New York, Aug 1S.-To-day's stock
market was active and strong, the deal
ines were remarkably well distributed and
the strength was more generally diffused
than at any time during the week. There
was an evident accession of outside in
terest in the market In the shape of or
ders through commission houses, as was
to be expected after the sharp rise Of the
last few days. Prices were pretty well
marked up at the start and selling to
realize was on quite a liberal scale, after
the opening hour. The offerings were well
assimilated, at small expense 10 values.
the market being sustained meanwhile
by the notable upward movement Of some
usually obscure stock.
After this first realizing had been d.
gested there was a breathing spell and
prices then mounted to the best of the
dav. In the late afternoon, however, the
burden Of realizing overcame the market
and prices yielded all around. A number
of the recent leaders lost practically all
of their earlier gains, notably the Baiti-
more and Ohio stocks, Southern and Cen
trail Pacific and Southern Railway pre-
ferred. which rose early from l to 2
points.
The high-priced sDecialties and the
stocks OF The local corporations were sub
jected to renewed bear pressure and show
ed notable declines, especially tobacco
and Consolidated Gas, which declined 21a
0f3 points respectively A fraction was
knocked off prices all through the list
ana net gains in the general list were
brought below q point. But a very sub
stantial rise in prices remains, neverthe-
less gains being quite generally dihused
