New York Aug. 10.-Pretty much all of
yesterdays loss in values was retrieved in
to-day's stock market before the definite
news was received from Washington that
a protocol had been agreed upon between
Secretary Day and NJ. Cambon, and the
no 10 lone >g lt1f
this news awakened the market into re-
newed activity after a period of cOmpar
alive dulluess and some recession in prices
and carried it to the highest point of the
day holding il within a small fraction of
a point until the close. The early strength
in the market was in spite of continued
doubt whether the whole peace negoua-
ton was not endangered by Spanish qub-
bling.
The weakness of Spanish Is in Paris
and London gave strong ground for such
apprehension. But a recovery in the
wheat market renewed the takings of
wheat for foreign account and especially
st. PauPs statement of increased earnings
for the first week in August was sufficient
to turn the tide of sentiment from yester-
days bearish disposition and to induce
shorts to cover.
Naturally the Changers lead in the days
movement, Burlington showing an ex-
tTStIe rise OF IN per cent. ana St Paul
of per cent A continued large demand
for Peoples Gas also helped the morning
movement. In the afternoons squirt prices
were sustained by the very heavy demand
for Atchison preferred, and there was
some realizing in the Changers under
cover of this movement But the close
was strong and pretty near the top at
net gains, generally of between I and 2
points. Lenders of money perhaps were
little more exacting regarding security to-
day.
Payments in the subtreasury on account
of the new bonds are large and the gov
ernments deposits with national banks
do not fully keep pace The drift of cur
rency to New York is also falling off New
ork exchange, at some of the important
domestic centers, having fallen to dis
count.
Business in bonds was comparatively
light in the early part of the day but
the demand increased and prices improv-
ed in the later dealings. Total sales,
IS, 765, 600.
Government bonds were unchanged in
. the bond price.
