Supreme judicial Court,

JANUARY TERM-DAvIs, j., PRESIDING.
TUEsDAY.-In the case of Jane P. Thurs
ton vs.. City of Portland, reported yesterday. J
Mr.. Drummond the City. Solicitor made the
argument for the defense, and Mr.. A. Merrill
for plaintiff. The jury returned verdict for
defendant.
The second jury was discharged last Friday
at the conclusion of the above case the first
jury was discharged.
Since the first week of the court, it has been
busily engaged in trying cases every day
There has been no let up in the business, and
no slackening ia bringing cases forward for
trial. A large amount OF old matter is thus
swept from the docket. Judge Davis has
been indefatgablein his efforts, and he brought
the members of the bar to the belief that I'M
der his judicial administration, he will not
keep two juries waiting day after day because
cases are not ready for trial. -

No "CHANCE FOR SPECULATIoN."-Ever
unAn who enlsts upon the quota of Portland
will receive the State bounty of 500 in cash

sumes the scrip issued by the State for these
bounties, and pays the money to the men who
enlist. SO it will be perceived there is no
~chance for speculation" and the soldiers will
not be obliged TO sell their certificates "to
sharpers for cash down, at heavy rates of dis
count"

FRIDAY EFENISG, Oct 6; 1855.
Local money matters remain without de-
cided change. There was a good demand
for discounts to-day, and on some of the
banks quite heavy checking, combining to
create a closer market than yesterday. The
supply of currency, however, is sufficient
for the legitimate wants of customers, and
beyond this bankers are not disposed to loan
their means. Exehbnge is steady, and rates
are unchanged at par buying and 5@4 pre-
MUM selling.
The stock excitement in New York is still
rampant, the speculative tide drifting from
one road to another according to the views
of the " bull " cliques, the whole list being
thus worked steadily upward. A strong
force of outside spectators are heavy buy
ers, and give the chief support to the adj
vance. How far off the point of culmina-
ton is cannot be judged from the present
appearance of the market which promises
an almost indefinite initiation.
Gold continues very firm, but the bulls
are unable to maintain their extreme views,
as shown by the fact that the price to-day,
after reaching 1881, promptly reeeded near
ly two per cent, and closed at 1464, only !
per cent. above the closing price of yester-
day. In spite of spectators, the value of
gold at present is purely commercial, and its
price must work upon the plane of supply
and demand.
The prices of all commodities in the pro
duce line are steadily advancing in the
Eastern markets, and the advance seems to
be marked by a irmness that relieves it Of
the character of a speculative movement
That it is such to a large extent, however,
we do not doubt, since there is no present
and very little prospective foreign demand
to justify so decided an upward turn. The
near approach of the close of navigation on
the lakes may have some influence in in
ducing the advance in order to bring for
ward produce from the West, while means
of transportation are abundant and compar-
atINvIJ un.~F.
In this market prices are firm and tend
ing upward, but buriness is still confined to
the local and interior trade. Flour closed
better. Wheat is without decided change.
Corn steady. Oats better. Rye and Bar
ley unchanged.
In Provisions we note a further advance
of S1,OO OIL Pork other kinds unchanged
and firm.
Produce is firm and active. Cheese closed
a shade better. Eggs are scarce and wanted
at better prices.
Highwines are unchanged, but dull. Pc
troleum continues steady and firm. Other
articles are without reported change.
The receipts and shipments at this point
of Produce and Merchandise, during the
twenty-four hours ending at 7 o'clock this
morning. were as follows
