Tho treas ury yesterday lost 81,050,000 in gold for export to Europe, leaving tho re ecrvo only about $l,rto0,000 above tho 8100.000,000 point. Mr. Curtis, the acting secretary, said ho had nothing to say iu regard to tho matter. Ho had no i.pecifio in formation and could not say whether the syndicate would allow tho 8100, 000,000 to bo encroached upon or not. None of the other otllcials would talk in tho absence of Secretary Carlisle. This heavy withdrawal has given rise to a report that another bond issue is impending, but there Is no one in Washington who can speak authorita tively on tho subject, or who has in formation not shared by tho public. Tho best public opinion Is that tho syndicate will not allow tho reserve to bo encroached upon until after Octo ber 1, when, as generally understood, its obligation ceases. Hut even in the event of still further withdrawals, it is believed that both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle would see tbo reserve reach a point below any that it has yet touched before thoy would tako any steps to recoup it by another salo of bonds or purchase of gold.
