A QUIET MARKET
FOR LOCAL STOCKS.
FEW REDEEMING FEATURES
SHOWN YESTERDAY.
There Was a Weak Undertone and
Orders Were Few and Far
Between-Sales Light.

Yesterdays session of the Stock Ex-
change was in quite marked contrast to
that held the day before, and this contrast
was for the worse, few redeeming features
relieving the situation, which. as q rule.
was slow. dull and undressing from every
point Of view. Sellers seemed more anx-
ious than buyers. and the consequence was
that in very many cases lower prices were
realized or went on record than otherwise
would have been the case. One Of the most
encouraging features OF the day was the
demand for: certain trust stocks. that is TO
say, Lincoln and Commonwealth, both of
which brought higher prices. the first
named II point and the last 1 point. The
heaviest trading was in Lincoln. OF which
stock 2s5 shares changed hands at q range
of s23O.5O to $231, the bulk bringing the out
side figure. This was new stock, and at the
close was bid $23O50 and offered at $231,
while the old was $232 sellers. The only
trade in Commonwealth was in small lot
of 10 shares at 1884, the close being at
$2s3.5O bid and 1884 asked. Mercantile was
weak at $3e9.5O sellers and no bids. and MS
sissippi was offered at 500. with no bids.
while Missouri was quoted at SOS bid and
$l09 asked.
The stock to attract most attention next
to trusts was United Railways, but the
trading was comparatively light and a
quiet condition of affairs prevailed during
the session. Nothing was done in the bonds
which closed as they opened, at $50 bid and
$3.50 asked. Preferred ck5started of en-
couraging, with a sale OF t30 shares at
$7S.76. but subsequent sales were at $3.50,
and that was the selling price at the Close
with $I8.25 bid. The only trade made in
Transit or common stock was in 50-share
lot at S26, at which there were sellers aft
EDWARDS, and SETS bid.
Bank stocks were in a worse neglected
condition than they were the day before.
The two features of the market were Third
National and Jefferson Bank stock. the
former on account of its very pronounced
weakness, 20 shares selling as low as SEQ
and more being offered at that. with only
$2l9.50 bid, and the latter for the big adj
vance to $50 buyers. which was so a share
higher than 1t closed the day before. Quo
tations for other bank stocks were few and
only nominal.
Westinghouse Coupler was quiet at $50
bid, at which q small lot Of s shares sold
and which appeared to be the only lot on
the market. There were no new develop
ments in Laclede Gas common. which was
salable at $94.25 bid and $95 asked
A quiet demand was had for Granite-Bi-
Metallic and Century building IS, and also
for American-Nettie mining. Sales of 200
shares were made in the first-named at
$1.95, and one $500 Century brought sos. At
one time $104.5O was bid for the latter for
$4,000. but at close they were offered at
that.
