WALL STREET,

SATURDAY, sept Zl-oP NJ.
There was no departure to-day from the usual GUS
tom peculiar to Saturdays market OF gathering up
the ravelied ends OF speculation previous to fresh
start on Monday morning Consequently the limited
business Of the day confined closing up short
contracts and liquidating long ones, and nothing
occurred to impede tho process Unless 1t be very
deep indeed the leading operators appear to have
NO defined plan for the future and are simply passing
the time In hmblsriggtng prices for the sake OF the
excitement yielded and tho small profits obtained.
80 tar to-day 10 concerned the bulls had the better
u the market, prices ut the close being somewhat
higher than Al the beginning. Between
these two extremes quotations were treated
to a brief aud purgatoriai improvement,
but tho gain, TO speak, was, under
the hot are OF the bears "burnt and purgcd away
until barely little OF II left at tho end. From the
very start the market tended upward in creeping,
doubtful sort Of way-moderately plueky SO long as
nothing opposed Its RISE but ready TO scamper II any
thing did SO. Nothing coming in the way, however,
the gain made and passabiy we'll held on to-
There Indications that buyers yesterday, OF the
granger In particular were sellers to-day but
this fact, II 1t be fact, simply confirms the theory
that no comprehensive plan exists among Leading
operators as to future campaign and that tho mar
kct is given over to the nimbe sIxpenny profits
growing Of quick while It wits the slow
tied movement. The strongest stock on to-Iay's list
was Western Union, the unofficial but probably cor
rect reports OF It's earnings showing material I'M
provement last year. Tho new born activity in
Union Pacific still continues-that is to say, that Mr.
Gould has not as yet sold his mangle and that the
lavatory Is in prime working order Tho company
has declared q dividend OF * per cent. 1t was
whispered this afternoon that the government might
have something to say as TO whether the company
should be permitted TO pay II or not In view oil the
priority OF some undischargcd claims OF their own.
The way test the matter is 10 buy parcel Of stock
aud wait for tho d6nouement The reader Is FREQ to
assume any expression for the market at the close
which suits him. To different observers II may have
appeared strong steady or weak, and Of them
would have been much out OF the way in the dagnoss
RANGE OF PUNCTUATION.
Following arc the opening, highest and Lowest
price, OF stocks to-day, with tho three O'Clock
closing quotations.

When Chinese woman makes up her
mind to adopt the dress of American women,
she adopts il inits entirety, so far as a mere
man may Judge by observation Not so the
Chinaman. First, be gets rid OF the style of
shoe which, doubtless, Confucius wore and
yet which renders il almost impossible TO
keep the centre of gravity within the line of
support without constant effort. Next he
dons the trousers: at last he changes his
blause for coat, and, last of all, he cuts his
cue. The fsct that woman is the actor IN one
case, and that man is the actor in the
other, may partially explain the difference.
But it would appear that while to impartial
observation our women's dress seems in its
parts all equally good-or bad-our mems
dress is of unequal merit. The trowsers can
scarcely be improved upon, but the compar-
ison between the coat end the blouse Is not
entirely in favor of the coat 1t is impossI-
BILE 10 make ii of such style that it is equal
iy slightly and comfortable when buttOned
and unbuttoned, and, as it can not always
be worn in either way, it is about
half the time worn in a way for
which it is not intended. And besides,
it necessitafes a third garment-the
vest. On the other hand, the blouse or tunic,
while not open to these objections. does not,
to our eyes, look we'll 1t seems baggy. But
this might be obvieted by custom, by the
better making which would come with prac.
tice, and by the use of waist belt. Indeed.
a blouse with belt is very much like one
style OF coat now made; and, looks aside, the
blouse is surely superior to the coat IN the
freedom which it gives the body and
in protection against cold and wind,
while in summer it would not drive the
wearer wild by binding his shoulders. There
is much to be said for the blouse, and when
the "Mongolian hordes" sweep over this
country, from MAINE to California, and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific" it is likely
to displace the coat and vest. 1t might do
so before then il Mr.. roole's successors, OF
good Mr.. Worth, who is said TO wish to in
troduce to his customers the bifurcsted
garments in which Persian ladies are so
beautiful. would lend themselves TO the
movement.
