NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept S.-St. Paul made the
market this morning and broke this morning.
Trading not a large scale during the
day and all interest centered in the meeting
of the St. Paul directors TO act the divi-
6end. The rumor mongers fixed the dividend
rate on the common all the way from 2i2 to
81 per cent Those who said that 1t would
be PA found little credence and the continued
firmness OF the stock IN the face of the recent
heavy tone of the market and the confident
and heavy buying Of the early hours of to-day
seemed to justify this incredulity. There was
large buying Of st. Paul here for London ac-
count and there was very active trading upon
ing TO cahled reports. The price was rushed
up to lis without any attention being
given to warning statements that very power
ful interests in the directorate were opposed
to anything more than the 2l2 per cent rate.
The eager bulls pointed that the recent in
crease in the Burlington dividend kept
enshrouded in the mystery up to the
moment Of its declaration, when the stock led
violent upward movement The showing OF
the company for the last fiscal year was cited
as confirming the confidence in increased
dividend disbursement the earnings applica-
BILE to the common stock having amounted to
BIO per cent after extraordinarily heavy ex-
penditures for improvements charged to oper-
attng expenses. When the announcement came
about z:30 p. m, that the directors had made
the second annual dividend only 21a per cent,
the price dropped without check, except for
momentary pause at each even number, to
1l0h, which was ~ per cent below the best.
NUMEROUS blocks of many thousand shares
were thrown the market with precpitate
eagerness and the market speedily took on
panicky conditions. Rock Island fell in sym

New England, was carried through in
spite of a majority In the colonies-a ma

The Indifferent, who had lent no helping

order of things as they had swayed in
power and direction of the blast Of war.
