STOCK MARKET PRICES
REACH HIGH LEVELS
Business Activity Quickened by
Passage of Tariff Bill

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-Last week in
the stock market saw prices carried
to. the highest average level since
early in 1906
Realization of the close approach
made 10 the market level during the
speculative anticipation Of the eoun-
try's most prosperous period induced
a cautious spirit in the speculation
The early shortcomings Of the win
ter wheat have been lessened by sue
eeeding developments and the excellent
promise for the spring wheat keeps up
the hopes Of a total crop OF good
volume Expectations OF the corn
crop steadily grow
Last weeks cotton crop report left
no room for question OF the serious i'm
pairment of the probable yield of the
crop and the disadvantage Of high
prices for cotton products which will
result
In general mercantile lines a quick
ening OF activity is already manifest.
It is believed that the passage OF the
tariff bin will release large orders
from merchants which have been held
back in the desire to know definite re-
suits before making business ventures.

COLOMBIA is FACING
AN ACUTE SITUATION
President Valencia Will Reverse
Policy of His Predecessor

INT election of General Ramon Con-
zalez Valencia to the presidency of
Colombia has brought about an acute
situation in the affairs of the republic.
Escipion Canal. son of former pres
ident of Colombia and cousin of Cen
eral Valencia, lives in San Francisco
and is following developments in his
country with keen interest.
The resignation of President REYES
which paved the way for the election
of Valencia, was prompted by the pop
ular sentiment against the pending
tripartite treaty. which Reyes had an
proved. 1t is understood that valen-
cia's influence viii now be used to pre-
vent the ratification of the document.
The treaty is an agreement between
the United States. Colombia and Pan
anna Under its terms Colombia binds
itself TO recognize the independence of
Panama and the latter pledges itself
to pay TO Colombia the sum of s2.50O.-
600 over a period of nine years. In
addition there are questions of bound
airy and other considerations to be
settled The United States was to see
that THE provisions of the agreement
were carried out 1t now appears, how
ever. that the negotiations will come
to an end with the rejection of the
treaty by Colombia.
A report had sptead in Colombia
that the United States was prepared to
force Colombia to acquiesce in all the
stipulations and. fearing that some
such scheme might be invoked. Canal
addressed a letter TO President Taft.
The last reports from Colombia
were TO the effect that the new presi-
dent had been well received by the
people. General Valencia has been
prominent in the affairs of Colombia
for mapy years. He was minister of
war in 1901 and was elected vice
president in 1904.
