NEW YORIt , Aug. 15.-The market for
stocks was remrtrlcably active and buoyant
today. There was on occasional halt in the
upward tendency , when the price of some
leading stock was advanced to a level
which Invlte(1 unustmaity heavy offerings ,
But no volume of offerings seemned ufllctcat
to chock the steady upward tendency of
the munricet mind everything was mubsorbed
with eagerness , The St. h'aul took the lend
of the marlcet with it rise of 3Y tier cent ,
and ( ho total transactions for the day foot-
big up 67,700 shares.
This advance was undoubtedly due to the
movement of a large combination of specit-
iatlve interests and was based PrimmurIlY On
the fact that the advance In the tricq
hItherto has been cornnmensurnte with
that In the other lrommncmit grangers. The
reason for this lirobalmly was that the stock
has been more Inrgely lielit abroad than the
oIlier grnngers and London has beetu ler-
sistently liquIdating Its holdings of Anion-
can stoclcs , Itnglanul's unfavorable trade
balances nnil the strong market Presented
In Now 'York for profit-taking , of course ,
imavo been tIme motives for thIs sehiimmg.
lint It teas nevortlmeless effective in holding
hack ( he trlce of St. l'nuhl , It Is now sail
that these London offerings have been
steadily absorbed by the powerful specum-
latI'o clique which started the prescnt hull
movement in Dttriingtom and which has
now 1i1ftml tIle hemudenshmip to St. I'auil.
The buying wait nccomnpanieth by runmors
that time next semi-annual dividend of 2 tier
per cent t'ilI"be supplemented by an extra
dIvidend. Time lneferrel stock was bId up
3 % cr cent today and the high grade bonds
of the company were also 'cr' strong. St.
Paul was the conspicuoums center of the
nmnrket , the other gnangcrs were uniformly
strong , Time buying of Northern Pacific
Coiitlnumefi very large antI nggresslve.
Ilrooklyn Transit was also heavily bought
and a. number of other industrials , notably
Tobacco , Some of time iron and steel coin-
panics , New York Air Uralce , the Rubber
stocks amid American MoltIng were buynnt
rind active. The stremigthi spread from the
leaders aim the dm13' progressed nntl cam-
braced a continually growing llt of tock ,
most of which show gaimis of between 1 ami
2 poimits nnd many of them In excess of
that. Sugar and Titnmmlmatton were depressed -
pressed throughrnmt. There was no special
news to nccotmnt for time rise which was
rather i1ti to the growth of a general con-
victlon that the conclusion of peace will
give full scope to the extraordInarily favorable -
able conditions in the country embraced in
large crops at profitable prices , easy money
condItions and a continuing favorable trade
balance.
I The multiplying signs of business activity
In all lines strengthen the conviction in the
country's continued prosperity. Business
in bonds was on a somewhat redumced scale
and there was a tendency to reaction at
some points In tIme list , probably due to
the diversion of capital into stocks. Total
sales , $3.653,000. United States 3s , when issued -
sued , advanced 1-S in the bid price. Gov-
ernrnent hmonuls were otherwise unchanged.
The Evening Post's London financial Ca-
bleirram says ; The stock mnrkoi hro
qtmiet , bumt distinctly firm today , time
feature being the strong demand for Amen-
can amid Argentine stocks. The latter were
boucrlmt chiefly by Berlin. Americnns were
dealt In extensIvely for New York anl
there was alto much English amid German
buying. The demand largely centered in
Erie preferre(1 and UnIon Pacihic and
Northern Pacific shares Prices In the
street closed qumiet at the top with a hopeful -
ful outlook , There was a further small recovery -
covery In Grand Trunk.
APart from the directions Indicated , general -
oral lURineSS remains so stagnant that the
closing ci' the Stock excange on next Sat-
unlay Is mooted. The question is helmmg
considered also whether Limo exchange shall
be closed every Saturday ( hurinR Septem-
her , A stock i'xehmnngo failure is announced
but it Is small and of no consequmenco. Time
money market was firm at 1' per cent ,
mainly on npnrelmc'nstomms ntcmumt time strong
monetary and exchange position In New
York. It may harden further. The Paris
hourse was closed today , this being a
church holiday. Time Berlin market 'as

AN [
SQ1A STORY
FOR READERS OF
THE SUNDAY BEE
Th [
ios ! 1'
PROVItCS.
By Eouis Tracy ,
Author ( If ' 1An Amcrfcart Emperor , "
"T/te / Fiial , 1'ar , " etc.
Began August 7 and
Continues Ten Weeks.
Mr. Tracy Is 'well known as a
brilliant young writer , who has
achieved the difficult task of blaz-
tag omIt a now end untrodden path , ,
In the well explored domain of
story writing. Instead of historical
fiction , he hue Oovoted hImself to
fictitious history and his success in
this original lIne has made him one
of the most popular authors of the
day , both in America end In Eng-
land. . :
In its broad lines , "The Lost
Provinces" resembles Mr. Tracy's
earlier story , An American Em-
oror. "
Vansittart , the American million-
alre , 'who does the most remarkabls
things in a thoroughly matter-of-
fact 'way , Is the principal figure In
this story. Some of the other characters -
acters bavo likewise been made
familiar by "An American Em-
perot , " but the scene of action and
the course of the story are en-
tlrely different and the tale is even
more alcilIfully told.
As the tale suggests , the story
deals with the struggle between
France and Germany over the lost
provinces of the former. In dire
straits , France appeals to the
wealthy American who once before
proved tier salvation. He mmmc-
dlately responds and sets out
across the Atlantic on hl private
yacht. An attempt Is made by the
Germans to capture 'him , but ho
escapes through the Intervention
of an English man-of-war and an-
nives safely in Paris , wlmcro ho is
welcomed as time one hope of time
despairing nation. Vansitart ( becomes -
comes coinmander-in-chilet of the
army , and the military operations ,
through which he brings the war
to a successful issue , occupy the
duet part of time story.
The story Is made lively and in-
leresting by the adventures anti
mishaps of Foiilctt , the ParIs do-
tcctiu'e ; by "Arizona Jim , " a west-
era cowboy , who accompanies Van-
sittart in the capacity of bodyguard -
guard ; by the eccentric French inventor -
ventor , Jtrmanl Dtmprcz ; by German
SPiCS and French soldiers and
booties , The treaty of peace ,
finally contracted lmy Vansittart and
( Iertnan emperor. is unique and
lilgimly democratic In its terms.
The author hnS made the most
of a large amount of Interesting
immaterial In thmls new story , anti the
few persons who have seen it pronounce -
nounce it the best work that Mr.
Tracy line done thus tar , There Is
a charming variety and pictur-
esquenoss in the characters presented -
sonted and the story moves on
its way with a sprightliness of
action which makes It especially
tuitcd to use as a newspaper serial ,
