Advances OF Broad Character.

New York, May 1S.-on the face of
things there was an entire disappear
ance III the STOCK market to-day Of those
impulses toward liquidation Of stocks
which confessedly exerted no little IN
nuenee yesterday and the day before.
The first prices OF stocks made were
all considerably higher than those fixed
at the close Of business on Tuesday, and
at no time during the day did prices fall
70 the low level touched on the preceding
session. It seemed as if to q greater or
less extent the market to-day took its
cue primarily from the notable increase
Of cheerfulness on the foreign exchanges
and this In turn appears 20 nave been
caused by the same forces that have
been operative here; a continual heaping
up in bank Golfers Of a great quantity
Of idle money. Presumably matters in
terested have been favorahly affected by
the cessation OF the pressure to sell con-
soils there, which has apparently been
proceeding for some time from some
definite source.
cOnsOls Up Half Point.
To-day the quotation for this prominent
security rose 1-2 point. following an
advance Of a full point IN the two pre-
ceding days and the well-known Kafir
and Rio Tinto stocks and other similar
prominent shares were all very strong,
not only on the London stock exchange,
but on the Paris bourse.
Hopes were even expressed that a re-
duction might be made tomorrow IN the
Bank of England's rate for discount.
But these We're not over strong.
The upward movement In our own mar
ket paused after the first hour CT busi-
ness, but the market sustained itself
without dimculty, and the rise vas re-
sumed later In the day Closing prices
We're not far below the best. and at
gains extending to in the neighborhood

days advance was again of broad char
acter, Including not only the prominent
railroad stocks like Union Pacific and
81. Paul, but a large number OF low
priced and semi-inactive shares in bOth
me industrial and railway list.
Hill Stocks Bought.
There was somewhat more urgent buy
ing Of the Northern Pacific and so-caIIed
Hill stocks than there has been OF late.
but as salient a feature of the market
as sny was the further rise in the Rock
Island common and preferred stocks and

has been preceded by distinct strength
IN these securities in the recent past.

has not proved entirely satisfactory. It
was, however, said on high authority to-
day that nc steps would be taken to this
end IN the near future, and that the ad-
vance in the eompany's securities was
cue largely 10 the fact that il was main
tanned that the price Of these issues had
long been unduly depressed.

How an Editor Took Defeat.

"The one shall be taken and the other
shall be left" Editor Howe of the Ben
nington Banner is that towns candi-
date for representative and the voters
of Bennington are to be congratulated
upon their wise choice. Mr.. Howe is a
progressive journalist, possessed of
plenty of common sense and will make a
valuable member of the next House
which promises to be unusually strong.
On the other hand Editor. Aud of the
Burlington News failed to receive the
caucus nomination. He did not sulk nor
bolt the nomination, but Immediately
issued the following statement which
showed his magnanimity and party
loyalty:
with thanks TO those who fought
and voted for me and lost; and without
a single regret for my defeat at this time;
on the eve Of leaving the city for brief
vacation-which was planned two
months ago-I leave this message: The
caucus was fairly won by Lawrence
BARLEY and he, as a worthy representa-
tive OF the party, should receive the vote
of every republican-as he will get mine
at the September election"

Press Comment.
A Western Endorsement of Governor Pa

A western Endorsement OF Governor Page
1t seems very likely indeed that the
Vermont Legislature, at its next session,
will send to the United States Senate, to
succeed the late Senator Proctor. a
gentleman named Carroll S. Page. Mr..
Page has already been governor of the
State, though throughout his entire life
he has been an intensely active all around
business man. He is at the head of two
banks and big tannery. He is a rail-
road director and has a hand in almost
every important business institution in
the Green Mountain state. In short, he
enjoys the highest possible reputation as
strenuous but upright and conscien-
tious business man. In some states at
present this would render him ineligible
for the high place OF United States
senator Little old level headed Vermont
seems to hold different opinion and
picks such men for high places. Either
great professional men or great business
men ALWAYS seem to go to Washington
as her representatives. Thus it is that,
politically considered, when one thinks
of Vermont the names of Poland. Morrill,,
Edmunds, Phelps, Dillingham;, Proctor.
Hendee and Powers naturally come to
mind. II Governor Page is not elected

ST. Johnsbury is to be congratulated
that there was no bitter contest for
town representative this fall and also
that SO good a man was chosen for the
partys standard bearer. Mr.. Scott has
long been one of our leading merchants,
is a valued member of the board of trus-
tees and a gentleman who will well
represent the town in the 1908 legis-
lature.
