Another illustration OF the disastrous Influence
Of speculation upon productive industry and egiti-
mate trade appeared yesterday in a commercial DIS
patch from Boston, which stated that no boston
house was involved in the failure of the great rub
Der firm Of bIaTscillcs and Para, which iorcedruDDer
last year no TO 81 20 per pound for Para 1t added;
"Tberubber works are now mainly closed. Those now
idle are the WoOnsocket Company, at Woonsocket
r. l., the National, at Bristol, r. l., the J.. Camden
at New-IIayen, the Meyer, at New
Brunswick, the New-Brunswick, at New
Brunswick, and the American, at Bos-
tom" These establishments, when in full opera
ton. employ great number of hands, and add
large sum to the yearly product of the country.
They are idle now, many rubber works nave Deeh
for a long time, because the gigantic speculation
last wear rendered the price of rubber SO artificial
and unreliable that production of rG Der goods was
deemed unsafe. The only people who prohted at
that time when everybody else was injured were
the few SPECTATORS who engineered the advance III
prices Now it appears that they have met the rate
which so often bofallS those whocontrlye to control
for tine the markets for staple products. they
could force the price up by heavy buying, but they
could not compel anybody to take their load of
their hands at any price. The result was greaS
fall in price, and then great failure. thus II
seems that the supposed gains of the spectators
were fictitious, like the prices they established.
Everybody suffered, and nobody really gained.
eve have known of but two Americans says
The Tioy Press that ii seemed prepOSt erous to ad-
dress as Hon.'-Samuel j. TIlden and Horatio
SEYMOUR And yet The Press pretendS to be, and
apparently is sincere in advocating the claims OF
Roswell p Flower to the Presidency. It's queer
world.
There are a great many people in Brooklyn and
its suburbs who take an active interest in racing.
That is shown by the prosperity of the Brighton
Beach race-track, which is mainly supported by
Kings County Now every racing man east Of the
big Bridge looks on the Brooklyn stable, the prop
erty of the Dwyor Brothers. as quite the most stu
pendous collection Of horsefesh that the world has
vet seen. Undoubtedly the Dryers have been OK
ceedingy shrewd and sagacious, and have owned
some of the best of the American racers of recent
wears. But if writer in The Brooklyn Eagle may be
beleyed their pasc successes, will prove lnslgnIh-
cant in comparison with their future trlumphs Ac-
cording to him almost every horse thoy now own
and the name of these is legon-is almost certain to
win every race he runs in This being the case, the
Jockey clubs might as well meet now and award
almost all their stakes and purses to the Dryers
1t will save time and trouble.
