1248 - L. Jan. 15; ed: 2/1 - The Democratic members of Congress have a cun-
ning way of playing for the favor of the soldiers. Hon. James Brooks
of New York wants to pay the soldiers in coin because the U. S. ministers
abroad are paid in coin. It is impossible at present to sell drafts in
Europe, payable in anything but U. S. coin.
"Come, gentlemen Brooks, Cox, Wood & Co., show your honesty by bringing
greenbacks to a specie basis. You can very easily do it. Show us your
patriotism." - (11)

1250 - L. Mar. 31:4/5 - The course of gold continues downward, having fal-
len in New York but later rallying. As a result, the market here is very
flat, closing quietly and spirit lessly. The market leay remain at this point
for several days, but it must inevitably fall.
The treasury department plan for supplying gold to importers is per-
fected and in operation. Each morning J. J. Cisco, assistant secretary -
of the treasury, will name a price (which shall be 1/4 per cent below the
current market value of gold) for which he will issue merchandise certi-
ficates.
An important feature in it is that importers will not be restricted,
in the purchase of the certificates, to their daily and weekly wants; but
if apprehensive to future rise in gold, they can provide themselves with
a sufficient sum for months ahead to pay their duties.
Another influence in the decline of gold is the dividend in gold of
$3,000,000 on the seven 20 per cents to be paid out of the treasury to-
In Orr OW. (5)

1251 - L Apr. 1:4/5 - By some means, the gold market in New York was
pushed to an advance of 2-3/4 per cent at closing, which made the market
firmer. The market here was weak; transactions were restricted by a fear
of change, favorable or unfavorable in the east.
Money has had an active demand, and the market was rulcd very close.
Bankers had difficulty supplying the calls made upon them. (3)

1255 - L. May 16:4/6 - Regardless of the fact that our armies are victori-
ous in Virginia and Georgia, gold maintains its position, and closed high-
er today than yesterday. It is hard to account for this, except that the
decline in the ruling rates of the past week discounted a decisive victory.
A great help to the operators in keeping up the price is in the heavy
demand for shipment. The buying rate here today was pretty uniformly 67.
There has been an active demand for money, and the discounts amounted
to a large aggregate. (3)

1256 - L June 2:4/6 - Gold closed in New York today at an advance of 1-1/4
per cent over yesterday's closing rate. It is most surprising that in
the face of the most favorable condition of the military situation, the
gamblers are still able to maintain the present high premium on gold.
The buying rate here today was uniformly 85 premium. (3)

1257 - L. June 17:4/6 - The gold movement has been uncommonly quiet at the
present, the cause probably being the pending legislation for the punishment
of that speculation peculiar to gold and stock gambling.
The closing rate was 97-1/4. Dealers here bought uniformly at 95 and
sold at 98 premium.
The money market is working toward increased stringency under an active
and accumulating demand, and the banks have been compelled to pay out as
currency their five per cent notes. - (3)

issued by the mint has the great fault of resembling the five dollar
gold piece.
"Sharpers will take advantage of this, and the ignorant may learn by
bitter experience that 'all that glitters is not gold.'" (3)

already received its deathblow. The only currency that should circulate
is national currency. -

past ten days, particularly upon the national banks, has been larger
than was probably ever before experienced, and as a consequence, a -
tight market is experienced. (3)
