NEW YORK, Feb. 10-The most interesting
ner In which it regarded the Spanish minis
ters resignation. In view of the sensitive
ness in the recent past to everything con-
nected with the Cuban question, it's disregard
of an incident involving so acute a phase of
feeling, is noteworthy. The view taken of the
subject in Wall street was that the possibility
OF danger in 1t had been avoided by the firm
and prompt manner in which the incident had
been treated by the government.
Prices advanced from the opening of the
market. Higher quotations from London gave
an impetus to the opening rise. There was no
general setback from the opening to the close
of the market. The only thing approaching it
was an occasional pause in the advance but
this simply due to a falling off in the
buying and not to heavy offerings. Upon a re-
newal of activity and upward movement be-
gan again.
Advances were not uniform and were not
simultaneous. Considering the volume OF the
trading for the day the rise in some stocks
was notably small In those which show large
gains the advances were made at different
times during the day, first one and then an
other stock or group of stocks being taken up
and pushed. The local fractions scored the
largest advances and showed the heaviest
dealings of any group in the list. Metropolitan
Street Railway duplicated its movement of
yesterday with a rise of 434 points on rumors
of special benefits in the shape of privileges
in further issue of stock. Manhattan was at
one time over three points up but was fever
Brooklyn Transit points
The strength of the market showed a
tendency to run to the Specialties and To-
bacco, General Electric Western Union and
Susquehanna & Western pfd were conspicu-
Gus. Pullman added five more points to its re-
markabe advance.
The mainstay Of the market was the re-
newed buying 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 Burlington leading.
Noteworthy advances were also scored by
Louisville, Grand Island and Hooking Valley
stocks. Adams Express was bid up 2 points
over yesterdays bid price without eliciting
any offers. American Express sold 212 points
over the last sale, and was bid up points
