The advance ia cousols and the imorease of bullion in the Bank of Eagland have filled our speculators in fancy ratiroad stocks with all sorts of bopes, They feel confident now that all difficulties have passed away, and that we are about entering upon . period of inflation, These sanguine and hopeful Individuals may bave a litt'e longer jease of their present prosperity, but the more they expand their operations the greater the revulsion when it comes. They aro rapidly exhausting themselves by the sacrifices made to carry stocks. It oosts two and threo Per cent ptr month for money to enable apeculators to hold on to their stocks. They are ali looking for an easy money market, but none of them know where 't is comiag from, They put down what little momey they may have ‘upon a certain steok the same as upon a certain card at the gambling table, ifthey yria, all well and good, but if they lose, they keep on in the same way until they get cleaned out, then burst up and re'ire, to give way for a Bow operator'of the same stamp, Wall street is simply 6 place for gambling upon a iarge scale, and speculators in ttocks, on cither side of the game, whether balls or boars, come out no better than regular gamblers at faro or roulette, At the board today there was more activity than we Dave noticed for some «days.

Chicago and Rock Ysland Railroad sold at 9434 995 per cen’, dividend of 12% per cent off. It is, we believe, the intention of most of the holders of the convertible bonds to convert them Into stock on the 10th of January, #0 as to realize on their investment and let the road drop. There are masy safer and better places to put money than in the bonds of @ railroad company which boldly asknowledges that the object of declaring a large steok dividend is to de- Preciate or destroy the value of the convertible clause im ite bonds. Am injunction has been talked of, but the best way is to sell out such securities and plese the pro- ceeds in ihe bonds or stock of some company managed by atrictly honest and honorable men, 1{ such oan be found, At the tecond board the buoyancy continued, with con siderable activity.

Poultry, as might have been expected, rates very high, notwith- standing the immense quantities in market; nor can we expect much reduction until after New Year’s day. ‘Well fattened and dressed turkeys sell at from 160. to ‘18c., while the poorer varieties briag 4c. Chickens are nearly ag high and nave advenced 4c. per Ib. during the past week. A great number of tame ducks are in mar- ket from Pennsylvania, but do not sell well. Wild game ia getting plenty. Wild pigeons are in from the West and sell well. Wild geere are selling at $1 a piece, and com- mand a ready sale. We saw several wild turkeys in market, for one of which the dealor asked $10. It came from Virginia. They average, however, about $4 par pair, Beare meat, « great rarity, is in market, but brings 373¢0. per Ib. Quail has fallen im price. Fish bas aivanoed in price in a most remarkable mauner, ‘The high winds along the coast have prevested fishermen from pursuing their ordimary avocations, and the conse quence bas beon that scarcely any fish ie in market and it all brings high prices. Some fish bas advanced five and six cents per Ib. Even cod has been raised in price. This is the more strange as very little feh is borght this sea- son, Meat is firm at somewhat lower rates than last ‘weeks’ market. However, it is still high enough in all conscience. There is but little new in vegetables. The prices are the same as last week, with an upward tendency. Winter apples are likely to be a little lower.
