THE CREDIT OF CHICAGO.

The sale by the Mayor and Comptroller
Of $4,000 Of Chicago seven per cent.
bonds having twenty years to run tor
nine per cent. premiums to C. c. Parks ESQ,
banker, corner Of Dearborn and Lake
streets, is highly complimentary to the
credit Of the city. As every one Of these
bonds will be paid in gold, and as seven
per cent. is a good round interest for real
money, if the premium On gold now ruling
be taken into the account, the bonds are
after all worth much more than the price
realized, and Mr. Parks has made most
fortunate speculation. If the depreciation
Of our currency should continue, they
must inevitably reach much higher fig
1re. Capitalists will be most anxious to
invest in a security in the soundness Of
which there can be no shadow Of doubt,
