But how to contract the currency
with the least injury to business is the
great question. Permanent contraction
is the only sovereign renedy-not the

paw a debt contracted when green

their affairs by Just such future as the

cnre For safety the Chronicle suggests
.eyeral years after July, 1865, as the
date of specie resumption, and advises
that in the meantime what is to be done
in the way of contraction should be
nerforned slowly. In this connection
we may add that it is generally under
stood that some expedients will be pro-
posed early in the next Congress for
tracing the currency gradually, by
methods which will not disturb the
money market or produce any nnneces-
sary spasms of instability in the work

Pitisburg Oil Trade.
PITTSBURG, Angus

PITTSBl re-, August =.
BUSINESS The market yesterday was
unsettled. Holders Of crude manifested
but little disposition topart with their
stocks unless at slight advance. The
stock here being principally in tank is
considered in n good location, as the
prospect for rise in the Allegheny is
not very ilatterng. The sales were
confined to single transaction in crude
of 900 bills bulk for first water deliv-
cry ut lie The asking rates were, spot
oil Halle, according to the gravity.
For all the year, buyers option l2ic
was the lowest figure it could be pur-
chased for. Dispatches from Oil City
represent the market inactive and
nothing doing, the advantages of the
market evidently being about evenly
divided.
REFINED OIL-Was the principal at
traction among dealers. The market
opened firm al increasing disposition
to purchase at rates that were current
the previous day. Holders held ont for
an advance and succeeded in obtaining
one before the close. Dispatches re-
ceived late in the afternoon reported
the Philadelphia market very firm, and
dealers excited and anxious to pur-
chase. These dispatches inspired
holders with the belief that further
advance would be among the things
announced during the day. The sales
yesterday reached $500 bbls, all stand
ard white, excepting 500 bbls regular.
