C., Feb. 19.—The dritt of opinion in Washington s decidedly against the probability that President Hayes will veto the Funding bill. It gues without say- ing that no Democrat in either branch of Congress belicves it even remotely probable that the bill will be vetoed. In this bellef al- 1most all Republicans coneur. In conversa- tion with n TRIBUNE correspondent this . | evening, Secretary Sherman said: . * 1 have no expectation that the- President will veto the bill; although I have had no conversation ve | \with him on that subject. . 1 do not se¢ any ground upon which he could base a veto. - It . the bilt is a practicable one or not, and . Wl : .- NODODY CAN TELL o until it bas been trieds -, Of course I have an opinioy ups ubjeet...but. Lam not avill- ing to express it, because it might cinbarrass uy.suceessorswho will' doubtless make a strong and determined effort to earry out the law.. I remember, too, that our + per cent bonds sold rapidiy, although when the ar- rangements. were made to pit them upon the market nearly everybudy -said the attempt would ena in failure.”” 2 “Do you -anticipate a great and sudden contraction of the currency by the retireent of circulation by the Nutionai banks in pro- portion to the amount of 5 and 6 per cent bonds deposited by them 2’ asked the corre- spondent. “No doubt there will be A CONSIDERABL TIREMENT of circulation by the Nutional bunks on ac- count of the passage of this law, but I do not apprehend disastrous consequences frowm it,” was the Seeretary’s reply. While, of course, Secretary Sherman did not express such an intention in words, the correspond- ent received an impression thet Mr. Sherinan will not, if his advice 1s sought by President ct, counsel him to veto the sation on the szme subject with a TripU correspondent this evening, Revresentative Claflin, of Jassachusetts, said: I DO NOT BELIEVE President Ilayes will veto the measure.and 1 eaunot think of any reason that would jus- tify him in so doing. Of course, we want to borrow money as cheaply as we can, and no- body can tell until it has been tried that s-per-cent bond will not sell at par.” “\What do you think is the prospeet” asked the correspondent. I think the Sccretary of the Treasury will be able to put out, somehow, $39,000,000 of the certificates. “'he banks can muunage these for & of 1 per cent, which will "practi- cally nake the interest 33 per cent o, the certificates for the first year, because the Seeretary will be allowed %{ of 1 per cent for expenses on them, the same as on the bonds. Then, I think, the National banks will take about 510,000,000 to replace that amount of 5 and G per cents, now deposited to secure circulation. ‘The Secretary will be ‘authior- the extent of fifty million dollars to buy bonds, subject to redemption, and the Sinking Fund will absorb about 560,000,000 wmore. p IN THESE WAYS about $250,000,000 of the rédeemable bonds probably will have been provided.for before 1 | Congress assembles next December, or be- forc the autumn demand for caiTency creates a stringency in the money market. Probably 540,000,000 of the redeemable Dbonds will still remain outstanding, and the next Congress will be compelled to raise the rate of interest to call them in”’ i “ DO YOU APPREUEND A DISASTROTS CO: TRACTION of the currency as a consequence of the €n- actment into lnw of the present bill > « I presume there will be something of & contraction,—say one-half the amount of the cireulation whiéh is based upon redeemable bonds. . This will doubtless create somo stringency in the money market, and prob- ably produce something of & commercial panie, 1 think 1t will, no doubt, depress the prices of stocks -generally. —But there could hardly be a_better time than the pres- ent to try a financial experiment, if one must be tried. * The country is_very prosperous, and tgemonny ‘markets of the world are very easy. REPRESENTATIVE TOWNSESD, OF OIIO, received this evening the following dispatch: CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 19, 1881.—In our judg- ment, the Funding bill ns passed oy tho Senute will be fatal to the Nulonal bankingsystem, and st force thegbunks to retire circulation, und bgm;gg;‘:‘gl; N e sua e‘gfl;-;t;l: Tesult disustrolisly to ull branches of busioess. .
