General Prosperity and Final Passage
of Tariff Bill Prompts Activity
Much Awakening Of specu-
IRtiOn Evident.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The rise in prices
today had the appearance Of a righting In
the market from the dip at yesterdays
clOse. There was, in fact, considerable re-
buying of stocks sold snort by the pro-
tesslonal element yesterday on the assump-
llon mat the enactment of the tariff law
would be followed by a movement to realize
profits. NO such realizing movement de-
yeloped today and the unco, cred bears were
prOlnpted TO cover their short contracts.
Inc gradual expansion OF business Activ-
lty and the definite shaping OF the pros
pect for the final form OF the tariff law
were Incentives to active speculation In
STOCKS. II Is supposed that speculation
was In the hands, for the most part, OF the
more important class OF capitalists and men
attiiiated with great corporations and
The stock market has not offered evil

speculation. The awakening of such a
speculation has been an object of the pow
erful interests which have controlled the
action OF the stock 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-
non In stocks. After the spasmOdic demand
from yesterdays short sellers the trading
became Intensely duh, but was actively re-
newed In the closing dealings. when the

rangers today indicated the special hopes
or a good showing for the corn crop con-
dition.
Spring wheat is also counted on to make
a promising exhibition. This had some
thing, to do with the conspicuous place
held by st. Paul in the transactions today.
The price rose above 161 for the first time
since 1905. when the rights to subscribe to
new stock on profitable terms was ac-
corded to stockholders.
Not much attention was paid to the fore
casts OF the currency movement. in view
OF continued ease of the call money mar

this. week have absorbed Sc, 1872, 900 from the
