No new developments of semi-ofcial reports OF the
Secretary of the Treasury were made to-day. The
current rumors were that money to be kept easy
for few days. until more settled feeling obtains,
when it will be suddenly made stringent, and re-
newed attack made on the market This renewed
stringency is to 10 engineered so as to make Mr'
McCulloch pay ont his greenbacks The authority
for him to do so is doubted by all sound fnanciers.
and it is not thought that ne will issue dollar OF
currency, all the rumors to the contrary notwlth-
standing. The present currency is amply sufficient
for all the business interests. The real fault is in the
enormous combinations made to keep UP the prices of
produce instead of allowing it to decline to its
level with the currency. The premium gold
has ranged from S2a5O per cent during the past
year, while the products of the country sell in some
instances from 100 to 200 per cent higher than on
specie basis; the necessaries of life thus con-
troled by superintendent currency to the infinite
damage of the laboring classes. Any process that
can be used to break these prices to their legitimate
level would be hailed by all as blessing. return
to specie payment is the surest and quickest way ont
of the trouble Mr.. McCullochs want of any policy
has aggravated these evils to great extent and the
manner that his department has been manipulated
to induce belief that he would initiate the currency,
against law and public sentiment, excites the ndg
nation of the business community.
