PRICE LEVEL
HIGHEST IN HISTORY
Excesses In Prices Of Particular
Stocks OIsiOri The Averages
As in 1906.
A fR0THY UpSH0T YESTERDAY
Such Symptoms, After Prolonged Ad-
vance, Arouses Suspicion of Opera
tors Of the Professional Class, Who
Keep on Alert for Signs of Reaction
Sharp Relapse Later in Day.
(By Associated Press) .

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE specu-
lation in stocks took on sudden ac-
tivity and issued in a trothy upshoot
of prices in today's market. The ap-
ptarance of these symptoms, after as
prolonged an advance as has now oc-
CURED and with prices at as high an
altitude as the present, aroused the
suspicion of operators of the profess
sional class, who were keenly alert Tor
the first signs OF reaction. The re-
lapse late In the day was sharp.
The comparative steadiness OF some
important stocks in press nee of the
volatile movements OF others around
them was suggestive OF process or
distribution going on under cover or
the excitement caused by the sensa-
tional advances in other quarters. In
the southern group, which conferred
attention yesterday, the realizing pro-
cess was more forcible and caused
abrupt reactions and feyerish fluctua-
tons. The conspicuous character or
the stocks in which the principal rise
occurred and their influential stand
ing as stock market leaders served
as effective stimulants to the specula
ton.
With nearer approach OF the aver
age prices of the active stocks select
ed for comparison to the record high
level of the 1906 averages. there is
closer analysis of the details OF the
price quotations than, for the purpose
of making the comparison clearer.
The part played by the excessive
prices OF a few stocks in the previous
averages stand out. For instance,
Great Northern preferred sold as high
as 326B in connection with the Great
Northern Ore disbursements and the
subscription rights TO new stock. That
price compares with 1918 today.
Northern Pacific also sold then at
211A, compared with 1891 today.
These discrepancies lead TO an In
ference on the part of some observers
that the present average price level
is in reality the absolute highest IN
history. But there are examples OF
distortion of the averages by excess $
in prices OF particular stocks now al
so. For instance, Union Pacific's
210A today compares with 1852 il
January of 1906. Southern Pacitic's
1875, with 727s, and United States
Steel's 1875 with 46A. These prices
affect the averages in a way to re-
duce the excess in the present level.

was planned to be completed by Sep
TENDER, 1909. At present indications
are that the estimate of the time for
constructing the line will be very
closely kept. The final work is being
pushed with vigor, and the company
has 5000 men at work upon the 200
mile gap which remains to be closed
From Salt Lake City to Shafter, $50
miles, the road was under operation in
September, 1907, and at the close of
1908 almost 225 miles in California
and $50 miles west from Salt Lake
City, were completed. 1t is said that
there is no rolling stock at the west
ern end, but if there were the road
could be operated at once into the
Feather river country.
Considerable interest has accom-
panied the building of the road, which
was begun by the Goulds as part of a
system of which the
Western Maryland was to have been
the eastern portion Financial diff
culties have made necessary changes
in the original plans.

Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
