edged securities. and certain brokers report good
inquiry for issues Of the st. Paul preferred and
Chicago and Northwestern preferred class In times

clined to buy the high priced stocks rather than
the cheaper securities and in the last few days an
instance of this tendency has been reflected in \
good demand for st. Paul preferred which nets on
the investment over per cent. 1t is understood
that large block of the stock has just been sold
at private sale. On the Stock Exchange one hun
dred shares of the preferred stock changed bards
