The stock market yesterday was q most
satisfactory one from the point of view OF
the bulls, prices all over the list reaching
new high levels, in some cases the highest
OF the year and for several years and buy
ing being of good quality and volume
during the greater part OF the session.
There was important realizing by small
holders in the afternoon and prices went
off, but the net gains for the day were
greater than The losses. An increasing
number of brokers and traders are of the
opinion that the market is on the perma-
nent up turn at last, and that during the
remainder OF the summer and autumn the
tendency wrll be upward to much higher
prices ultimately. It is not believed that
there will be an immediate radical change
in the character of the speculation from
the dullness that has prevailed recently to
an overwhelming briskness, but no more
entire weeks of fiat days are expected.
And 1t is not believed either that there
will be no profit taking and consequent de-
clines from time TO time. The recession of
yesterday came naturally enough after the
steady advance of nearly a week, and there
will be other similar declines. Ii is even
probable that prices may sag further to-
day. The chief new encouraging factor in
the situation is the awakened interest of
the public, and this 1t is believed will
cause the leaders of speculation to advance
the market. There is not much possibil-
ity that prices will be allowed TO get back
to the level OF two and three weeks ago, as
the present holders of securities are not
people with narrow margins who win be
| frightened by small bear raids, but the
| most important interests in the street who
| intend to sell out at very much higher
prices. The advice given by competent
| people last night was to buy securities
this morning on any further declines.

learned upon reliable authority, last

of the wage difficulty.
They hope that, from the tone Of the
Textile Councils latest statements, a
compromise which may contain a def
mite promise OF an early advance and
the adoption of sliding scale of wage
payments will be effected.
a prominent labor leader said, last
evening. that. provided the Manufac-
ate advance. together with a fair
schedule of wages. sliding either up or
down. il would be considered by the
council and offered to the operatives
for adoption. Such action as this would
be followed without either side reced-
ing from its previous course.
Another member, however. thought
that the adoption of a sliding scale
would require too much time and con-
sideration. and that it would be i'm
possible to come to a definite agree
ment on that point within the time
named in the ultimatum of the council.
When asked if the council would ex-
tend the time named in the last de-
mand. he refused to reply.

all the Boer forces participated. The

effect. They adopted the unusual tao
tics Of advancing under cover of their

kopJes adjacent to those occupied by

Continuing their advance. the Beers

cover our infantry opened with a
steady. warm and accurate fire, which
beat back the enemy. notwithstanding

trench in front of the British lines, and
While withdrawing for their horses they
left this unguarded. whereupon the
Kings Rifles. advancing at double

This smart movement was not seen
by the enemy. who soon returned with
the horses. Carefully reserving their
fire. the Kings Rifles allowed the Beers
to advance almost to the edge Of the
trench, and then poured volley after
volley into the astounded Beers. who
turned and fled from an awful hail OF

Meanwhile another section OF the
