St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-03-30

Northwestern seemed to drag a little, probably
on account of the issue of more bonds. Lake
Shore was weak and fell away to 61H. West
Shore bonds dragged on the announcement
that the bondholders would be offered pre-
ferred stock for their bonds in reorgdniza-
ton. New York Central was rather steady,
but not very active. Deacon White was very
sanguine and bullish on his pet and offered
10315, seller 60, for any part of 10, 900 shares.
His followers said they had been buying con-
siderable Lackawanna of late and would
HOLD FOR FIVE POINTS PROFIT.
The increase in the net carvings of this
road reported yesterday is said to be between
IS, 900, and $40, 900, and to have been caused
by the unusually cold weather. There was a
quite firm undertone to the market to-day
and several of the large bears are said to
have covered their shorts at loss and
advised their friends to get off the track for a
while. In fact one general effect of the
present war rumors and probabilities thus far
has been to drive nearly all the shorts into
cover, both in stocks and grain. The next
Northwestern dividend is now about as much
of an object of uncertainty as the last one of
st. Paul was.
ALL SORTS OF REPORTS
are flying around concerning it. American
stocks in the London market were higher to-
day on large covering of the shorts. The
earnings for Omaha for the third week in
March decreased S3,700, and Lake Shore
earnings for the whole month of March are
said to be $4,000 less than last year.
After the early strength and activity, the mar
ket relaxed into quietude and prices be
came little easier and lower. In truth, the
whole world is waiting for definite informa-
ton from st. Petersburg.
