WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH g.

GOLD AND S1LvER.-There was halt in
the downward course of the currency price of
gold on Saturday. The closing rate at New
York was ll35 against ll32 on Friday, which
shows q slight recovery. The events Of this
week promise to be important, and there arc
grave apprehensions of excitement and wide
fluctuations There is also general DISPOSE
ton to await the action of the Senate to-day
on the funding bill, which measure promises to
be the next pivot upon which the gold market
will turn. -.
It reported that many OF our city retail
dealers, particularly those in the public market
houses, we're on Saturday using silver for
small change. II the decline in the currency
price Of gold continues, it is probable that the
boarded silver will come out freely and add to
the volume of circulation, and when the cur
repoy reaches par it's whole volume will also be
added to the circulation. This, however, must
be necessarily gradual process.
In New York we see it stated that the
shrewd traders are extensively setting up specie
payments on their own account by paying out
silver change, which brings them additional
custom. from the novelty of touching hard
money in dimes, half dimes and quarters. "
These dealers buy silver in Canada for about
ten per cent, discount for gold, and OF course
lose but little on the transaction. Canada IS
gutted with American silver, one bank having
at least three tons Of it.-Baltimore Snn.
