A screw worked by high speed quad.
ripple or multiple expansion engine is un.
dOubtodly the best means of propulsion
for u merchant steamer engaged in deep
sea trade, but for shallow water naviga-
ton side wheeler is preferable, for as a
propelling instrument the paddle wheel is
not inferior to the screw, while it's action
is quicker in stopping and starting the
hull, and side wheelers can back on a
straight course, which cannot be accom-.
plished by screw steamer. Moreover, a
side wheeler docs not sag at the stern when
under way, and this is very important
feature in its favor. The screw is more
liable to be disabled by picking up sub,
merged log or by striking some such oh.
struction and breaking two or more blades.
This Is not an unusual occurrence.
AS regards the soaworthiness of side
wheel steamers the immunity from dis.
aster enjoyed by such lines as the Holy
head packets, the isle Of Man steamers and
the Greensboro Flushing boats should be
sufficient to prove their stanchness for
channel service, but more signal proof
Of their safety may be cited.

LOST HIS HAT.

When the knau sailed this morn
ing Il young man from Il well known
firm came down to the wharf on his
bicycle to send off letter that con
tanned (as all late lettcrs!) inn ortant
business matters. But. alas, he was
too late to reach the steamer or to
jump in one of the boats. and so,
without one seconds hesitation he
took off his felt hat, wrapped the let
ter in it and elegantly threw the par
eel in one of the boats. The letter will
reach its destination, but if the young
man thinks his hat will come back he
will get badly left.

The World of Business

The Wall street market was wobbly
yesterday and though the prices at the
close were above the opening after quite
active fluctuations, the tone at the close
was most unsatisfactory, viewed from
our desire for boom. The position taken
in this column On the morning of inaug-
uration need not be modified as yet. The
public has not yet shown its desire to
get into the market. Commission buying
was as noticeably absent yesterday as it
has been ali along, for weeks and months
past. The boom was entirely a senti-
mental one, and win need support if it is
to hold its advanced prices. Such a mar
ket, doomed by professionals on hopes
has an awful tumble inevitably the mo-
ment il yields with the slightest freedom
to the professionals on the ether side
We have had enough examples of this to
warn US il we would only remember cur
former experiences. But traders don'tlea

the world. if as well. This drop Is due

pecially as a sharp rise in New York
Central was accompanied by reports that
plans are on foot to refund the high in
terest- hearing bonds of the company on

case OF Lake Shore. The advance in prices
was equal to z to 2 per cent. In the
afternoon reaction set in, the Immediate
cause being advices, from London that the
English and Continental markets closed de- !

prevailing in regard to the situation in

The st. Paul dividend meeting will be

deDd of per cent on the common stock
Will be declared, payable some time in
April. Nearly $4,000 shares OF st. Paul
changed hands yesterday. People connected
with the st. Paul road say that, in their
opinion, there is no better per cent bond
inthe market thanfts4 per cents especially
inview of the fact that very large amount
of underlying bonds will in the next few
years be converted into preferred stock
When this is done there will be great
