St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-06-10

In the final dealings business was at COM
plete standstill and perfect indifference
characterized the dealings on either side.
Oregon railroad was weak feature, while
Manitoba was firm, as il is believed it will
soon pass into other hands. The market
closed weak for the Changers, which were
sold freely, on the reports of frost in the
Northwest.
NEW YORK, June Estate bonds were very
dull and quotations generally firm. Govern
ment bonds were quiet and quotations firm,
the IS advancing u on the price bid. The
railway bond market was comparatively dull
to-day, the total sales amounting 10 only $751;
000 of (which Erie I'd consols contributed
S226,000. There were also some sales OF
Denver & Rio Grande Western lists, Missouri,
Kansas u Texas general Us, Canada Southern
lists, and West Shore lists. Prices this even
ing, as compared with the last previous sales,
are generally higher, but the changes in
many cases are only for small fractions. 1t is
stated by persons in a position to know that
the holders OF first mortgage bonds OF the
Nickel road will push foreclosure proceedings
as soon as the consent of one-half of the hold
ers is obtained and the ninety days from June
l have elapsed Nearly one-half OF the hold
erS have already consented.
This has been another very dull and alto
gether uninteresting day in the stock market.
The total sales of los, l03 shares foot up a few
hundred shares less than yesterday, and OF
to-day'S business four stocks, ST. Paul, North
western, Lackawanna and Union Pacific con-
tributed over IS per cent, but there was no
special feature developed in the trading, even
OF the stocks mentioned.
THROUGHOUT THE FORENOON
the market was very steady, generally at
small fractions above the opening figures, but
at midday the changes we're only for Is to 4
per cent for the more active stocks. A mod
crate advance was made after IL O'Clock,
which was lost before 2 p. III. and then prices
were steady again until just before the close,
when the whole list, so far as there was any
trading, weakened and q large portion OF the
earlier advance was lost. The break was
checked with the closing quotations and the
market closed barely steady, with prices OF
the most active stocks about midway
between the highest aud lowest
remembered, however, that the extreme fiuc-
tuations were for less than 1 per cent, the
insignicance of the changes will be apparent.
The closing prices show advances of e to IS
per cent. for most of the active list North
western being the only exception, which was
steady all day, within a small fraction OF the
figures at which it closed last evening, until
after it sold ex-dividend. The last sale divi-
dend ON it was at 93b and the first
sale ex-dividend of 80 per cent.
was 9O1s, from which it broke
before 8 o'clock to S91a, and closed at
$685. net loss of p per cent. With sales of
only 800 shares Oregon Railway Navigation
dropped per cent, and ON small business
Oregon Transcontinental is down q per cent.
A part of yesterdays heavy break in the
Omahas was recovered to-day, the common
advancing "a and the preferred ~ per cent.

013 shares, including Delaware, Lackawanna
York Central, 1900; Pacific Mail. $3.50; St.
Paul. %, $40; Union Pacific, 1890; Western
