This paper presents unique evidence on financial market expectations during the monetary regime uncertainty of the 1870s. The analysis incorporates quantitative evidence from the option market as well as qualitative evidence from the contemporary financial press. Credibility of monetary policy fluctuated dramatically during this period. Contrary to the impressions given by historians, I find that Grant's 1874 veto of the Inflation Bill did not eliminate fears of inflation. I also conclude that the Resumption Act had significant impact on the expectations of market participants. The evolution of political uncertainty explains market expectations better than standard economic variables do.
