Canners' Association announces the following
price list forS1903 stock:
General Merchandise.
NEW YORK. Aug. 18. — There Is no room to
doubt the operation of powerful and influen
tial forces in the stock market to-day. Profes
sional operators followed the movement and
made an imxtortant addition to the market.
Operations by pools were In evidence and ma
nipulative devices were easily detected for the
advancement of prices, but that the day's
market reflected a feeling of confidence over
the future that has not been shown for a
long time was plain to be seen. The feeling
was generally based upon ti,e conviction that
the necessary liquidation so far as It aQects
the securities market has been concluded and
that the financial conditions have been greatly
strengthened as a consequence. The move
ment of interior exchanges and advances from
interior money markets gave warning of the
early approach of the demand upon New York
for funds to move the crops. This demand,
however, seemed to have lost Its terrors. For
eign exchange advanced again and the price
of gold was raised again in the London mar
ket. London Is . taking protective measures
against demands upon her gold supply and sold
stocks freely In New York, but the movement
did not impair the newly awakened confidence
that with the outward movement of the crops
New York will be able to command . gold, o\v
lng to the heavy reduction of our indebtedness
abroad during the recent period of liquidation.
In this name connection the bulls on stocks
made much of the defeat by the Colombian
Government of the Panama Canal treaty. The
financing of the payment of $40,000,000 to the
Panama Canal Company and of $10,000,000 to
the Colombian Government, which would have
followed the adoption of the treaty, has given
Wal\ street much disquiet. It is supposed to
'have been a subject of concern to the Treas
ury Department at Washington also. It .is
assumed that the freedom from obligation to
secure exchange for the*e amounts will facili
tate the Jmjort of gold. The fear that the
; Treasury Department would be hampered In
any attempts to relieve the money market by
the need of conserving resources for these pay
ments is also • removed. The larger political
and commercial bearings of the canal situation
were net considered. The payment Into the
local money channel cf C.toO.OOO made avail
able by the deposit of newly arrived Austra
lian gold with the Treasury officials at San
Francisco also had Its favorable Influence upon
the money exchange situation. A decline in
corn atnd wheat was given favorable interpre
tation, although the' Weather Bureau's weekly
bulletin was something disquieting. The Rock
Island authorities were supposed to be pre
paring for a favorable recejtlon for the new
bond issue. Old rumors of a Southern Pacific
dividend were revived. High prices for copper
end enlarged dividends on Amalgamated Cop
per were talked of among the speculators.
Larger dividends for various coal carriers both
anthracite and bituminous owing to the large
current earnings were widely, discussed. These
s.re but examples of the temper of the day's
talk and none of this talk rained any author! •
tatlve sentiment. All purchases '• of Inactive
stocks caused wide advancer just as small
sales caused violent declines dnrtnff the period
Neie York Stock Market.
At the special meeting of the shareholders o?
the California Title Insurance and Trust Com

CHICAGO, Aug. 1?.— The wheat pit showed
a fair degree of strength at the start, due to
the steady cables, the foreign markets being
up on reports of wet weather in England and
on the continent. There was fair commission
house buying early in the day, and after open
ing J^0%c higher at 82%©82%c September
advanced to S2%c. The strength was of only
short duration, however, on the decline which
followed, there was considerable selling for
short account and many stop-loss orders were
received. The break in corn, helped along the
decline, as did large increase in the world's
visible. 2,400,000 bushels, and extreme weak
ness prevailed the latter part of the session.
After selling down - to S0%ic September closed
at S05i"gsojie, a loss of l%c for the day.
Corn was rather dull, and ruled weak
throughout the greater part of the session.
After celling between 51%@51»4c and 52^c,
September closed %c lower at 51%@31iic.
Oats were up a trifle at the start on a fair
support from commission houses. The close
was I a trifle easier, with September off lie
at 34c.
Provisions moved up some at the outset, as
the result of covering by shorts. The smaller
run of hogs and higher prices at the. yard 3
also helped in the advance. Later liquidation
set In, the declining tendency being augmented
by the lower grain prices. September pork
closed lftc lower at $12 07%; September pork
was up-5@7%c at ?7 87%Cf-7 90, and ribs were
10c lower at $7 40.
