New York, Feb. 14.-The uncer-
islation still holds business IN
Stock Exchange. There is little disposition
to branch out in any quarter pending def
mite results from Washington. The stock
market opened firm, chiefly. the conse-
duence of the receipts Of higher quota-

down from 92Ss to 90lS. and closed
within Il of the lowest The statement re-
