New York, Aug. 15.—The atock mar ket this morning was stronger and more active thnn at any time this week. Prices were higher In all departments of the London market also, and our list took Its cue at the start from the foreign attitude. But the main Incen tive to the trading lay undoubtedly in the heavy buying at rising quotations of a few chosen Issues. Union Pacific sold near to the highest point of f.ne January rise and Southern Pacific al most equalled Its high record of fig ures of 1902. The reason for these ad vances. of course, Is the belief that an Increase In the Union Pacific dividend and Initial payment on Southern Pa cific presumably at the. rate of 4 per rent.
