Review of Trade.

New York, Jan. 2S--St. Paul was the
most prominent stock in the opening
dealings, and was carried up from l5512
to 156, under a simultaneous transfer OF
5000 shares. compared With 1555s on Sat
urday The stock ran off to l55, and
then vibrated feverishly above that.
There were good fractional gains all
through the list. Dealings We're ami
mated and widely distributed. Trading
became very confused and stocks of
different groups, or even the same
group, took opposite courses. Steel and
Wire, Tin Plate and Federal Steel re-
acted ~ and =, the last selling extra
dividend of 5 per cent While Smelling
and Tube sold up am extreme of 2A
points. Consolidated Gas and Brooklyn
Transit fell sharply and Manhattan and
Metropolitan made good gains. Among
the railroads St. Paul mounted sharply
nearly points above Saturday to 1854
on very heavy transactions and pulled
the preferred stock five to 1917. Kan
sas & Texas preferred lost a point ear
ly, but when block of 10000 shares
was taken at 544, it rallied to SO. The
Changers and Northern Pacific We're
strong in sympathy with st. Paul, Bur-
lington rising nearly 9 points and
Northern Pacific 49,. The railroad list
generally showed strength, but met
heavy profit taking, and when St. Paul
fell back two points the buying de-
mand slackened and prices declined all
around. Brooklyn Transit dropped 21s.
Considerable Rroads We're made in
prices of special stocks after II o'clock.
st. Paul dropped on light transactions
without sign Of support to 1545s, full
point under Saturday. Burlington,
Rock Island, Northern Pacific, Missouri
Pacific, Delaware & Hudson and Erie
first preferred lost 1d1R. A rally to 156
in St. Paul and a drop of point in
Northwestern steadied the market. Be
fore noon Steel and Wire and Federal
Steel improved sharply. and there was
some demand for the transactions.
Business. however, was almost at a
StandStill.
Bonds were active and firm.

charges VulRar Taste.

Excessive ornamentation Is a dis tiuctive feature of the work of Ameri- can tales who follow American models It is the vulgar taste of the 'nouyeau riche' to which Yankee cut ters cater Men of high breeding patronize tailors who use English models. English gentlemen aim to dress smartly but inconspicuously. Neatness the American wants. His clothes speak for themselves. He likes freakish oddities eloquent of rank inventive genius. His dinky straw hat this summer gives we'll bred English men the shivers. America may lead the world in some things, but Eng land remains the authority on elegant and correct dress"
 An American cutter employed in an English tailoring establishment said: MT. Vincent's criticism of English and American clothes suggests that little travel would help him. He mistakes his insular prejudice for reliable criterion of style. Like most of his country men, he shies at American Ideas and puts them down as the frivolous eccen- tricities of our national youth.

Stands by His Assertion.

w. L.. Vincent, editor of The Tailor and cutter, said to The Record Herald correspondent tonight: "l meant ex- actly what I said. All American gen. tlemen wear stays. That is~how the Yankee tailor obtains his tight fit. We know this is true because of the de- mand for stays. Where there is de- mand there must be a market. The market is not here. so it must be in America.
 "A skin- tight fit Is neither aristocrat- ic nor comfortable. The dress in which American men are seen daily promenading Crystal Palace is a strik- ing example of style an Englishman finds extremely irksome. In, any gathering the workmanship of the Eng fish tailor may be distinguished. He gladly welcomes comparison. Ameri- cans do not begin to rival us in the do- main of dress.

criticises English Styles.

English coats and trousers, like English boots, suggests the rude art of the American mound builder. The average typical English dress suit makes it's wearer look like comedian. The loud checks so common in this country date from Alfred the Great and outrage the most elementary principles of taste in dress. As a manufacturer England iags behind because she imagines herself safely in front.
 If one sees style in dress on the streets of London, one usually finds it on the backs of Americans"
