ness.

NEW YORK. August l5.-The market for
stocks was remarkably active and buoy
ant all of to-day. There was an occa-
sional halt in the upward tendency when
the price of some leading stock was ad-
vanced to level which invited unusually
heavy offerings. But no volume of offer
ines seemed sufficient to check the steady
upward tendency Of the market. and
everything was absorbed with eagerness.
THE STRENGTH SPREAD.
The strength spread from the leaders
as the day progressed, and embraced a
continually growing list of stocks. most
Of which show gains OF between ! and 2
points. and many of them in excess OF
that, Sugar and Manhattan were de-
pressed throughout. There was no special
news 10 account for the rise, which was
rather due TO the growth OF general
conviction that the conclusion or peace
will give full scope to the extraordinarily
favorable conditions i'm the country en-
braced in large crops at profitable prices
easy money conditions, and continuing
favorable trade DdldnCt. ne uiuiNiPis
ing signs of business activity in all lines
strengthen the conviction in the country's
continued prosperity.
THE BUSINESS IN BONDS.
Business in bonds was on a somewhat
reduced scale, and there was tendency
| TO reaction at some points in the list
probably due to the diversion or capital

Gen. Graham's Evidence.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Gen. Gra-
ham continued his testimony before
the war investigation commission to-
day. He furnished a statement show
ing the per cent of his command sick
from the 1st of May to the 30th of
September. The statement showed a
gradual increase for the entire period,
the highest being per cent toward
the end of September. Gen. Graham
believed the crowding of tents to-
gether at Camp Alger responsible
more than any other cause for the
sickness. Graham stated that when
the commissary supplies were plenti-
full the men were often without pre-
scribed food because the regimental
officers were not sufficiently impressed
with the Importance of drawing food.
The general also found many of them
ignorant of the methods of preparing
requisitfons.
