THE srOCK MARKET.

Owing to the Generalization Of the
wires, caused by the late severe storm
on the Sierras, we haven't this morn
ing a complete list of the transactions
in stocks in San Francisco yesterday.
We present to our readers, however
all that we were able to obtain. From
this partial list it will be observed that
the general tone of the market shows a
decided Improvement. All Of the
stocks are quoted at advanced figures.
This must be particularly encouraging
to the ope rators, indicating, as it does
clearly, that the long talked of and
much desired spring raise is now at
hand. 1t is the opinion OF the writer,
based on information from The high
est and most reliable stock authority
in San Francisco, that the grand cul-
minating point will not be reached be-
fore the last of May. In the mean
time, leading stocks, we mean the bo-
nanzas and :~hereabOuts, will demand
prices never dreamed of during any of
the stock excitements that have hith-
erto characterized the San Francisco
market. A new crop OF millionaires
will, of course, spring up. while some
people who are now i'm ~affiuent circum-
stances may possibly go down. But
such is the mutability governing stock
gambling. aud it can not be helped. II
smith cleans up a million at the end of
the excitement, the chances are that
Brown and Jones will each be five
hundred thousand dollars put OF
pocket. 1t is a rare chance, however,
to transfer somebody's else money to
our own pockets, and as the world
wags nowadays we will all be count
ed fools if we don't do it. There are
but few of us here for missionary pur-
poses, and most of us don't care a fig
whether it. is Smith, orJones, or Brown,
or all of them, who looses, so we come
out winner. Stocks are already con-
siderably above bedrock, but
disc to have a home in glory"
they are lower. Buy 'em when they
are down and sell 'em when they are
up, is the sure road to fortune. 1t is
the way San Franciscans build fine
palaces and keep matched horses and
liveried servants. 'Rich men ride
in chaises while poor men walk, be
jasus." Nc blasptemy intended.
Apr. and May is when things are to
boom along the whole line. They'll
boom most in the vicinity of the boz
nanzas Don't get greedy and stay in
too long. There will be a crash OF EN-
pires and a wreck of worlds at the final
Niud-up, when things begiu 10 tumble.
You must .ben stand from under, or
you may turn up ON fine day iloat-
ing in the bay, or in an attic with a
pistol ball through your br in. Some
people, you know, when they have
lost their all and are no longer able to
pay their board and wash bills justify |
as furnishing a refuge OF final
rest, where stock gambling is I'M
known and where neither ''moth nor
rust doth corrupt" But who cares for
a few suicides, il We can only yet away
with a fair proportion of the baggage.
People who hav'nt the nerve TO loose
their millions, and social status, with
becoming discouraged and Jump
ing into the bay, are not worth bother
ing ones head about, anyhow. Met
aphorically speaking, soine of us
will fall heir to their shoes and enjoy
the millions they did not know how %
keep. Sell your Opliir at $500 in April
and your California at Sl75 in May
provided you can get it.
