later from Chicago than Wednesdays market,

d.v With greater frmness, and all values are

Fan authorize the further issue Of 5000, 600, 900

or less extent, all market values. With the
further imitation of currency, speculation in all
exchapgeable commodities is stimulated, and
nrices, governed not by currency, but BY gold,
must advance.
