Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury William f.
Curtis came to New-York yesterday. and. though
official Information was given out as to the pur-
OF his visit. II Is believed that he was sent
here by Secretary Carlisle TO confer with New
York bankers regarding the condition Of the Treas
ury and a proposed bond Issue The latest report
in regard TO a Government loan was that an issue
OF slOoOOO.O0O bonds would be made on Saturday,
and that a foreign syndicate had already been
formed u subscribe for s50O.0c0 Of the issue. 1t
was reported yesterday that August Belmont was
at the head OF the syndicate but this was not con-
frmed at Mr. Belmonts banking house. Mr. Curtis
did not visit the Sub-Treasury yesterday but it was
reported that he met several bankers uptown. and
that to-day he would be in Wall Street.
II was also reported in Wall Street yesterday
that Secretary Carlisle would be in New-York to-
day. and that Assistant Treasurer Conrad n. Jor-
dan would arrange conference of bankers similar
10 the one held at the Sub-Treasury one year ago
No official information had been received at the
% Sub-Treasury yesterday from Washington. and
nothing was known TO the intentions Of the
Treasury Department in regard to calling upon the
New-York bankers for advice and help. The bank

scarcity Of bills, makes the export OF gold the only
remittance possible. The god withdrawn from the
Sub-Treasuty yesterday amounted to 49, 900 max
ing the total for the week so far over sloOoO.OoO

siderabl talk In Wall Street OF demand for Gals
god running for sixty or ninety days, and 1t
was reported that some transactions had been ef-
fected at Y per cent TO q cent The vo.urne OF
business OF this character was very small, however
and with the reduction Of the price of gold bars
from u per cent lilo of per cent the buying of
calls on gold in expectation OF a premium would
NOT be profitable. Several OF the banks have con-
sidered the idea OF opening special accounts for
god deposits but as IL requires resembling OF a
clearing House rule to do that. there does not
TO be much prospect Of such action. Some Of the
hanks have had requests from their out-of-town
Correspondents to have gold shipped to them and
manufacturers OF gold have beer buying up more
god than they need on account OF the fear OF gold
gong a premium :. -,
