
Heavy Withdrawals of Gold
Sent Quotations Tumbling
on Wall Street.
MOnied Interests Disturbed by
RumOrs About the Bond
: Syndicate.
Banks Come to the Rescue
and a Probable Panic
Is AVerted,

NEW YORK, sept. 1O.-lG mas Deeu All
exciting day, and for a time it bid fair
to be a critical one in the financial field,
no that many feared that it might pass
into history as a smaller edition of a
certain Black Friday of years ago. But
now the disturbing elements are better
understood and the outlook for the treas
ury and the maintenance Of its gold re-
serve is comparatively small.
Uncertainty as TO the intention Of the
government bond syndicate to maintain
the reserve at the century mark and as
to its ability to do SO had disturbed the
monied interests increasingly through
out the week. A crisis was reached
during the morning when the announce
ment was made that the firm of Lazare
Freres, which is a member Of the bond
syndicate, had engaged
Two and . Half Millions Of Gold
for shipment. This announcement
naturally gave rise to the impression
that the syndicate had withdrawn from
it's controlling position behind the
throne, and it sent quotations tumbling
in Wall street, besides starting stories
that the syndicate had dissolved, that q
bond issue wal imminent and that the
treasury would fast drift back to it's old
position Of the dark days Of last winter.
Before the afternoon had passed sew
eral of the city banks had come to the
aid of the sub-treasury with deposits of
gold made in exchange for greenbacks,
explanations had been made by mem
hers Of the syndicate and the firm
which started the panic, and quiet had
been restored when the monied institu.
tons closed their doors for the day.
Past Weeks Shipments.
The known shipments to Europe for
the day are 81, 800, 600 by Lazare Freres,
81, 900, 900 by Crossman & Bro, $500, 900
by Hoskier, Wood 4 Co., $500, 600 by
Hard & Rand and 500, 600 by Nesslage
& Fuller, This makes a total for the
week of 81, 200, 900, the largest weekly
outflow on record except the 81, 200, 900
sent abroad in one week last January
when the drain upon the reserve RI ached
its highest tide.
The following statement is authorized
by the bond syndicate:
1.-The impression has become general
that the members of the bond syndicate
entered into an agreement with the
United States treasury to maintain the
$1OO, OOO, 600 reserve until Oct. ], and
that upon that date
Said Obligation Will Cease.
Such is not the case. The bond syndi-
cate fulfilled all it's obligations to the
government in June last, and has not
since been bound in any way to the
treasury. 1t is true that it has from
time to time since last June paid over
various sums in gold coin to the treas
ury, which have sutficed to. maintain
the reserve, but it has done SO volun-
tarily and will continue to do SO in the
same spirit and for the same motive.
$50 far as Oct. l is concerned, it has
no relation to the action Of the bond
syndicate, and it will continue to de-
post gold until Nov. / and Dec. l and
Jan. l, if necessary, and if existing con-
ditions make it feasible to do So"
