MORE GOLD TAKEN.
OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS
IN GOLD WITHDRAWN.
Fears are Freely Expressed of Very
Heavy Withdrawals During the
Month of january.

Washington. Jan. THE treasury
today lost Sel6s,0OO in gold bars. and
Sl,O9G,O0O in gold coin. and received
from the Mercantile National bank of
New York. 100000 In exchange for
currency. making the loss for the day
$2,1590Oo. This leaves the true amount
OF the reserve at the close OF bust
ness S5s.J2G,7l0.
In financial circles here the fear Is
expressed that today's heavy with
drawals are but the beginning OF
heavy expectations. 1t is recalled that
during last January the Withdrawals
amounted TO about $40 ,0O0, 900, OF which
3SO.0O0,O00 were withdrawn within two
weeks and over $1,000, 600 in one day.
The fact that thirty days must elapse
before the new bond issue can be
closed and contracts awarded, seem TO
add to the anxiety heretofore felt. and
In some quarters the opinion Is eX-
pressed that before the first of Feb
ruary arrives the gold reserve Will
have been reduced considerably below
any point II has reached hitherto.
New York. Jan. 7,-Considerable In
