NEW YORK. February s-Consider-
ing all the developments during the days
session at the Stock Exchange, the
markets for securities held up re-
markably well. The news and rumors
were well calculated to produce de-
preston, but except i'm the case of the
Industrial group, the bears made but lit
tie impression upon values. The first
thing that gave operators for a decline
courage was the receipt OF lower quota
tons and OF selling orders from Lon
don. Then came tho State Senate In

The browning effort Of the bears, how
ever, was a cunningly devised state
ment that a fleet had been ordered to
Cuba TO release American prisoners
The denial of this sensational report

execution their purpose of breaking the
market, and i'm the last hour they were
running in lively fashion TO cover their
shorts
Sugar moved up over two points, rising
to 1912, and other stocks recovered
