Like the faneurs VINO saunter along the boule-
wards OF Paris without particular aim or object.
prices to-day on Change were inclined to loafng
sort of existence. which afforded but little induce
ment to speculation upon the part of either bull
bear. 1t consequently happened that values remained
steady and without material change. Financial
practitioners with their fingers upon the pulse Of
the market) were inclined to report favorably upon
the condition Of the patient. and their opinion was
borne out by the recovery which, in the later part OF
the day. marked most of the active stocks. Taken
for all in all, the market rather bulsh than
bearish. That Mr.. Vanderbilt was - large
seller of Lake Shore yesterday is authorita-
lively denied. although the theory exists that
while he will for the future be content with the con-
trolling influence Of this road his main efforts will
be directed to the Improvement Of Michigan Central
and Canada Southern. Certainly events pointed this
way to-day, for. while Lake Shore hung sluggishly
about the pvoting point Of TO- the other two stocks
advanced nearly per cent With its immensely
watered capital Lake Shore may be regarded Old
Man of the Sea. which Mr.. Vanderbilt in tho
character of Sinbad the Sailor may nd inconvenient
70 carry much lighter weight. and from all ap-
pearances much more profitable one. is to be found
in his ownership of Michigan Central. which cost
him little, and of Canada Southern which cost him
next to nothing. It is quite upon the
cards. therefore. that Lake Shore may be
left to shift for itself, while the last
mentioned properties will be strictly cared for In
this event it would to be good judgment to
back Michigan Central and Canada Southern in pref
erence to Lake Shore. particularly since the first
named stock is expected to be ranked among the
eight per cent dividend payers and the latter has
little hopes Of returning more than six. Jay Gould
attempted to spread wet blanket over the market
