On the Gold Sltua,lOn-The Condition Of
the Ourrcucy.
( New YoRx, April II Senator Sherman,
speaking here yesterday Of the financial
situation, said | an somewhat surprised
that the great financial men Of New York
do not seem to appreciate tho changes that
may come to the business interests Of the
country by the quotation some morning Of
gold at premium, and especially the
enormous contraction this would produce,
by the sudden demonstration Of gold and
gold certificates. Whenever the time
comes that gold is quoted at premium it
to be currency only, as much as corn,
wheat or cotton. l: becomes o commodity,
like any other commodity, to be bought
and sold at the market price. No man can
estimate the effect oi such an enormous
contraction OF the current money, though
the first impression would be that the silver
standard, being the cheaper standard,
would make times easier and price higher;
but this view does not take notice Of ths
contraction Of the currency. Tho re
sumption oil specie payments, advanced
prices and increased currency, made timer
easier. y5.s' .2,
