Transactions in yesterday's stock market were heavy in volume, amounting: to more than 1,400. 000 shares, on a movement of values which generally tended in the direction of higher quo tations. Advances of from 1 to 3 per cent were common, while In a number of Issues greater Improvement was recorded, notably in the case of Union Pacific, which sold at the highest price In Its history; Atchlson. Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Southern Pacific. In these issues' and in St. Paul great activity developed in the last half hour of trading, but the advances were not accompanied by news developments affecting the properties. There were various rumors, how ever, regarding the Hill shares and St. Paul, buying in the case of the latter apparently being based on the expectation of some favorable an nouncement regarding the company. It was said that St. Paul would pass to the control of the Haniman Interests, and It was again re ported that the so-called Hill iron ore deal ne gotiations would be brought to a successful termination in "the course of the next few days, notwithstanding the absence of official informa tion on the subject. Commission houses were active buyers, while the more substantial spec ulative Interests, who have been actively con nected with the bull Bide of the market for many weeks, were heavy buyers of their favorite is sues, and they were active in encouraging out side operators to take a position on the long Bide of speculation on the argument that prlcas would advance to a much higher level, owing to the prospects of dividend increases an* ♦« the outlook for further expansion in the coun try's industries. Money market conditions ap parently were not considered. Wall Street, at least the speculative element, is not paying particular attention to the money market, Inasmuch as it believes there will be no disturbance In loans this fall, notwithstanding the low position of the bank reserves. It is be lieved that there will be large imports of gold and that further deposits of government money will be made with national banks. There is ex cellent reason for the confidence of speculators in the theory that gold will come to this country in volume and that the government will place in the channels of trade a large amount of its sur plus revenue. Sterling exchange is moving in the direction of gold imports, while the Secre tary of the Treasury has made it quite clear that he Intends to use government funds to pre vent acute stringency in the money markets of the United States. Already he has placed $3, 000,000 with country banks, and he has practi cally assured the banking community that fur ther deposits will be made as the necessity arises. The amount of money which will be placed at the disposal of the banks through gqld imports and government deposits will serve to offset the drain on these institutions Incident to the demands of the agricultural community in connection with the financing of the year*B boun tiful harvests, but there Is no reason to suppose that gold Imports and emergency measures by the government will supply an amount of money large enough to support crazy speculation in securities. Many of the most conservative men in Wall Street, while believing in higher prices for securities, are opposed to extreme activity at present, owing to money market considerations. In the current week the local banks have lost upward of $8,000,000 in their cash holdings, and unless there has been a material contraction in loans Clearing House figures to-day doubtless will show a further reduction, in the reserve above legal requirements of the associated banks. Accompanying the last hour's advance in stocks, it was reported that heavy engagements of gold had been arranged, but the. rumors are not con firmed.

In London consols were ftrra. while the general market was strong. Discounts were steady in all the foreign capitals. AN OPINION 1 ON BONDS.— H*nry S. Redmond of Redmond & Co. says: Prices for nearly all railroad stocks hare risen greatly, while bonds have been declining until now the yield on bonds Is often greater than that of the common stocks of the same roads. We believe that a Btrong demand will shortly occur for very high grade bondß when the United States 4 per cent bonds of 1907 are refunded, as it is estimated that nearly 980.000.000 of them are held by private in vestors who will not accept a refunding bond at 2 per cent selling at a premium in exchange for their old 4 per cent bonds. This, of course, will bring practically the entire amount of money into the market for Investment in securities to replace the maturing government bond. This refunding will likewise be a great help to the money market, as a large part of the $80,000,000 United States 4 per cent bonds now held by Individuals will, when re funded In the 2 per oents. find their way into national banks and give basis for new circulation and new government deposits. CANADIAN PACTFTC.-Slr William Van Home, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Padflo Railway, declared yesterday that James J. Hill's plan of building lines Into Canada is so un wise that lt must be a cover to some other project. If It Is carried out. he says, the Canadian Pacino will build two miles of road in Hill territory to every one that Hill builds In Canadian Pacific terri tory. When told of these statements. Mr. Hill declared that the Great Northern would surely build the projected lines In Canada, but refused to enter Into a discussion of the matter. "SOO" LJNE FROSPECT&— In Minneapolis financial circles the principal Interest is in "Soo" and the Question of an Increased dividend in Sep tember. It Is thought that an Increase will be made, and the 4 per cent on the common will be raised to 4 per cent. 80 far as earnings are con cerned, there is everything to encourage the be lief of an Increase, for the crops along the "Soo" line are heavy, and will soon be moving, while westbound business holds up, and is likely to in crease. MOVEMENT OF MONET- The reported move ments of currency this week Indicate a loss in cash by the banks of $7,990,900. The banks received from the Interior 95.511.000. and shipped to the interior $8,953,800. The loss to the Sub- Treasury amounted to J5.&C1.200, due tn great part to the final payment on Panama Canal bonds. There was a gain from new gold of $1,396,200.

CURB MARKET TRADING In the market for outside securities speculation during the early hours was rather light and price movements more or less irregular. Toward midday there developed considerable animation In a few of the copper stocks, which tended to break the mo- tony. A steady tone prevailed throughout. There were some slight reactions in a number of special ties, but these w*>re offset by the strength in the mining group. American Can preferred Improved %, Havana Tobacco common was firm, although the preferred was offered down 3 points without a bid. International Marine preferred Improved 1. International Salt advanced U. Mnckay stocks were neeleou-d. Northern Securities "stubs" were strong and in Rood demand. In the mining group.
