banker in New York, states that the
tendency of financial operations i,

to resume specie payment. Ii says all

isting legislation.
1t was stated at the Treasury Depart
ment Yesterday that everything now
tended to absolute resumption on the
day specified in the act.

pose of beating the silver bill.
