PANAMA, Aug. "a, 1859
The last West India mail steamer brought the
mails from the interior Of the Republic, the dates
being Bogota, July %, Santa Marta, August7, Car
thagens, August g. In the capital on the goth Of
Jsiy, the Independence day of Columbia, lees IN
forest WAS manifested than on former occasions.
A few professions of artzans, religious ceremonies
in some Of the churches, and a review of the na-
tional troops alone marked the event. There was
none of that enthusiasm that marks Fourth Of
Jbly in fact, it is not the Spanish character to
rush into such manifestations of joy as our people
DO. A solemn procession, formal reception by
the authorities all Grafton, and perhaps bull fight,
with few fireworks constitute public holiday,
in which everything is conducted with the sclemnity
Of q funeral. In the present case il is not to be
wondered at that people showed so little disposition
to make merry for the critical state of the country
the revolutionary movements in some of the States
and the unpopulaTity of the Ospina Administration
are quite sufficient reasons 10 throw damper on
the spirits of the most enthusiastic lover of his
country.
In the State of Cundinamarca the Conservative
party have obtained large majority in the cleo
tons. For Governor the vote was IL, e22 against
5,I75 for the Liberal party. For Senators, ll3l6
against 436i, aud for deputies 1850 against 2tO7.

SATtEDAl, Aug. ~ VI
The stock market was quite active this morning.
and considerable excitement prevailed during the
session Prices went up rapidly on each call, and at
the close the still bdoyant and strong Inc
rapid advance is bringing out considerable stock, aud
while the commission brokers arc receiving al III
creased number Of outside orders on time, they also
find better employment in selling cash stock. There
were no signs of reaction during the day and although
prices at the close ofbusiness scarcely as high as
at one time after the adjournment vi the Board II
must still be called strong and welLsustained
market. The speculative steam is generating
with considerable rapidity, and it viii be al
exception to the general rueeven admitting that Inc
market is rising one-if we do not presently meet
with turn of De tide This was evidently expected
for a day or two past; but the movements have had
more real strength and support outside of the Stock
Exchange than was generally supposed. Pacific
Mail, which was the first Of the speculative shares
which came up for consideration jumped up 10 81 on
the call but fell off afterward TO s., at which 1t was
offered at the close. The efforts OF the parties oper-
atipg in this stock are TO make the shorts
pay handsomely on maturing contracts, and
thus far they have been quite success
ful. New.York Central was in active demand
and on the second call advanced to ~, a. which 1t
closed firm. The Western shares, were in lively de-
msnd but the transactions not unusually large,
partly from difficulty in filing orders at limits ami the
reluctance to buy discretionary orders at the high
points touched The NEST decided rise was in Galens
which from o., yesterday afternoon opened at 6S,
aud sold as high as g. on the cal. The demand for
this stock was increased by the defsult of one o.
the operators on short account TO make his
deliveries. Rock Island wss in good request sales
alec, from the start, ard the last registered
were g; 6j,. Toledo advanced 23I with considera-
be animation, and wss in demand a. the close. There
were dealings TO fair extent in Harlem Preferred,
and prices were better although the advance less
decided than in other stocks. Reading, also, was a
fraction better but did not fully sympsthIe with the
general market. Michigan Central advanced ?
cen. on small sales. The dealings in Southern Guar
srteed smaller than usus and the stock
seemed 10 hsrg fire" little, although steady

CROTON WATER ALL RIGHT AGAIN
Results of Chemical Analysis.
NOTHING pELETERIous DISCOVERED.

TIE Croton Board have sent US for publication the
sbowng elaborate reports, by two celebrated chemists
Of the results Of careful and complete examination into
tbe quality and component parts Of the water with
which the City of Nes-York is supplied:
CRoToS AQUEDucr BOARD, ROrUSDA, PARK,
NEw.loRK, Aug y, 1889.
The unpleasant taste OF the Croton water in the early
par, of the month induced the Croon Aqueduct Board
~ cal upon Messrs. Chiffon aud Torrey to make a
tAor0ugh chemical examination.
The reports of those gentlemen are herewith su6.
mted 10 the public, and 1t is confidently believed viii
prove as satisfactory TO the community a. they have
been to this Board. The Board would take this op.
potunty Of saying, that from the first appearance of
the Objectionable taste in the water every available
means has been employed to discover the cause and
couhteract its effect and happy TO adj that, in
few DAYS the entire renewal Of the in the pipes
and in the reservoirs will do away with the last trace
of ssythipg Objectionable in its taste.
