STOCK. MARKET FIRM.
The Tone OF Thurxday's Closing Has
Its Effect.


New York, Aug. 26.-The somewhat firm
dealings yesterday made further develop
ment in this mornings market. 1t was
most pronounced in the granger shares
and in Northern Pacific and Union Pacific.
Foreign houses had large orders in this
market and on both sides of the account,
but their purchases preponderated to the
extent of about 10000 shares. These deal
ings were heaviest in the Pacific stocks,
the arbitrage houses selling Northern Pa
ciiic largely and buying about equal
amount of Union Pacific Transactions
elsewhere were on fair scale in prac
tically all the internationally listed
shares.
The cabled adyices reported the London
market for American stocks as strong and
giving evidence of increasing interest on
the part of both English and Continental
operators.
The foreign exchange market was weak
as result of the altered dispositions of
the foreign dealings here and also by rea-
son of the frmer tone in the local money
market.
Money lenders generally advanced the
rates on call loans to 2 per cent, and
more urgent inquiry for time aecommoda-
ton was reported. The.,routine crcum-
stances of the day were practically con-
fined to the hardening of the money mar
ket and 10 the returns of traffic earnings
reported by a number of roads.
Aside from the granger and Pacific
shares, the largest measure of interest
appeared in Sugar Refining, the Atchison
shares, Southern Railway preferred, Lou
isville and Nashville, Peoples Gas and
American Tobacco. Sugar. advanced very
sharply in the early dealings.
The market was not uniformly strong
The trading at the close was animated
and the tone of the market was in the
main very firm.

The stock market showed great strength
yesterday. 1t was broad and for the most
part active. London was a considerable
buyer on balance and the New York
traders bought well, evidently having
fair confidence that prices are TO go
higher. One of the good features of the
day was that the public was in the mar
ket quite extensively, joining the happy
bulls after a day or two of absence. In
the last hour there was some recession
from the highest prices of the day but
the undertone was very strong at the
close.
