SYNDICATE REPORTED DISSOLVED
The Prompt Action of the Banks Relieved
the Anxiety That Pervaded tho Ex
changeThe Slump In Cotton
and Drain Responsible.
New York, Sept. 14. Yesterday was nn
exciting one and for a tinio bid fair to bo
a critical ono in tho financial Hold, so that
many feared that it might pass Into his
tory as a smaller addition of a certain
Black Friday of years ago. But today tho
disturbing elements are better under
stood, and tho outlook for tho treasury
and tlio maintenance of its gold rcservo is
comparatively clear.
Uncertainty ns to tho intention of tho
government bond syndicate to maintain
tho rcservo at tho century mark and as to
their ability to do so had disturbed tho
moneyed interests increasingly through
out tho week. A crisis was reached when
tho announcement was made that tho
firm of Lazard Freros, which is a mombcr
of the bond syndicate, had engaged 12,500.
000 of gold for shipment. This announce
ment naturally gavo riso to tho impres
sion that tho syndicate had withdrawn
from its controlling position behind tho'
throno, and it sent quotations tumbling
in Wall streot, besides starting stories
that tlio syndicato had dissolved, that a
bond issue was Imminent and that tho
treasury would fast drift back to its old
position of tho dark days of last winter.
Boforo tho nfternoon had passed several
of tho olty banks had como to tho nid of
tho sub-treasury with deposits of gold
niado In oxchanfto for greenbacks, explana
tions had been mado by mombers of tho
syndicato and tho Arm which started tho
panic, and quiet had been restored when
the moneyed institutions closed tholr doors
for tho day.
Tho gold deposits mada by tho banks
will offset the shipments of today.
Tho Hanover National bank set tho ex
ample with a deposit of $500,000. That
mado $3,100,000 in gold that tho Hanover
bank has paid in, President Howard said,
since tho last loan was made. The Amer
ican National bank also paid into tho
treasury $200,000 and tho National Bank of
Conimorco followed suit with another
$200,000. With rofcrenco to tills deposit,
President Sherman said that tho 5200,000
represented ono-third of his bank's gold
holdings, and that if all tho bunks contrib
uted gold In tho samo . proportion thoro
would bo no further difficulty.
The National City bank is credited with
au Intention to deposit a half million, or
double that amount. It is expocted in
banking circles that the deposits of gold
by tho banks for greenbacks will reach
$0,000,000 this week.
The known shipments to Europo today
Will bo: $2,500,000 by Lazard Frores, $1,
000,000 by William H. Crossman & Bro.,
$500,000 by Hoskier, AVood & Co., $200,000
by Hart & Rand, and $100,000 by Hosslago
& Fuller, while Handy & Harman will
forward between $150,000 and $200,000.
This will mako a total for tho week of
$7,200,000, tho largest weekly outflow on
record, except the $7,700,000 sent abroad in
ono week last January, when tho drain
upon the reserve readied its highest tido.
Explanations of tho position of tho bond
syndicato toward the treasury and of tho
roosons impolling Lazard Frcrcs to combat
tho policy of his colleagues, wero secured
by tho Associated Press. Tho following
statement was authorized by tho bond
syndicato.
"Tho impression has become general
that the members of tho bond syndicate
entered Into nn agreement with tho United
States treasury to maintain tho $100,000,-
000 reserve until Oct. 1 prox., and that
upon that date said obligation will ceaso.
Suoh Is not tho caso.
"Tho bond syndicato fulfilled all its ob
ligations to the government in June last,
and has not sinco been bound in any way
to tho treasury. It is true that it has from
tlmetotimo sinco Inst Juno paid over vari
ous sums in gold coin to tho treasury,
which huvo Hufllcod to maintain tho re
serve, but it has dono so voluntarily and
will coutlnuo so to do in tho samo Spirit
and for tho samo motive
"So far as Oct. 1 is concerned it has no
relation to tlio action of tho bond syn
dicate, and it will contiuuo to deposit gold
until Nov. 1 and Deo. 1, and Jan. 1 if
necessary, and if existing conditions mako
it feasible to do so. But neither tho bond
syndicate nor any one elso can control tho
elements. But tho idea that Its relations
to tho treasury situation will bo any differ
ent on or after Oct. 1 from what thoy aro
now and havo boon all along, is erroneous
and should bo corrected."

AN IMMENSE QUANTITY OF COAL I
The Course of the Local P. & R. R. R.
Branch to be Changed so as to Leave
the Deposit Free to Operations
In the Kohinoor Colliery
Tlio coal resources of the Philadelphia &
Beading Coal & Iron Company are apparently
almost inexhaustible in some places, and that
scorns to bo tho caso with tlio Kohinoor col
liery at tho western limits of tho borough.
This mino has been so incessantly worked for
many years that immenso caverns yawn
where great beds of coal onco rested, and aro
so numerous that ono inspecting tlio work
ings is impelled to bclievo that but littlo coal
remains in tho mine, but such is by no means
tlio case.
Itecent surveys and explorations by repre
sentatives of both tlio P. & K. coal and rail
road companies havo resulted in plans that
will renew tho vigor of operations at this
colliery for several years.
One of tlio results of tho recent calcula
tions is a decision to temporarily change the
course of tho P. & K. railroad between the
turnpike leading to Win, Penn and tho cross
ing at tlio lower end of Main street. No
announcement is mado as to when the
change will tako place, but it will bo made
in tho near future. Tho trains will leave
tho main lino at a point a littlo cast of tho
Win. Penn tumpiko and follow tho track
leading to tlio Turkey Bun breaker, but will
turn at and pass along the south sido of tlio
dirt banks. They will strike tlio main line
again near tho switch at tho Centennial col
liery and proceed over tho regular route to
the depot.
Immediately after the chango of this route
is accomplished tlio army of workmen em
ployed in the Kohinoor colliery will begin
work on the bed of coal that lies under tlio
track now used by tlio railroad company.
Tho deposit of coal is said to bo immenso ami
the estimates vary from ono to two million
tons. This will undoubtedly revive opera
tions considerably at Kohinoor and keep up
her record for big productions of the best
anthracite that is placed on tlio- market.
