New York, Aug. l0.-During the past few
days the stock market has shown an i'm
proving tendency, based on the idea that the
tariff conferees were getting together and
that bill Of some sort would shortly be sub
mitted TO the House and Senate, On this
theory operators were disposed to assume
new obligations, and trading took on an APP
