NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Aug. 1S.-There is no room
to doubt the peration of n powerful and
influential force in the stock market to-
day. Professional operators followed the
movement and made an important addi-
ton to the market Operations by pools
We're in evidence and manipulative devices
we're easily detected for the advancement
Of prices. But hat the days market re
fiected q feeling of confidence over the fu-
turc that has not been shown for long
time past was plain to be seen. The feel
ing was generally based upon the convic-
tion that the necessary liquidation so far
as it affects the securities market has
been concluded and that the financial con-
ditions have been greatly strengthened as
consequence. Foreign exchange adj
vanced again and the price of gold was
raised again in the London market. The
bulls on stocks made much of the defeat
by the Colombian government. of the Pan
ANA canal treaty, for it is assumed that
the freedom frcm obligations to secure
exchange for the payment of $4,000 600 to
the Panama Canal Co. and of $1,000 .000 to
the Colombian government, which would
have followed the adoption of the treaty,
will faclit2te the import of gold. The
selling to take profits was unremitting
all day but was well absorbed until the
final hour. The market closed weak with
out rally Bonds were firm. Total sales,
par value, 81, 800, 900
