that Secretary Sherman has decided to
and will announce the resumption of
specie payments by the U. s. government
on or before the first of December next.
The law requires that resumption shall
take place January 1st next. This &C.
ton Of the Secretary, if taken will be
to intercept Congressional legislation on
the subject, which might be of such a
character as to repeal entirely the re
sumption law, or postpone for some time
its being put into force. It is further in
timated that the Secretary may announce
resumption at as early date as August
1st next.

seventy millions of bushels of the golden wheat,
