New York, Aug. 1S.--The course Of
prices on the stock exchange today
was, With one or two unimportant eX-
ceptions, toward higher values and the
market closed strong at or near the
best figures touched. The causes which
led to this upward movement were the
strength of American securities on the
London stock exchange, good buying
by the arbitrage and, perhaps chief Of
all, the confidence impaired to the
street by the declaration of the regu-
lar dividend in Burlington s. Quincy.
The action Of the Burlington directors
has been taken to mean that they be-
lieve in an immediate revival of bust
ness, and do not believe that the corn
crop has been annihilated. Covering of
short contracts was steady. There was
bidding for the long stuff. and there
wass very little evidence Of desire of
the traders to get out of the market
over Sunday, except on the part of
shorts. There was good purchasing for
a rise beyond the mere advance of
day and the trading was quite conf
