NEW YORK. August 2l.-Rumors
took the place of news to-day. and
much was heard OF likely develop
ment in Southern Railway, of soft
coal combination. OF possible dividend
in Southern Pacific, and the Ike. None
OF these ta.es could be found to have
any basis in fact They served the
purpose of the manipulators somewhat,
however. enabling them to Keep the
market up and doubtless to dispose OF
some more stocks at advantageous
prices The action of the market as a
whole to-day under the circumstances
has not changed our opinion that it is
dominated by the eliques and therefore
is unsafe to buy. C. |. HUDSON & co.
NEW YORK, August 21.-Market

NEW YORK. August 21.-The strong
tone Of yesterdays market was
continued at the opening. In fact, 1t
prevailed throughout the session, al
though towards the close the market
receded somewhat from the very high

vailing
The early session. however, was quite
animated and a number of stocks
reached higher figures than before, the
notable instances were Union Pacific,
when touched par, Southern Pacific

as the Gould stocks strong on a report

above $4,000, remained fairly strong
The money market, especially the

road reports continued favorable. The

NEW YORK, August 21.-The open
ing was rather tame, but prices were
fairly firm and considerable strength
was shown in Southern issues and the
Steels. Southern Railway common adj
vanced on fairly large trading. 1t was
said that heavy block Of stock which
had been hanging over the market has
been absorbed, and the price advanced
on good buying. Steels were firm on
talk OF a possible renewal OF negotia-
lions to settle the strike. Union Pacific
advanced and it was said that the re-
cent buying had been especially good
Some very fair buying orders were re-
ported for the open. The rights in
connection with the Northern Pacific
purchase were expected to be an i'm
portant factor.

BUILDING CANAL THE REASON
ENGLAND WANTS TO TRADE
Offers jamaica for a Slice of the
Phiiippiner-lsas Lost Prestige
Can No Longer Command the
Highway to Nicaragua.

New York, Jan. "A special from
Washington says;
The British colony of Jamaica will be
given in exchange for fair share of the
United States colony of the Philippines.
This is an international trade which will
be probably the result of acquisition by
the United States of the Danish An
titles.
In official circles it is thought that
Great Britain will not want the island
of Jamaica if the United States acquires
the Danish possessions, as the prestige
OF Great Britain in commanding the
highway to the Nicaraguan canal will
have diappeared. The United States
will not only be able to command the
approach from the east, but it will, from
its point OF vantage, control the ocean
east of the Danish Antilles from the
magnificent base which will undoubtedly
be established there
1t will be interesting to recall that
when the United States amended the
Hay Pauncefote treaty the British press
idea was that if Great Britain was forced
to yield there should be some eompensa-
ton to Great Britain. What Great Brit
aims demands will be are not clearly
known. 1t is understood, however, that
she will endeavor to have the modus vi
Vendi of the Alaskan boundary made per-
manent.

He was carefully guarded and prevented

himself, but for two days he refused to-
