KEEPS IT'S WORD.
GOLD SYNDICATE PREVENTS THE
RESERVE FROM FALLING.
Reason to Believe That the Syndi-
cate Will Continue to Make Such
Deposits as VIII Offset Any With
drawals.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The gold
syndicate today prevented the gold re-
serve from falling below the 800, 100000
mark About . o'clock the treasury
department was informed that $780,
600 in gold had been withdrawn for
export from the sub-treasury in New
York. AS the gold reserve at the close
of business today stood at STOP, 527, 146,
the withdrawal would have reduced
the reserve to s99.677.14S. a few min
utes afterward, however, Acting Sec
rotary Curtis received a telegram say
ing that Mr. Pierpont Morgan of the
syndicate had deposited 100000 in
gold in exchange for greenbacks. This
deposit swelled the reserve to S101,-
ST., las.
The officials at the department dis
play no apprehension as to the gold
reserve, and intimate that the syndi-
cate will continue to make deposits to
offset Withdrawals. But they decline
to express their reasons for their faith
and the question raised constantly is
as to the pledge under which the syn
dictate is making these deposits, and
the period covered, as well as the abil-
ity of the syndicate to continue to pro-
tect the reserve. But little light can
be shed on the questions, however, as
it is said that probably only two gov
eminent officials, President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle, know the I'M
written part Of the agreement made
with the syndicate which secured the
last issue of bonds. The syndicate has
so far voluntarily deposited about
IS, 000, 600 in gold.
The manner in which the syndicate
has accumulated the gold which it has
voluntarily exchanged at the treasury
for greenbacks is not absolutely
known. The syndicate does not make
public its operations, but at the treas
ury it is believed the most of it is
obtained by giving exchange on San
Francisco and by buying bullion
checks. The circulation in San Fran
cisco is practically all gold. The move
ment of money is east, as result of
which San Francisco exchange in New
York is usually at a premium equal to
the cost of transportation of gold
across the continent. For the same
reason New York exchange on San
Francisco is often at a slight discount,
although just now 1t is at par. By,
offering exchange on San Francisco,
therefore, the syndicate can accumu-
late 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 Offices
and the government minis. These at
the present time, when there is de-
mand for gold, bring a slight premium
