The Most Serious Fear.
The most serious fear which is enter
tanned by sErewd tinaHcers in the admin
is:ration is not so much the reduction of
the gold reserve by early foreign shipments
as its reduction by persons VINO have
already paid in the gold for their bonds,
but who obtained il Of banks and brok
ers who intend 10 replerish their gold
funds. Some of the gold WIGS obtained in
this way upon contracts s.ipulaling for its
return within thirty or sixty days and ii
Is feared that some OF these returns will
be made from the treasury. If all the re-
manin:, payments should be made in this
way, the gold reserve would fall to about
Sl07,Uw.NW and the number of legal ten
der notes locked up in the treasury would
increase ley that amount The gold reserve
as it stands, at about Si2fMsi.'sh'. lS larger
