The case of the Raymond and Ely; Company, agninst the Hermes Com. piny, which has been on trial at Pioche, Nevada, for. several weeks, . was given to the jury on April 30th. case, and some $20,000 was bet on pots being made in eyery shape, even to the Rumber of votes of the jury for each party. The case has been . won by the Herines_ Company, and . the bottom has droppéd_out of Raymond and Ely, stock. A few weeks ago it sold at over $100 per foot; and hus dropped to $35. It isstate that one man, who expected to make over $30,009 on the result of the -suif, loses $10,000. This is an example . _ of steck gambling. Men not. only “speculate on the value of stocks, which are in most cases ouly speculative, but they also «gambie on the probable chances of a law suit between the, companies. Money used for such purposes is a curse to'the country, und capital, instead of being the instrument for the development of the wealth of the nation, be! comes an obstacle to its development. It does not proguce ot aid in produeing @ dollar’s valuation, any “more than the money staked and won or lost in a game of poker. While the Legislature isenacting laws for the prevention of gambling, “if would be well for them to include this stock gamblipg, which only. diffars fvom the small games suppressed in the amount of the stakes, and which in its demoralizing effect upon the public’ and _in business, far exceeds the smaller games that are played for money. Young men ev“ery year become defaulters, and old this gambling in stocks, and, the evils which follow are becoming every day more common in the larger . cities, where men, eager to get rich in @ harry; without labor, stake money and reputation in stock gambling, in the hope that'they may wit “at the oxpemse of someone who must lose.
