GambIInR IN wall street.

Gambling has assumed a new phase in Wall
street From fancy stocks, corn and cotton,
the gamblers have gone into dry goods. "Now
you see IL and nov you don't see IT," The
Herald Of Monday thus records the success
OF the gamblers--perhap we ought 70 say
ApecuIatorh--- their new game
none Of the most curious features OF the
derangemsnt caused by the war in the usual
course Of our commercial operations is the
turn which speculation has taken amongst our
Wallstreet operators They are abandoning
fancy stocks for fancy goods, and now nothing
is talked Of on Change but the price Of long
cloths and muslins. To such point is the
fever Of speculation in this line carried, that
one New England house in this city, whose
leading partner holds both gubernatorial and
military rank, ia realizing, by multiplied com
missions on the same invoices Of goods, more
than their actual cost. The great majority of
the persons concerned in these operations be-
ing capitalists outside the trade, the purchases
which they make are Immediately reinyoiced
for sale, and thus stocks Of goods, worth in
the aggregate from five TO one hundred thous-
and dollars or more, are daily changing own
ers without changing warehouses, securing
thereby 10 the firm selling them an amount
of commission exceeding their actual value.
Some idea oil the enormous amount OF lts gains
| in this way may be gathered from the fact that
it sold the other day single invoice, amount
ing to $l20,0O0, atprices exceeding by three
hundred per cent those Of twelve months ago.
Thus these New England manufacturers and
commission houses whose principals have
been mainly Instrumental in bringing the
country into its present ruined condition, have
not only realized large fortunes by contracts
and the protection of a war tariff but the CON
tnuing to make futher enormous gains by the
commercial embarrassmenls which they have
provoked 1t is no wonder that whilst such a
profitable eordtion of things lasts they should
be anxious to throw every obstacle in the way
Of vigorous prosecution of the war. Our
present troubles are mainly laid to the account
Of New England fanaticism If they were
set down to that Of New England cupidity
they would equally near the truth.
