THE STOCK MARKET

< New york. Aug is---A vastly better tone was shown by tho stock market today. though the movement was as narrow and 2. were the rule and the recent liquidation seemed to have run it's course There was little in the days developments to bring about this change other than vague re- port that some statement of a conciiatofy or reassuring character would shortly ema- nate from the seat of the national govern ment Color was lent to this by the pres ence In town of several distinguished rep- resentatIves of the administration. Another bit of the days gossip was to the effect that control of the Northern Pacific road had passed from the Hill to the Hartman interests but this was denied by the parties
 Intimations that the Federal authorities had decided to inaugurate a new antitrust policy and the re-opening of the Chicago and Alton case produced feeling Of uneas- iness An interview attributed to the pu- nftive head of the Standard Oil Company ernbodied some rather frank and pessimistic sSntiments, but seemed to pass unnoticed Conditions abroad showed some improve rnent.
 1t is significant of conditions abroad, how ever that the bank of England shows no desire to discount market bills under 4h per cent. The upward movement Tn the focal market gathered its greatest moment um in the final hour. Concurrent witn .he rsse came a report that the leading banking fsterests of the country had made an ap- p6aI to President Roosevent for the restora- ton of confidence. but no confirmation pr tnis was obtainable in high quarters Prices shaded slightly from the best of the day on profit taking but the ciosin was stron:
 The great bulk of the days trading which again exceeded a million shares. was in Union Pacific. Reading, Steel and An1alga- mated Copper.
 The time money market displayed increas- ed ffrnness The annual report of the Ca madam Pacific road showed an increase Of moro than $2,30o, 900 net. with a substantial gain in the final surplus. The company also declared the usual "extra" dividend.
 The bond market was irregular Total eoles par value $1,74o,000. United States fiurs declined X per cent. on call.
