EXCITEMENT ON CHANGE.
Sensational Features Attend the
Trading in Wall Street.

New York. Aug. lS.-In the volume of
business in the early dealings today the
stock market presented sensational feat
ureS. There was a magnificent contest
in the first hour between the bears and
bulls. After a strong opening the attacks
of the professional operators. assisted by
a disposition on the part of some of the
traders for bullish account to take profits
resulted in declines Of from / to points
in the general list.
The most sensational feature of the
in the stock of the New York Air Brake
Company to 100, against IS 1-2, the clos
ing price yesterday. t-
The advance in this stock in the past
few months has been one of the most
remarkable improvements in the value
of an originally lew-priced stock in the
experience of Wall Street. On April 5
last the stock sold on the Exchange at
IA.
While the attack on the market was
making on the floor of the exchange.
there was great excitement in all the
brokers' offices in Wall Street. Orders
came thick and fast and the street was
continually alive with hustling messen-
gers and clerks. On every reaction fresh
buying orders poured into the market.
The visitors gallery on Change was
crowded with sightseeres who had come
to witness the excitement which at

the ships in the Baltic Sea, so. that in
less than seven days her entire fleet could
be concentrated in either sea, without
being exposed at any time to the war
ships of the enemy.
The commencement of this great stra-
tegic canal again brings to notice the
necessity for the Nicaragua Canal. The
recent feat of the Oregon in making the
long t.ip from San Francisco to Key
West is remarkable, and it is a powerful
object lesson and brief for the construc-
ton of great interoceanic canal, under
the control of the United States of Amer
lea. which would bring our Atlantic and
Pacific coasts within about one-third of
the distance each of the other that they
are now. Admiral Walker promises the
report of the Nicaragua Canal Commits
sion in the near future. His statement
that the project is feasible, and that the
cost will be about s125, 100000, will. help
prepare the public mind for the report,
which will find American citizens more in
terested in an isthmian canal than ever
before.

The expenditure for naval work in
many countries Is far greater than ever
before and the effect of this is shown not
only in the laying down of new ships and
the building of ordnance. but also in the
creation of naval stations at home and
naval bases of supply and repair abroad.
and the field of activity has even been
enlarged so as TO admit of the construc-
tion of extensive engineering works in the
shape of canals for the purpose of rapid
concentration of fleets of war vessels. The
most extensive works of this kind is that

the waters of the Baltic and Black Seas.
The canal will have a length of over 1000
miles, and the primary object is for stra-
tegic purposes. but at the same time Il
will be of great commercial importance.
Beginning at the Riga, the canal follows
the course of the river Duna as far as
Dunaburg, and from there an excavation
