IMPORTANT GOLD BILL.
A highly important bill was introduced
this evening from the Ways and Means
Committee. making ell transactions in
gold illegal, unless there is an actual
manual exchange OF currency for the gold
at the time the contract is made. The bill
provides TOR the severe punishment in any
court OF record, of parties found guilty, and
has numerous other details, apparently
making gold speculation almost an impos-
sibiIity.
