The expression. or less common in beer inn
bibing circles. instructing tho waiter to "draw it
mild" may be applied with considerable fitness to
to-day's stock market. IN speculative way both
bulls and bears wero inclined to ",iraw it mild"
and consequently there was neither q shove up
nor . push down in prices sufficiently start
Ling to demand particular comment. During
the FIRST hour two there was a push up
ward in prices. in the second hour or two
leaning downward. and in the last hour general
bracng up which, if it did not reestablsh prices at
the opening standard, at least did good deal to-
ward it. The early part OF the day was marked by
vigorous upward squirt in the coal carriers, and
in this Delaware aud Lackawanna. Delaware and
Hudson and New Jersey Central each participated.
It had got to be sort Of "household word" in the
Board room that tho coal sale to-day would show
higher prices and that Mr.. Vanderbilt was doing
something for his own individual interest in Della
ware and Hudson. Afterward, when it became
known that the coal sale showed lower prices by
some to ten cents per ton. and doubts arose
as to Mr. vanderbilt's interest in the company
ferred to- prices of oil the coal properties dropped.
and continued more less weak to the end. The
prostrating power, ana the only which was
visible in the stock market until within hour of
the close. came from the closeness of money. Call
loans for the greater part Of the day made at
they were to be made at three. AS the
price of money eased up the quotations of

stocks to-day. Almost everything else firm to
say the least of it, and there nething weak. The
st. Paul directors met to-day and declared dividend
Of 31s per upon the preferred stock and Of
~ upon the common. This latter declaration is
worthy of white chalk mark for il we remember
correctly it is the first dividend announced upon the
common stock in tho history of the company.
While the pinch in money at one time brought sell

and the return of currency from the West which
shortly set in, there appears to be little
