WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 2.-Treas-
ury officials were surprised this after

for export. The amount exceeds 5000, o.

This withdrawal does not appear in the

transaction. According 10 the official
figures, issued at o'clock this afternoon.
the reserve stands at sl07 l6G 2z7. loss

retary Curtis says the withdrawal indi-
Gates nothing more than desire on the
part OF the American importers 10 pay

stoned by the liquidation of foreign ac-
counts.
The shipping Of gold to the Montreal
Bank Is not. says the Secretary. an un-
usual occurrence. That bank has large
credits in New York, and this call for
gold is. he thinks. on account OF de-
mand for settlement. Assistant Secreta-
ry Curtis scouts at the idea OF any at
