Tie sptgot was turned IN the Criminal Court
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and for two
hours and half there Was i steady 1ow Of
words, mainly objections, With rarc,-

properly characterize him. The expression
"tlarnuablc pcrlurcr" Was little too strong.
so tile Court checked william Walter, with the
remark thata witness was entitled to protection.
Thereafter the "lcarnct counsel" was moro
moderate, but kept as near to tho line as WIS
possible without crossing. The speech
was made up mostly Of g'Ittcring
gcncrasittcs. and whatever effect #
might hnvc had Was netltralizcd by iss e1trava-
wns no evidence against auyot the accus d, that
t,ja1 Of Kimberly ought not to be believed. and
asked tho jury to restore Ills "h1nest Aiid re-

Tho stocl, market to-day proved to be only con-
tinucd exhibition ofthe speculative craze, which has
taken possession of most Of the leading operators
The calculation seems to he that large crop is to
furnish large business to the railways, and that the
carving of this single crop is to overcome all the
troubles growing ont Of n decade of mismanagement
a"watering" of stocks and bonds, and
robbery by rich but dishonest speculative
officers. But it is by no means certain
that great crop does mean large carrying
trade. Already from Chicago'we hear fears ex-
pressed that the farmerswil not market their crops
at the prices likely to rule during this season. And
then too il is certain that not one or two eXtraor-
dinary seasons will be sufficient TO repair the dam
ages of over-valuations established during the era
of imitation.
Nevertheless there were buyers Of stocks this
morning seemingly anxious to secure all
there were for sale, and prices rapidly
advanced from the opening figures, during the hrst
bour's husness But il was noticed that there were
no new operators investors cIowdlng INTO the
speculative arena. The orders were OF the same
class as those which so successfully have advanced
prices TO their present point. After the frsi pufst
OF enthusiasm was over, the market was cNtieheIy
fcverish aud fuctuated up and down @ia per cent.
feature of the market to-day was the sudden de-
cline i'm the stocks of the Hannibal and II. Joseph
Railway The Common sold from II 10 y, and the
Preferred from y 10 23 later rayng TO ! ] l2 and
27la respectively. The cause of the sudden break
was The reception OF news that an Application had
been made in the Courts Of Missouri. 10y an alleged
stockholder of New-York, to place the Company in
The hands Of a receiver As the Company has not
dcfauled on any of its debts and rs the allegation OF
mlsmanagement, if true, bears upon former ohcers
and directors who 10 longer hold their positions,
the whole affair seems 10 be bareiaced
stocl-iobbing operation in the bear" interest.
This much we say without expressing any opinion
mon the value OF the CompanyS securities Orstocks.
