New York, Novl 11. A a result of
the recent visit to New York of Becre
tary Carlisle and his subsequent confer
ence with the bankers, a plan has been
perfected to Increase the fl00,0tM),tXX)
surplus gold lu tbe treasury, which bas
been reduced to $85,000,000. Tbe
hanks, which do business with Impor
tant importers, keep special deposits at
the sub-lreasdry to cover check of cus
tom duties, which must be paid lu
cash. The Importer having duties to
pay takes a certified check to the cus
tom house. At tbe end of tbe day It
goes with other custom receipts to the
sub-treasury where It Is deducted from
tlie depoeit of the bank upon which it
I drawn. Custom duties may be paid
In sny kind of money, except national
bank note. Tlie proportion of gold
has not averaged over one per cent.
The largest payments have been made
In treasury notes, the notes Issued by
(lie government In payment for silver
bullion. The banks will hereafter In
crease the proportion of gold In their
deposit at the sub-treasury. The asso
ciate banks of New York have about
$00,000,000 In gold.
