sy CHARLES w. STORM.

NEW YORK, Aug t5.-Canadan Pacific

at the opening today, having a bull move
ment in this stock in London on reports
pf expected new rights for the system.
fhis issue opened here at 281k after hav-
ing closed last night at 2S0s4.
The tone at the outset was firm, the
market showing no bear effect from the
passage of the steel and wool bills by
the house over President Taft's veto, An
other cause that Wall street held partly
responsible for the good tone was the pub

resulting conclusion that railroads would

The curb was strong. Americans in
London showed strength with the Fries in
best demand. Canadian Pacific rose on
reports of the acquisition of highly bene-
fetal privileges.
Two reasons were advanced for strenfth
of Fries in London. One was that the
first preferred is to be put upon per
cent dividend basis, and the other that in
terests allied with the Canadian Pacific
are buying the stock.
Strength displayed in the market dur
ing the forenoon due to outside buying.
The copper stocks, with Steel common

Canadian Pacific advanced &C.
After midday selling pressure appeared
in the market and the tone became heavy.
