TIE SUDDEN RISE AND FALL IN GOLD

THE SUDDEN RISE AND FALL IN GOLD
Secretary Boutwell,, about half-past eleven
o'clock this morning, telegraphed to General
Butterfeld, Assistant Treasurer at New York
city. TO sell tomorrow si,OOO,Q0l In gold and
purchase s4,OOOOOO worth OF bonds. This tel
egram, II seems, fell like a bompshell in New
York. The Secretary was very cautions, ex.
ercising the utmost secrecy IN regard 70 or.
dering the sale, writing the telegram himself,
and for Al least three-q quarters of an hour after
sending IL he refused to admit any one into his
room. In a short time after wards a dispatch
was received here from New York announcing
that gold had fallen to 1876. The excitement in
town this morning relative to the con-
di,ion Of the gold market was very great.
1t is represented that gold will take another
rise, as the combinsti tion In New York is an
extensive one, and able TO buy all the coin
thrown upon the market. There is now about
eighty millions in the Treasury, and if this
should all be offered except the reserve and
purchased by the combination, they would
be enabled to put the price mp TO their
own figures. The Secretary must re-
serve nearly thirty millions Of what he
has on hand to pay the sem-annual coin
interest falling due On the 1st OF Noyem.
ber, therefore It well be impossible for him TO
throw more than fifty millions on the market
at present. In 1856 a similar comb nation was
made agairst Secretary McCulloch, the ring
purchasing over S35,OOO,COO which he put in
the market, after which they kept the premium
up TO a high figure.
