At a recent meeting of the Board of Trade ia New
York, the following resolutions were adopted;
Resolred, That the government of this board re-
ceved with satisfaction the announcement that the
head of the Treasury Department at Washington has
not only av0Wed an intention OF gradually contract
ing the currency, but has actually commenced the
work, and furnished the evidence in the monthly
statement just published.
RcSolred That, in the opinion of the government
Of this board, the return OF peace to our country not
only deprives The National Government OF the argu-
ments Of necessity for continued expansion OF the
currency, but that il inperatvely demands judi
cous, gradual and regular contraction OF currency
by economy, funding and taxation.
Res0iped, That in the present condition OF things
in which prices very neutrality-suspicious. eX-
cessve-eXpOrts so small in amount and limited al
most to cotton and spece-we are forcibly reminded
that, however we may barter with each other, the
only standard of value by which We can settle with
the rest of mankind is the precious metals and that
We cannot anticipate healthy state of business,
finance or even of morals in our community until
We, as nation, are prepared 10 pay our debts in
gold and silver ms they fail due
ReSOlred, That we counsel no hasty action by the
Government or the community on this subject that
we do not recommend the policy of naming any
date for the resumption of specie payments, but we
do approve of the avowed purpose of the Govern
ment not only TO cease expansion but to inaugurate
steadily and firmly TO carry out carefully devised
pan for regular contraction rapidly as events may
prove to be sautary to the COMMUNICATING the OBJ
lect steadily in view an early resumption of specie
payments.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolves he for
warded by the officers OF this board to the President
OF the United States and the Secretary of the
Treasury.
