Inc new L OK IFtOuhe OF yesterday, IN Its money
column, says
The money and stock markets are irregular. and
prudent people not disposed to make long engage
ments with Their money, to load up with stocks or
merchandise. The success of Mr. McCulloch in his
first movement toward funding the short debt of the
Government has taught gamblers upon the necess-
ties OF the Treasury salutary lesson, and convinced
them that the Treasury Is master of the situa-
ton, and able at any moment to crush speculation
The next statement of the national debt is expected
to show another reduction, and enough to warrant
the Secretary III Suspendng his funding scheme until
Congress meets and authorizes more thorough
system.
The Secretary needs Congressional action so far
as funding the compound notes and certificates of
indebtedness concerned. and the sooner he puts
another ?5O,OOO,OOO of gold bearing stocks in the
market, in exchange for short currency debt the
better. 1t will create general cutlery among over
IN stocks, and produce and make among them q rich
harvest OF bankrupts. The disaster to the plans of
this class OF the community will be made up a hun
bred fold by the benefits conferred upon the people
at large by forcing the crops promptly to market and
restoring to productive labor an army of idlers who
exist by speculation.
