NEW YORK, August 25.-The bull move
ment which marked the closing of yester-
days stock market was resumed at todays
opening, when Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific continued their advances to new
high records. The real features Of the day,
however; were st. Paul and Atch.son The
buying OF these issues was regarded as
most impressive. The early movement en-
braced United States Steel common. which
touched the highest price since 1901, the

aggregated 10000 shares, Southern Pacific
5000. ST. Paul 10000 and Steel 1900. The
market almost Immediately reacted. though
st. Paul and Atchison more than held their
ground
There was news to account for the
rise in St. Paul other than the rumor every
where heard during the last few days of
buying of the stock for Southern Pacific or
Hartman interests. Atchisons rise was
ascribed to the belief that the stock is to be
placed on a six per cent dividend basis
The excited opening was followed by pront
taking and the market relapsed before the
end of the first hour. A fresh squirt in st.
Paul and Atchison, which sent those stocks
higher than before, brought a renewal of
the early activity.

Lieut. r. E. Peary is now In the

the first arctic voyage was made as
early as 1900 by a Portuguese navi-
gator in an effort to discover the
northwest passage to India. While
many later voyages were made for the
same purpose the first expedition
made with the idea of reaching the
pole was not made until early in the
last century. Since that time many
lives have been sacrificed in an effort
to conquer the elements of the frozen
