Feb. t-The Evenlr.p Post publi.hea an Interview with President Cleveland regarding the bond Issue, In which he say a: "From such Information as comes to nie from various private sources 1 am convinced that more small holdings ot gold will bo drawn Into the treasury by the present arrangement than appear on the aurface. Small country banks, for In atance, which are buying bond, for their cuatomers. have made their bids through their New York and llosdon correspond ents and this gives the loan the appear nnce of having been taken up by big .'"hoUKh a. a m.lter of fact not a IH-e of It will ultimately come from nanclal Inatltutlona at the money cen- smull Investors." The aubject of the syndicate contract tf February, ISWi, having been mentioned, Mr. Cleveland remarked that he had never had reason to question the wisdom of that arrangement under the conditions then existing. "That contract," he added, "helped us out at a time when forty-eight hours' de lay might have produced serious results. My preference would have been to have had the present loan more popular than It appears on its face, but we have done the best we could. People who hoard small savings of gold, or the equivalent of gold, are unaccustomed to transacting business on the basis on which those bonds had to be Issued : they are unused to premiums or to the formalities of making bids. If we could have sold them l-per-cent gold bonds at pur, I think It would have brought out a good deal of this gold: but the only bonds the Inw allows us to Issue have to he sold con siderably above par In order to keep the rate of lntrest within a reasonable limit." Washington. Feb. 6.-The treasury to. day lewt 31,073,800 In gold coin and JlO.too in bars, leaving the true amount of the reserve at I45.29S.779. Notwithstanding the success of the new loan, fears are entertained that a considerable share of th. gold offered In payment will have been withdrawn from the treasury for that purpose. In anticipation of the loan, the gold withdrawn from the treas ury during the month from January to February 5, amounted to 37.3t!r4", which added to today'a withdrawals, makes an aggregate of about IS.SOO.OOO. The magnitude of the subscriptions to the loan, which amounted to over t"."S,. OiiO.OOO. calls attention to the fact that the total amount of gold coin and gold certificates In circulation In the United State Is leas than irAXOoO.OuO and the nat ural Inference is that a great number ot bidders must have depended upon getting their supply from the treasury or outside sources. What will be the result upen the reserve la a matter ot grave con cern.

James 8mith Haa Devoted Fifteen Years of Hie Life to a Strange Charity. N. Y. Herald. In Scott's novel. "Old Mortality." the principal character, from which the book takea Its name, spends hla life traveling through the country caring for the tomb stone of the Covenanter. A somewhat similar character haa been discovered in New York, with the difference that his life is devoted to alleviating aa much as he can, in his humble way, the sufferings of the sick in hospitals. His name Is Jamea Smith, and for fif teen years he haa been pushing hla work. newspaper ami ueposuing mem in ine big red box placed for that purpose by the Associated Hospital, at the comer ot Vessey street and Broadway. Attention haa been directed to Smith's work at laat by the carelessness of the persona whose duty It is to empty the box and distribute the literature among the hospitals. No collections had been made for nearly a week, and yesterday the box waa filled to overflowing, and newspapers, magaslnea and periodicals were piled on it to the top of St. Paul's churchyard railing, and around It on the ground, mucn to the inconvenience ot pedestrians. Smith, nevertheless, added his dally contribution to the pile, and will, no doubt, go on doing so, as he has for fifteen years, whether the hospital attendants carried the papers away or not. Smith's field of operation is the Post- office building. He make a tour ot it every afternoon and collects papers and periodicals from the clerks and officials. The attendants all know him and aid him by saving for him all the newspapers thrown away In the corridors of the building. There Is a big basket standing In th. Park row corner which is known as "Smith's basket," and it Is dally filled by the attendants. The special policemen guard the basket as Jealously aa if tt were a receptacle for the malls, and every afternoon Smith comes and bundles up Its contents and carries the papers over to the church yard corner, where he deposits them. Me Is a little old man, bowed with the weight of 65 years, and he wear an old fashioned "County Antrim" chin whis ker. Ho dresses like a respectable la borer. Such, In fact, he was when he came to this country In his youth. It Is said that when he was a young man he met with on accident while at wnric and wfl confined tn a months. Then he learned the loneliness of the hosnital, and when, fifteen years ago, he inherited a small annuity froi.i relatives in Ireland, he determined to de- vote hla life to making brighter the days and hours of those whose homes are in the hospitals. Smith lives In a little room in a cheap Bowery lodging house. He cooks his own meals on an oil stove, and does no other work hut to mnke his dallv tour of the Postofllce building. The attendants say that he has never missed a day In their recollection. - Smith's income, he says, though small, la enough to support him In comfort. His tastes In food and clothes are modest, and he has no relatives to whom to leave hla money. THE MARKETS. Liverpool.
