NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Feb. 19.--To-day's market
was limited even by COMPARISON with the
apathetic condition that has recently
chara cterized speculation. For the first
time in many months an industrial, sugar
has yielded it's place as leader of the
market to a railroad. Burlington took
first place to-day on transactions induced
by doubt as to the action of the directors
on the quarterly dividend.
The mrning was characterized by a
total lack of interest in the market due
to renewed fears of European compiled
tons over the Cretan question There
were offerings for arbitrage account. but
without any manifest effect on prices.
There was some relief over the political
outlook reflected from the European ex-
chang later in the day which helped along
the rally consequent upon the BurHng
ton dividend.
The bond market displayed decided an
imation with some Of the usually neg
lected issues figuring actively in the
dealings. The main tendency was to-
ward a higher plane, but some severe
losses were registered in a fw instances.
Th foreigners continue to take large
blocks of the principal international
liens, and investment houses report
heavy business over the counter in all
classes of securities, Hooking Valley
mortgages were quite erratic but closed
generally at improvements. The fives
fell two points to 63, rallied to 81 and
closed at 66. The sales were $1,729,-
600.
Government bonds continue to display
activity on purchases by financial inst.
