MANILA. March s.-ia a. m. The United
States transport Ohio arrived yesterday.
In the last two days there has been a
very noticeable change IN Manila fer the
better. probably due 10 the arrival of re-
Inducements for the American troops.
Numbers of people are seen upon the
streets. and the amount of business trans
acted in the stores has marveiously In
creased. Yesterday the Lueneia was
blocked with carriages for the first time
since the outbreak. and the band az the
Twentieth regulars played a number OF
airs. and IL was hard TO believe that a
state of war existed.
Outside the city there was desuitory
firing throughout the day. and at various
points sharpshooters were most annoying.
At San Pedro Macatl the rebels are very
active, erecting intrenchmenss In frant

them. The enemy are fully alive 10 the
fact that Mausers have a much longer
range than the Spr.ngficids. and are con-
tinuously taking pot shots in eompara-
tive safety. The American soldiers dis
like the passive resistance and are eager
for the excitement of an active campaign.
Despite the heat the health OF the men

STOCK PRICES ADVANCE
Trading in New York Shows a
General Tone of Confidence.
Money on Call Continues Easy and a
More Favorable Bank Statement is
Expected Saturday-Tbe Govern
ment Crop Report Today Likely to
Indicate Encouraging Prospects.

New York, Aug 10-Further advances
were common in the stock market today
The trading showed general tone of con-
fdence and an animation in certain quar-
ters that has been missing for some time
Beyond much question the main influence
in the dealings was the continued case Of
money on cal. which was taken to fore
shadow a much more favorable bank state
ment at the close OF the week than has
been commonly expected. It is known that
the comparatively high rates that have
prevailed in the local money market Rave
already attracted a considerable amount
OF capital from the interior. and while
the various indeterminable elements that
enter into the composition of the bank
statement. with its confusing average
basis. render estimates unreliable. il was
at least the general opinion today that the
statement would show a substantial
strengthening of the position of the banks.
Aside from this circumstance, a favor
able effect followed the retention Of the
Bank Of England's discount rate at the
figures Of last week, for il had been gen.
orally expected that an advance in the
tate would have been ordered, and con-
siderable foreign selling of stocks in this
market had been apprehended IN conse-
quence. On the contrary, foreign houses
were buyers of substantial amounts of
stocks here this morning, notably of
Northern Pacific common. Another factor
that tended to encourage sentiment was
the expectation that the Government crop
report, which viii be published tomorrow
morning, viii indicate highly encouraging
prospects, particularly as regards the yield
Of corn.
The bull position in the market was
further strengthened by the receipt OF
some remarkably gratifying statements oi
railway traffic for various periods. The
Baltimore and Ohio Company, for the
month of July, reported earnings OF
s.. .62s, sac. which are the largest for any
one month in the history of the company
and which represent an increase of Is
per cent over last years returns The ST.
Paul and Hooking Valley companies made
the most remarkable showing OF the roads
publishing their returns for the first week
in August The ST. Paul earnings showed
a gain of s137 900. or % per cent over the
corresponding week of last year, while
the increase in Hooking Valleys returns
amounted to S210 zoe, or 40 per cent over
those of last year.
