At the Gold-Room to- day everal geutlemnen were [nterrogated by the Jlerald correspondent on the subject, but the qiform answer was that, while gold was sclling st & premfum, even though that preminm was pelotr 1 per cent, the holders of the preclous metal would not be likely to offer it in exchange forsllver or greenbacka, both of which were Hable to fuctuations, *Wo want,"” sald a gentieman {n the Exchauge, *the guarantce of the General Gosernment hefore taking so radical a step, which might prove disastrous, considering the ancertainty of the action of Congress on the Resumption act.” ¢ No doubt, ho contlnued, niftho Secretary of tho Treasury should feol competent to give the word the Doston banks coulil fall into Jine promotly, but they are not {nelined to take the fnitfative,”s Boston capital {salways conservative, and shrinka from any tadical move. Probably nocity in tho country outside of New Yorik {8 better prepared to re- sume gold payments than Boston; but she has sdread of the nation's law-makers, and will bold back until the word is given at head- quarters, Btlll a few bands may resume shortly. But for the prosent concerted action snot probable. J. J. Monroe,& Co., large coal and lumber dealers, have set the cxample of resumption. After a suspension of gold payments for scventeen years, they have begun to pay out tho yellow metal. 8o far noneof the banks have followed their example. As Monroe & Co. have a large numnber of em- ploves, the cirealation among them of the gold dollar of tho fathers will, it Is expected, lnspire confidenco and give o fresh lmpetus to busie nest.
