FINANCE AND TRAD
OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTE,
SATURDAY, May 8, 1869: S
The excitement • prevailing in the gold
market on Friday last continued on
Saturday morning and gold at one time
had reached ''.18936. The market ranged
firm from 1384; to 188% during the fire
.
noon, - until ittwas officially announced
that the Secretary of the Treasury would
buy Government bonds to the extent of
one million 'per week, and continue the
gold—sales _in even greater quantities
than 'as heretofore, one million .dollars
per week. II this is adhered to, gold
should certainly decline largely within a
short time; but there is • one great obsta
cle to that: The large imports which
continue throughout the season, exceed
ing anything ever heard of, arid trte de
crease and inactivity of our exports,
except bonds, which are more and more
appreciated , by European capitalists.
The - attempts of the Bank of England
Directors to prevent a farther import Of
'foreign securities, by raising the rate of
discount to: flve per cent, has had but
a temporarY effect on bonds.
The action of Secretary Boutwell
severely criticised by the press; especi
ally those that •have always favored a
strict adherence to a specie standard, as
early as practicable. The application Of
the sinking fund law at present, when
over fifty millions .of temporary three'
per cent. Certificates are outstanning,
which are iheld by banks as d en ted re
serves, but which may be pr for
redemption at any moment, : certainly
looks doubtful; and the fact that the
Secretary of the Treasury does not mean
tofdestrorthe bonds redeemd, is also a
very weak' point in the sch e eme of reti
ring bonds. -So long as our present du
ties are derived from excessive imports,
the policy,of selling gold may be plausi
ble, bat we must certainly soon come to
a point when we can no longer ship and
pay for, in our promises to pay.

announcement of Secretary
Bontwell's intention to put the'Sinking-
Fund act' of 1862 into operation, and that
connection between the - Union and Cen
tral Pacific Railroads would be made on
Monday, were the thief topics of conver
sation in financial circles to-day. The
Stock Exchange and Open. Board agreed
to-dayto consolidate under the name of
the New York Stock Exchange. The
formal union takes place next Tuesday.
The new Board will have about one
thousand members and seven hundred
thousand dollars in the treasury, and
will be under the management of a com
mittee of forty. to be elected Monday,
and composed of twenty-eight members
of the Stock Exchange and twelve of the
Open Board.
- T
he Stock Exchange to-day rescinded
the expulsion of the firm of Lockwood &
Co., who were turned out along time ago
because of one of the members .being
elected a member of the On Board.
The New York Central Scrip pe and Rail
road'Consolidation bills have paned the
Legislature.and are before the Governor
for signature..lt was reported tcrdaj ,
that the Fort-ayne Company has de
clued a scrip dividend of sixty per cent.'
This is denied by , the agents here, 'al
though it is admitted there will be a lib
eral;, scrip dividend and the road
leased in perpetuity to the Pennsylvania
Conipany.

with some exceptions at 6 per cent.
