 -E law passed by the late Congress to tax speculative transac- 

 in Gold created a great panic in Wall street. Gold, which 

 ioM as high as 173. fell to 150. It rallied again and reached 

 howing that the " Bulls" were still strong. It is now said, 

 Ter. that a German Banlving House has offered to loan the 

 rinnent one hundred millions of dollars in gold. It is 

 jht th:it Mr. Chasb will not be under the necessity of issuing 

 more Legal Tender Notes, and under these combined

 The prospects for high prices next fall are highly faTora-
