RISE AND FALL OF GOLD.
OF course the fluctuations in the price OF
gold IN n few DAYS from 1856 TO 162, and
down to 1873, stopped, for the time, the ex-
port Of breadstnfis, and deranged both tho
dry goods and the produce market, and
caused stagnation and doubt in commercial
circles. But such violent changes, from such
causes, can only be temporary in their effects
upon the general couree OF trade. There has

there is no danger of IA financial royulsion, II
