 Prices Again March Upward-Grang- CTS, Trunk Lines and Industrials All RuOyant-Highest Price for Copper in Four Years-Erie COnvertibIes. Buoyancy was again apparent in the stock market yesterday, particularly in the grangers, trunk lines and indus trials.
 A number of issues made new top prices for the year.
 There was hopefulness as to the peace question and the market gyrations of Reading were not renewed. This helped the bulls.
 Erie was really the chief feature of the anthracite coalers, crossing 52 and making Q new high record. The spec ulative interest of the day, however, was really transferred to some of the prominent grangers and trunk lines, the Southwestern and Southwestern shares, Amalgamated Copper and the United States Steel properties.
 Hornblower & Weeks, who have a branch in this city, announce that all grades of copper have been advanced IA cent per pound to 16 IA cents, which is the highest level in four years The Boston Copper market made some sub- stantial advances in stock values in sympathy with the advance in price of the metal.
 It is of some significance that anthra- cite coal trade authorities do not think the anvance in Reading is wonderful. These men hold it is due, not to the work Of the pool or the technical spec ulative position, but to the fact that Reading is demonstrating earning pow CTS of at least 10 per cent. per annum on it's common stock. Already there are rurnors that the common dividend will again be increased.
 There is evidence of heavy. profit talk ing sales in both Reading and Erie. The latter, however, again made new high record in the afternoon trading.
 The street was filled with "bull points on Amalgamated Copper. From the way in which it was opened up it was not easy to get in and out with much of a profit. after the advice thus circulated was given out.
 The New York stock market broaden GU yeSCeTudy W1Iu Iue HedNleSC IFdQlnS in the general list that has been wit messed for many weeks.
 The heaviest of London buying was in Pennsylvania. The foreign houses were also large buyers of this stock on Tuesday.
 Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific reached new records for this year. So did St. Paul, allowing for the dividend of 3 1-2 per cent, which "came off yesterday from a stock market stand point.
 Missouri had a squirt and Rock Is- land started upward very soon after. It too, is is a big corn carrying road.
 Pennsylvania started at a substantial gain, and came out in enormous lots

TEsTERDAY,S STOCK MARKE1I
Improved Outlook for Peace at Ports-
 mouth Potent Factor.

Improved Outlook for Peace at P0rts~
 mouth Potent Factor.
 New York, Aug 23.-The improved out look for peace at Portsmouth was a potent factor in shaping the course of to-days stock market. This same feel ing was reflected in the foreign mar kets. Trading kept pace with the large volume of the previous day, with a number of substantial advances, and much wider distribution of business. Reading and the Fries were less con- spicuous, their places being taken by number of higher grade railway and industrial shares. Nevertheless, Erie common and second preferred advanced to new high records. Reading recover ed within a fraction of it's record price, but was later irregular. The best opinion is that the operators con nected with certain large pools took advantage of yesterdays active mar ket to unload a large part of their holdings, but are still committed to higher prices Trade reports at hand to-day bore closely upon copper and iron and steel conditions, the recent rise in the coal shares is explained in part by advices from the distributing centers, telling of increased activity. The renewed strength of Amalgamated Copper, one of the days market leaders, followed and other advance in the price of the metal, and further demands at home and abroad for refined copper, of which there appears to be but a small supply. The movement in copper to- day was accompanied by rumors of an increased dividend on the stock in the near future. The United States Steel shares were more active and strong than for some days. Pennsylvania led the active list in the early dealings,

Rails on EdueIey Extension.

Edgeley Mail: After waiting for
many weary months the work of iron
ing the Edgeley-Dawson extension of
the Northern Pacific has been begun.
The initial step was taken last Friday,
and by Saturday evening something
over LOO feet of track was built. The
work of laying the rails is greatly IA
ciHtated by the aid of a track-laying
machine, and everything is progress
ing very rapidly. A crew of men are
at work putting in bridges, and it is
worth a trip out to the grade to see
the pile-driver work.
Special train arrives almost daily
with material for the new road, which
would indicate that it is the intention
OF the company to complete the iron.
Ing as rapidly as possible. 1T is esti.
mated that about forty-two miles of
the track will be completed this sea.
SON At this time it is hard to tell
when the road will be conlpletea To
Dawson.

WHY TRAVEL ABROADi
An American Should give His First
study to His Home Land.

An American Should Give His First
study to His Home Land.
When Payne wrote There's No Place
Like Home" he gave poetic expression
to the love he bore toward the ingle
nook more precious than temples or
palaces" What flowers of rhetoric
could approach in power of assertion
these five little monosyllabic words,
'"There's No Place Like Home"-to
gainsay which We're impossible!
1t is the great privilege of Americans
to be able without hyperbole to apply
them to travel, for what is there in any
part Of the habitable globe more
fraught with interest, instruction, edu-
cation, refreshment of mind and body
and uplifting of soul than nature has
provided, with hand SO lavish, for the
delectation Of those having the good
fortune to dwell in this goodly land?
Would he see Riviera? We have
several on the shores Of the azure wa
tiers both of the gulf and the Pacific,
far distancing that laved by the Med
iterranean.
Does he pine for snow capped noun
tains? Let him repair to the plains
whence Pixies Peak, Mount Logan and
our other great elevations rear their
hoary SUBMITS into cloudland.
Would he witness a majestic cata-
ract? There is but one without a rival,
the imperial Niagara-in the chain of
our great lakes, most turbulent of
links.
Neither Nile, Niger nor Ganges, great
rivers though they are, are comparable
to our own Mississippi, we'll named
''The Father Of Waters" CIR peerless
Hudson excels in picturesque effects
the Wanted Rhine.
What of the beauties of the Golden
Gate, on whose shores sits enthroned
queenly San Francisco, pronounced
peerless among cities by a much trav-
eled European prince Of imperial
blood?
Where Is there, even in miniature,
anything to vie with that earthly para
disc, the valley Of the Yosemite; what
to compare with the deep and rugged
gorge through which passes to the sea
the impetuous Colorado river?
The Mammoth Cave Of Kentucky, one
Of the worlds wonders, is as yet but
partially explored.
Why, then, travel abroad, while all
these and vastly more than can be
enumerated remain unseen at home?
"Are not ALBANIA and Pharpar, rivers
Of Damascus, better than all the waters
Of Israeli" said Naaman the Syrian Of
old when ordered by the prophet to
betake himself to the Jordan for heal
ing. Who can help admiring his pride
Of country and robust patriotism?
Most worthy are they of emulation.
Be it for health or recreation, there
Is no grander travel field than that we
have at home.-Trayel.
