NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-The most interesting feature of to-day's stock market was the manner in which 1t regarded the spanish Ministers resignation. In view Of the sen sitiveness in the recent past to everything connected with the Cuban question it's disre- gard of an incident involving so acute phase of feeling is noteworthy The view taken of the subject in Wall street was that the pos sibility of danger in it had been avoided py the firm and prompt manner In Whlcn the lii- cident had been treated by the Government Prices advanced from the opening of the mar ket. Higher quotations from London gave an impetus to the opening rise. There was no of the market The only thing approaching 1t was an occasional pause Tn the advance but this was simply due to falling oH In the buying and not to heavy offerings. Upon re- gan again. Advances were not uniform and were not simultaneous. Considering the vol stocks notably small. In these which show large gains the advances were made at different times during the day, first one ana another of the stocks or group Of stocks De- ing taken up and pushed. The local transac- tion scored the largest advance and showed the heaviest dealings of any group in tbe list
 The strength of the market showed a ten dency to to the specialties and tobacco General Electric, Western Union and SusQue- in the days movement. Pullman added f1vo more points to its remarkable advance. The ing on a large scale of New York Central and the strength of Northwest, Omaha and the other Vanderbilt stocks.
 The Grangers as a group were strong, Bur lington leading Adams Express was bid up 2 points over yesterdays bad price without eliciting any offers. American Express sold 219 points over the last sale and was bid up 7 points higher. There was further easing in money rates to-day and sterling exchange con tinued firm
 The recent slight reaction in speculative bonds terminated to-day and the general movement was again strongly upward on Q very large business. It was reported that S1,- 900, GOO worth of single issue have been taken for London account. Total sales. Si. S90, 00o

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Feb 1e.-seen after the opening May Wheat dropped te p6bs6ee14e en realiza- tiens Then slow advance started which car ried the market up to p6lsG963sc, when re- action occurred, May declining this time to eeasc. Sellers were not without encouragement. Crop reports very favorable, Kansas messages stating that the prospects there were the best ever known. and the outlook In Michl- gan also good. News from Argentine caused some hestancy fer time. Broemhsii estimated the Argentine shipping surplus at s2 900, 900 bushels, and said he locked for ship ments from that country to Europe this month of about 5000, 900 bushels A report that be- tween 500. 900 and 900, 900 barrels of Flour hao accumulated at New York was alse in, unaeI second decline. About Il O. clock the market began strong and active. An authoritative New York dispatch estimated Flour stocks there al not to exceed 160 GOO barrels outside of that al- ready contracted for shipment. Everything else, however, was overshadowed by the cash news. Reports that Joseph Letter had con tracted to ship 500, 900 bushels of Wheat by the Lehigh Valley road to the Eastern seaboard, which circulated yesterday. were con frmed to-day. and 1t was further ascertained the Wheat going forward on through rate to Europe. There was also ruinors ot other large lots to be moved out. half ot 1t by rail, and though not entirely confirmed, were received with credence by traders. The Atlantic port clearances of Wheat and Flour were put at 534 900 bushels. By there was a big trade fin the pit and prices under a gen. eral buying demand had advanced to 97Qsf 1sc. Many of the early sellers were forced to buy back their nnes The price was well main tained at the top for time, but offerings became free late in the session and reaction to s67sc took place. the market closing steady
 Corn in the main was very strong, and closed Ac higher.
 Oats were active and firm. May closed M9
 Trading in Provisions was active, with the feeling unsettled, the market closing steady. May pork 219c higher, May lard 21ac lower and May ribs 21ac lower
