STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STRONG

NEW YORK, Aug 6.-The rise in prices
today had the appearance Of q righting in
the market from the dip Of yesterdays
close. There was, in fact, considerable re-
buying of stocks sold short by the profes-
sional element yesterday on the assumption
that the enactment of the tariff law would
be followed by movement to realize
profits. No such realizing movement de-
veloped today, and the uncovered bears
we're prompted to cover their short con-
tracts.
The gradual expansion of business activ-
ity and the definite shaping of the prospect
for the final form of the tariff law were
incentives to active speculation in stocks.
It is supposed that the speculation was in
the hands Of the more important class Of
CAPITALISTS and of men affiliated with great
corporations and banks.
The stock market has not offered evil
dence at any time of broad general par
tioipation by the public, such as is char
acteristic Of the boom periods of spec
ulation. The awakening of such specula-
ton has been the object of the powerful
interests which have controlled the market
throughout the recent movement. The aim
would be to facilitate the distribution at
the profitable high prices now prevailing of
the stocks accumulated at the lower prices.
The enactment of the tariff Law yester-
day brought no immediate response today
resembling an awakened general specula-
ton in stocks. After the spasmodic de-
mand from yesterdays short sellers the
trading became intensely dull, but was &C
lively renewed in the closing dealings,
when the tone was very strong. st. Paul
rose above 12I for the first time since 1906
There was much discussion Of the profitable
possibilities for the traffic on the Pacific
coast extension of the system, for which
large growth is predicted.
Not much attention paid to the fore
cast on the currency movement in view Of
the continued ease of the call money mar
ket. Operations with the sUbtreasury this
week have absorbed Sc, 1872 600 from the
banks, and this officially reported move
nent is much more reliable than the usual
estimates of the express movement with
the interior.
United States steel rose to 1855 and
Union Pacific to 2o3, which made new rec
ord prices for those stocks and helped ma
terially TO the strong closing tone.
Bonds were firm. Total sales of bonds
Cpsr value) IS 1872 900. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

A Denial from High Authority


From National Food Magazine, Chicago.
DIR. H. w. Wiley, chief chemist of
the agricultural department, has de-
manded OF the Calumet Baking Pow
der company, Of Chicago. that It cease
the publication of alleged certificates
or statements that he had endorsed
the Calumet Baking Powder, or re-
ported IN favor Of its purity. whole
someness or superiority. Such state
ments, he says, are false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon a COM
mittee of awards, as alleged nor signed
such a report or certificate, nor did he
ever indorse the Calumet Baking pow
der in any way. On the contrary, DR..
Wiley testified before a congressional
committee relative to alum In food, as
follows; LAS I nave said repeatedly. /
do not use 1t in my own home, and
would not use alum in bread if / knew
it. Alum Is injurious"
It seems that Dr.. Wiley's dernan
that the Calumet company should cease
these publications, which are, he say
against the TRUTH" was not complied
with. although he says he has done
