NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Aug. 10.-The long ex-
pected rally in the stock market came
to-day, although of course the gains
scored were not commensurate with
the material declines that occurred
last week. Business was fairly extern
sive and fairly well distributed, and
while the trend of prices was upward,
the movement was irregular. An
agreeable diversion to the long pre-
vailing professional character of the
market was furnished by the pur-
chases for foreign account and the exc
cution of moderate commission house
orders. The initial source of the rally
was higher prices in London and arbi-
trative purchases. In q number of in
stances the fluctuations recorded were
quite wide. The important influences
bearing upon to-day's market were
early strength and eventual ease in
call money rates and a steadily declin-
ing market for foreign exchange. The
Government crop report, as usual, was
not published until some time after the
close of business. The closing was
strong. with net gains of / to 2 per
cent. throughout.
The bond market ruled regular with
decided strength to the speculative is
sues in sympathy with the rally in the
stock market. Improvement of to
PA were scored. The high priced
mortgages continued to sag with inn
portant concessions generally. The
sales were 81, 1868, 900.

THE U CAMPAIGN
1t Is Looked Upon as a Precursor of a
Serious War.

London, March 1.-THE ministerial
statement and iscussion in the house
of commons fully establishes that the
British advance upon the Sudan de-
notes the initiation of a policy by the
British government which may be
fraught with most far reaching and
possible disastrous consequences. Ar
thur Balfour, speaking for the cabinet,
practically admitted that Dongola
would probably not be the destination.
but only the hating place OF the An
glo-Egyptian forces. His illusions to
the ~desirability of bringing the bless
ing of British rule to the Soudan were
interpreted as indicating that the Brit
ish government was bent upon war.
not for defense, but Of conquest of that
whole section. Sir Charles Dixie
made a pIofound impression by his
able and wcighty exposition of vho
dangers and rG-aplicat,cnz-not only in
Central africa, but in Europe. which
would be entailed by such Il policy.
Tae reception of his speech shows that
lie hes now largely regained the in
1uenCe he lost when driven from pub
lie life 10 years ago.
The liberals will oppose the Soudan
campaign, and they expect that it VIII
make the government unpopular in
the country as its perils are only too
apparent, while the advantages, even
if successful, are nebulous in the high
est degree.
Unless popular cutlery stays Sails
bury's hand it may well happen that
the long expected casus belli which is
to bring about Il gcneral European
cataclysm may be provided. not By
trouble at Constantinople or in the
Balkans, or in the far East. but by the
clashing of French. German and Brit
ish interests in Africa. and especially
in the race now begun in good earncs-
for the possession of the unappropri-
ated portions of the valley of the up
per Nile.

the knowledge, that SO many forms of
