The oil world was again startled yes-
terday morning when IL was discovered
at the opening Of the market that the
price OF credit balances for Pennsylvania
crude had taken another slide down the
toboggan and that Il was only one cent
above the dollar mark. This makes n
total drop OF nineteen cents In the price
of Pennsylvania crude petroleum since
the middle OF October and that Is going
down pretty rapidly when there Is no
apparent reason why It should do so.
The falling Of the price to such n low flg-
ure. the lowest Il has been for several
years, will probably have the effect Of

PAYING FOR BONDS
Nearly 100000 Deposited at
New York Sub-Treasury.
GOLD RECEIVED FOR EXAMINATION
Explanation of tho Story Regarding the
Rejection of Certain Deposits-The
Treasury Not an Annex for
Bullion Brokers' Office.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE deposits OF
gold in the sub-treasury up to this
morning in payment for bonds amount
to SS,749, 524. 10. In addition considera-
BILE gold has been deposited for examin-
alton. The report that the ub-treasury
had rejected gold arose in this way:
For some time past bullion broker on
Wall street has been turning in legal
tenders for gold and selling the gold at
premium. Yesterday afternoon he
presented $s0o,OoO in legal tenders and
withdrew the same amount of gold
Five hundred thousand dollars were
Immediately turned into the bond de-
partment. On the second transaction
of $500, 900 he secured the gold in bags
and gave it to the clerks of the firms
who had subscribed for the As, and
who had accompanied him to the sub
treasury. 1t was then that Assistant
Treasurer Jordan objected to having
the sub-treasury used as an annex to a
bullion brokers' office. The dealer in
question made charges of favoritism
against Mr.. Jordan, but the pith of his
argument lies in the fact that he did
not care to cart the gold from the sub
treasury and then bring it back Prob
ably such course would reduce the
insignificant profit he secures by sell
ing government gold drawn out through
the agency of legal tenders.
