0«ing parllv lo specnhiiion, and partly to a heavy 
demand for duties on iinpoited goods, gold has been 
higher ihe ptist nionlli, at one time touching 149. To-day 
it is 144?; against 1423^ a moiilli ago. As noted in ihe 
table below, the prices of bieadsiuffs are higher, affecled 
somewhat by the gold maiket, but more by an active 
.speculation at Chicago, atnoiinting to g.imbling. Dealers 
theie have even purihaseil laigely in this maiket. and 
prices have been carried up beyond the reach of buyers 
for foieign markets, so much so as 10 almost stop exporl, 
while the Western speculation has prevented lite usual 
supplies from coming foi ward. It can hai'dly beoiher- 
wise than Ihal there will be trouble resulting from Ihese 
gambling operalioiis, and we shall not be stiriuiscil to see 
an early breakdown in piices Corn, Rye, Bailey, 
and Oats ate quiet and prices weaker Collon has 
been in brisk demand, at rapidly atlvanclng piicea, under
