NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest ofExchange News Mining Stocks
Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements-Grsin and Pro-
d~uce-Review of Trade.

New York, Aug. l5.-The market for
stocks was remarkably active and buoy
ant to-day. Their was an occasional halt
in the upward tendency when the price
of some leading stocks was advanced to
a level which invited unusually heavy Of
ferings. But no volume of offerings
seemed sufficient to check the steady up
ward tendency of the market, and every
thing was absorbed with eagerness. ST.
Paul took the lead of the market with a
rise of 3s per cent. and the total trans
actions of the day footed UP to g. 100
shares. This advance was undoubtedly
due to the movement Of a large combi-
nation of speculative interests. and was
based primarily on the fact that the ad-
vance in the price hitherto has been incom-
mensurate with that in the other promi-
nent grangers The reason for this was
probably that the stock has been more
largely held abroad than the other gran
gers. England's unfavorable trade bal
ance and the strong market presented i'm
New York for profit taking Of course have
been the motives for selling. but II was
nevertheless effective i'm holding back the
price of st. Paul. II is now said that
these London offerings have been solidly
absorbed by the powerful speculative
clique which started the present bull
movement in Burlington and shifted the
leadership to st. Paul. The buying was
accompanied by rumors that the next
semi-annual dividend of . per cent will be
supplemented by an extra dividend. The
preferred stock was bid up 80 per cent
to-day and the high grade bonds of the
company were also very strong. st. Paul
was the conspicuous center Of the market
and the other grangers were uniformly
strong. The buying of the Northern Pa
Cifc continued very large and aggressive.
The strength spread from the leaders as
the day progressed and embraced a con-
tinually growing list of stocks. most OF
which show gains between ] and 2 points
and many of them In excess of that.
Sugar and Manhattan were depressed
throughout. There was no special news
TO account for the rise, which was rather
due to the growth of a general conviction
that the conclusion of peace will give
full scope TO the extraordinarily favorable
conditions i'm the country. embraced in
large crops at profitable prices. easy mon
ey conditions and continuing favorable
trade balances.
Business in bonds was on a somewhat
reduced scale. and there was a tendency
TO reaction at some points in the list.
probably due TO the diversion of capital
into stocks. Total sales. 81. 6S5. 900. United

Great Falls Is Accused of Drawing the
Color Line.

Great Falls Is Accused of Drawing the
Color Line.
The following communication from a
Great Falls colored man is self-explana-
tory:
To the Editor Of the Anaconda Stand
ard:
Permit me the use of small space in
your columns to say the following:
A few evenings since while strolling
along the principal streets of Great
Falls, accompanied by a lady, j passed
al establishment where iced soft drinks,
ice cream and confectioneries are dis
played for sale to the public. The even
ing being warm, we passed within and
were seating ourselves at a small table
provided for the entertainment of GUS
toners, when we were rudely spoken to
and reminded in n curt and ungentc-
Iianly name that we would not be
served, as we were colored. OF course,
we went elsewhere. The incident above
referred to is one that happens not in
frequently in cities of the free n lib
e~rty-loving" West. In the half-savage
and semi-barbarous districts of the far
South such occurrences are not uneX-
pected. But here, where a number n
variety of the races go to make up the
population and where no memories Of
domination by one race on part of the
other exists, IL looks a little inc~ongruous,
not TO say ridiculous. Now, | wish to
make this plea to the white people OF
the state: That there are, as they well
know, some colored people who are
striving with heart and soul to elevate
themselves and to initiate those better
qualities displayed in the habits and
conduct of the refined and cultured por-
ton of the white race. We ask that
some discrimination be made by the
people at large between this class of our
people and the idle, dissolute n shift
less class who are no credit to any
community. We need the encourage
ment and help of the whites in order
to develop in ourselves those qualities,
the lack of which they often make an
excuse for debarring colored people
from various public places. That many
negroes are insolent and degraded we
sadly admit: that there are many whose
conduct is such that persons of culture
and refinement abhor their presence, is
beyond question, but we think that the
people, and especially the managers and
proprietors of places of public amuse-
ment. do us an injustice and incalcul-
able harm when they act as in the Incl
dent above referred to. The discourage
ing and depressing effect of such ac-
ton Is often seen when a young negro,
aspiring to obtain the good will of the
better class of whites, suddenly goes to
the bad without apparent cause, and
thus the very things which are charged
against us are encouraged by our &C
cusers. What we ask is to be differen-
tiated from "niggers," as the term is
commonly used; TO know, feel and see
that a white man knows a lady or a gen.
tleman when he sees one and that it is
some advantage to be a good citizen and
a respectable member of the commun-
ity. To refuse us privileges accorded
others and to treat-al persons of color
as ''niggers'' is as unwise as 1t is hurt
full to our people and disgTaceful to the
fair name of our common state.

TWO GOOD CAMP STONES.
An Army Teamster Treated for Csrbolic

There they pumped him out.
A half hour later he insisted on leav-
ing the hospital and returning to his
camp. He was all right. He had work
to do. Besides, he wanted to see how
his pard was. So he mounted his mule
and galloped away.
A half hour later he was back again,
having ridden up to the hospital heller

into the office.

geon.
