CATION and the stringency of the money
market are two of the chief obstacles to

Gold.

Coin is accommodating in England and
France, while the large export of Govern
ment bonds to Europe. wheel we shall
have to pay in coin, fails to bring coin to
ten millions of coin, and France seven
hundred millions. a large estimate, of the
dred aud fifty millions. although the
country produces over fifty millions of
gold year. The reason is, gold is the
cheapest commodity we have; so it is ex-
ported TO where 1t Is more valued. And it
see ms to be thought the part of wisdom in
our financial policy 10 make it cheaper on
an inflated paper currency. The Treasury
has given away millions of coin to de-
press the market, thus cheapening gold to
pay foreign industry and stimulating the
over expectation, which requires from one
hundred and fifty to two hundred millions
of gold bonds a year to pay the balance

TIE Coal TRADE, in confirmation of the
views expressed in yesterdays Gazette, as to
the coal trade, we copy the following from the
Georgetown news in the Washington Union :
Already our coal trade is lettering, and
some of the largest comp anies talk strongly of
moving to Alexandria their removal, of course,
defending upon the rebuilding of the aque-
duct. This, however. is not their choice, but
the facilities here are not sufficient and no little
dissatisfaction is exhibited by the companies
who are bridging the coal from Cumberland
here aud ty ownera of vessels who take the
coal from here to distant ports, at the delay
octasioned by the limited facilities Of unload.
ioy the coal from canal boats and shippingit. .
We hope the suggestion made Yesterday,
will be adopted by the President and Directors
ofhe G. Il O.. Canal, as it is important to the
interests Of the Coal Companies and to the
revenues and success of the Canal 1,,
