The New York Herald of 7th inst, says:
"The frmness and high price of gold are mainly
caused by the movement of the Treasury Depart
ment and the most prominent evil practices art
the selling of gold secretly and the notorious gold
gambling consequent therefrom and also the
GROWING climax of Issuing new kind of paper
money, proiessing to be convertible INTO specie
under the name of gold certificates European
view these gold certificates ms paving the way fo
paying the gold interest the public debt in thes
new paper money issues OF gold certificates, in
stead of the gold coin itself. The easy condition
Of the money market arises from the withdrawal o
funds from legitimate trading and enterprises, AM
their accumulation in the great money center o
New York to await eventuaities. When call-loan
are easy then stock Epeculations thrive and egiti
mate trading is languishlng Such is our presen
condition" .. -..
