There has been quite upward movement in stocks
during the past week and there appears to be
position to speculate in the fances than we have OBJ
served within the past two years Prices rule about
Eve per cent higher than they have any for several
months past and the tendency the close of the mar

within the past week quotations range many per
cent below those during the great speculative
movement three years ago, with all the improvement
which has been made in the works represented by these
stocks aud the actual increase in the value the shares
as an investment We do not say that all hav,
improved in value. but to say that the value
some Of them have within the past three years doubled
In value, and In fact worth double what they were
then.
We do not attribute the present improvement In
prices to any increased value of these Investments
because that is the very last thing In the world
that has any influence in Wall street; and then
sgan the prejudice against most Of those called
ances has for so many been strong that very
few will believe for moment that any real Improvement
can possibly take place in them the improvement
in prices has therefore been produced by other
the most important Of which Is the abundance of money
and the reduced rate for interest.
Holders Of most Of the fancy stocks, who have conn
dencs enough in them to keep them Of the nrket
for year two will realize much better prices than
those ruling. The rapid increase in the general
prosperity of the country The immense increase in the
internal traffic of the country growing out OF the de-
mand and high prices ruling for breadstu and the ra-
pidly increasing population give all the works OF inter
nal improvement much business than has here

ANOTHER SPEECH BY GENERAL BENTON
Colonel, or rather General Benton-Senator Ben
ton--made another speech on the 10Th May last, in
Jefferson City, Missouri The extreme modesty
for which he is distinguished, pervades it
throughout
This last speech is condensed for the St. Louis
Union and would it be believed, that the synop-
els occupies four and half columns Of one OF
The largest papers in the Union1 We have with
some difficulty gone through this speech for the
especial benefit of our readers, who would
not have the courge to commence it if they saw
it's length; or if they had courage to commence
would not have the patience to wade through so
much selfpraise and egotsm with which it
abounds.
One whole column he occupies in returning
thanks for having been thirty years in the Senate
of the United States. His experience, he says,
shows that republics are not ungrateful. In re-
gard to his being nominated for the Presidency,
he returns another hat full of thanks but he must
decline the honor.
H. on recent occasion he had been willing to leave
the Senate it for the honors and emoluments OF
office but for the risks aud hardshps and responsib'-
ties OF service In whchhe hoped to do something use
