STOCK MARKET BUOYANT.
The Prospect of an Early Peace
Causes n Rapid Advance

New York, Aug. 10.-Yesterday's gloomy
views as to the character of the Span
ish note upon the conditions of peace
laid down by this Government, which
were entertained by the diplomats of the
board room, We're quite dissipated today.
With the general outside situation, up
on which the current movement in the
stock market rests, unchanged in any
respect, there was nothing left for the
their outstanding contracts, and this they
did with some urgency. In consequence
the general stock market advanced quite
rapidly this morning, with the Granger
shares the conspicuous features, though
not overshadowing the remainder of the
list. The days movement in the mar
ket was simply a resumption of that of
Monday, which was interrupted yester-
day by the already noted misgivings in
regard to the tenor of the Spanish note
When that much has been said little is
left of the story of the days market. In
the days rise the granger stocks at
tanned the highest prices at which they
have been quoted in ten years and more.
The special strength and activity in these
stocks seemed to be owing entirely to the
general opinion that their current rates
of dividends are assured for an indef-
mite period, and that increases from the
present figures may be reasonably ex-
pected in the future The market was
exceedingly broad and active throughout
the day. Notwithstanding the extent to
which the granger shares absorbed spec
ulative interest, there were large deal
ings in the industrial stocks, the lower
priced shares. and in a number of the
specialties- The only important group of
stocks that was wholly neglected was the
anthracite coal family.
Little was done on balance in this mar
ket for foreign account, but both Amer
lean stocks and Spanish As in Lon
don reflected peace prospects.
Atchison preferred Missouri Pacific,
General Electric, Louisville and Nash
vile and Southern Railway were especial
ly prominent in the trading.
Slightly higher rates for money on call
induced profit realizing sales in the final
dealings under which there were gen
eral recessions from the highest prices of
the day.

HOW IT GIVES THE NEWS.
The Associated Press Suppresses am
important Document

New York, Aug. 10-In it's pretensions
the Associated Press is an association
for dissemination of legitimate news. 1t
has shown abundantly of late that, in
fact, it is an association for the manufac-
ture and distortion of news, and it has
now gone into the business OF suppress
ing news which is not in accord with the
political leanings of its master minds.
That the newspapers which it serves
are of various political compilations has
no influence with its managers. They
refused a few days ago to send out an
important and industrial document pre-
pared by the American Protective Tariff
League for no better reason than that
majority of the governing board are OPP
posed to protection. The board stands
ten free traders and five protectionists.
The document was furnished by T. u.
Cowles. editor of the Economist for use
in today's papers. 1t is a comparison of
industrial conditions in the Spring of
this year with those obtaining in the
Spring of 1895, the report being the work
of Representative Robert w. Taylor, of
Ohio.
When the report was first given TO the
Associated Press MI CoWleS was IN
formed that the organization might wish

of the detail figures. Consequently he
