CHICAGO Oct. 1, 1862 antics Of IA
wall street gamblers have produced quite ?
commotion IN financial circles. We're ne
evil results of their yillainv confined T. tbe
gamblers themselves, few woud mourn wbiie
multltudss would rejoice. That so MANY of
them have come TO grief is cause p1ibii.
congratulation: II those who counterfeit the
currency, or sign forged names to cop,,,,,--.-
cial paper, deserve the peniteptlary. those
who recklessly, or for the purpose of enrich
ing themselves by dishonest combinations
lock up the currency, change comnercisi
Yaiues, derange the business interests Of the
country, and bankrupt or beggar thousands
iichiy merit berth IN the state prison.
RISE AND FALL OF GOLD.
OF course the fluctuations in the price Of
gold in few days from 135 to I62 ami
down to 12S. stopped, for the time. the ex-
port OF breadstuffs, and deranged both fhe
dry goods and the produce market an5
caused stagnation and doubt in coEln,ercisi
circ es. But such violent changes fropl s,lrl,
causes, can only be temporary in their effects
upon the general course of trade. There has
been no permanent change of values. and
thei IL no danger of a financial reyuIsiun. III
the Secretary Of the Treasury will MANAGE
the public funds with as much prudence ana
common sense ss good merchant youId
manage his own business Affairs.
SECRETARY BOUTWELL, POLICY.
Secretary Boutwell, knows, or ought q
KNOW, within very small limit just how
much money he needs for the next ak
months. The appropriations are all made
ior the year, and he knows what is to
De PAID In each apartment Of the pab-
hcserviee. He knows, too. what his resources
arc, ana what to expect II the country eniovs
ordinary prosperity. Let him sell his snr
Plus gold that he does not need for green (
packs, and with those purchase L. S. bonds /
keeping enough OF them uncanceiied To be /
feconvertcd into greenbacks should the Trea- /
sury need them, and thus keep the money in /
cIrculauon where ITS Use viii DO some good !
instead OF locking Ii up where it is useless. 4
and thus doing on larger scale what the
wall street gamblers have just been doing
on smaller one. The result OS this uolicy
would be to enhance the credit OF the Govern
ment and the value of L. S. bonds, and bv
making money easy, so that all binds of
business would prosper and the people be
able to pay their taxes and other debts
increase the resources of the Government.
secretary Boutweirs policy is good as far a.
IL goes, but 1t does not so far enough.
Ii ls just as unwiss for the Government. IN
dept, to hoard money which il does not and
Will not need Tor running expcn os, instead
OF paying Its debts with 1t, as il would be for
private individual in debt to hoard his
money and refuse to pay his debts. In the
latter case he would be adjudged dishonest
and unworthy Of trust.
TRADE,
in the Wholesale department of dry oood,
hardware, boots and shoes, cloaks and cloak
ing, millinery goods, leather and findings and
some other branches has been good Somo
OF the leading houses report larger sales last
week and last month than at the same period
IN any previous year. But with smaller
houses trade Is backward and dull.
