The Tribune says the Treasury will, ut the earliest
moment fund a further amount Of currency, and it
IS not reasonable to expect anything in favor of
short six per cent gold loan to sell above par it, in
deed that price can be steadily maintained. A very
large amount OF the profits of the past four years has
been put into government loans and as the currency
is contracted and money made more valuable. more
ment demand can absorb.
The Philadelphia Commercial anil FIaoncjol Ca,on-
icic says:
We hear with pleasure the report that Mr. McCuI-
loch Is PROPOSING to offer the beginning of the year
loan on hVe-twenty bonds at fixed price, the pay
ment 70 be made in interest bearing legal tenders at
par and interest. The amount of the loan being un
tended.
The New York Herald speaking Of the recent cor
ner III Pralrle du CHEN, says that the Prairie Dog
corner was conspiracy to fleece those who were
short Of the stock IT would not be difficult prove to
the satisfaction OF a jury, and the Stock Exchange
owes IL TO It's own honor TO investigate the circum-
stances Of the case and. far lies in its power
stigmatze with mcried odnm the parties concerned
IN SO discreditable proceeding If such transactions
rs this are passed over without investigation and con-
domination by the Board of Brokers' it will show
surprising indifference to its own interests and repu
tation.
