The fever of speculation is on again,
and Boston appears to have ii as severely a.
any other community. There probably
never was time when speculation was more
general than now, and when there were so
large a number of small spectators irving
their chances with tempting offers. There
is a revival of confidence in mining stocks,
or there appears to be, and these are now
tossing about in lively fashion A signif-
cant move is the opening of stock operating
rooms for women in the retail part of the
