STocKs.-There has been great and
rapid advance in the prices Of stocks
within few weeks in New York--so
great, indeed, as 10 create apprehension
with some OF revulsion and disasters
like those that followed the wild specu-
latiOns Of 1885 and 1886; tho ugh we
see no reason why the stock s of States
that punctually pay The terest on their
public debts should not be a! least at
par. We are most astonished at the un.
reasonably low prices At which State
stocks have been sold for two. years past.
Such low prices could have been caused
only by want of faith in the stability Of
our government, or fear of reputation,
a measure hatmight certainly be regar-
dsd as the commencement of ana rchy
and dissolution. This was ore of the
bad consequences Of the result OF the
election IN l640. Such successful use
of fraud and deception were we'll calcu.s
lated to cause distrust among foreign
capitalists, who were ignorant oFthe
conservative principles Of our institutions,
and of the wide diffusion of intelligence
among our people. Subsequent elsC.
tons have had cOunte ractihg influence,
and have restored confidence I. and raised
American stocks 10 prices more prOxima>
ting TO their true value. Ohio six per
cent stocks have risen to 944 cents; and
the holders Of the 7 per cent stock
which was lately sold, now ask lO5 for
il. Kentucky skies, and New York 6veS
are at par; and New York skies at 10.
