THE GOLD BILL.

The bill prohibiting, under severe penalties,
speculation in gold or foreign exchange upon what
is called "a Margin" and which was referred on
Tuesday to the Senate Committee on Finance, pro-
duced some sensation in Wall street and elsewhere.
Gold fell Immediately some two per cent, and,
should the bill be reported, would further decline
1t is supposed by some that Congress will pass the
bill, but speculation founded upon that presump-
ton would be very hazardous. The Secretary of
the Treasury has not recommended such mea-
sure, nor is it known that it will receive the eanc-
ton Of the Fnan .ia Committee Of either House Of
Congress
1t may be well, for the benefit Of the uninitated
in gold speculations, to mention that what is called
" the margin" allowed to adventurers is ten per
cent in New York, and twenty per cent 10 Wash
ington also, that the brokers' commission on
buying and selling is one-eighth of one per cent. in
New York, and here one fourth Of one per cent.
