New York, Feb. 10.-The most interest
ing feature of to-day's stock market was
the manner in which II regarded the
Spanish minister's resignation. In view of
the sensitiveness in the recent past to ev-
erything connected with the Cuban aues-
ton, its disregard of an incident inyolv-
ing so acute phase of feeling is note
worthy.
Prices advanced from the opening of
the market. Higher quotations from Lon
don gave IN impetus to the opening rise.
There was no great setback from the
opening tc the close of the market. The
only thing appro aching it was an occa
sional pause in the advance, but this was
simply due to a falling off in the buying
and not to heavy offerings Upon re-
newal of activity the upward movement
began again.
Considering the volume of the trad
ing the railway stocks were notably
small Local transactions scored the
largest advance and showed the heaviest
dealings of any group in the list. The
strength of the market showed a tenden-
ey to run to specialties. and Tobacco,
General Electric, Western Union and Sus-
quehanna & Western preferred were con-
spicuous In the movement. The mainstay
of the market was the buying on a large
scale of New York Central and the
strength of Northwestern, Omaha and
the other Vanderbilt stocks.
The grangers as group were strong.
Adams Express was bid up % points over
yesterdays price without elieiting any
offers American Express sold 2i2 points
over the last sale, and was bid up two
points higher.
The recent slight reaction in speculative
bonds terminated to-day and the general
movement was again Strongly upward on

would stand any show at all would be
those who were thoroughly familiar with

taken the precaution to mark their in

can hardly doubt after having heard all

A PERSISTENT FIREBUG.
The Fifth Unsuccessful Attempt to Fire
Several sand Coulee saloons.

Great Falls Feb. 1o.-An attempt was
made to burn down the saloons at the
back of the st. Louis beer hall at sand
Coulee. The ineendiary first saturated a
gunny sack with kerosene, and after put
ting a dose on the walls of the small
frame building next the ST. Louis beer
hall. which is now being used as coal
house, put the sack into a small hole in
the wall which had been formerly used
to pass drinks through, and touched a
match to IT. The cracking of the fire
awoke Thomas McDonal, who sleeps in
the back of the beer hall, and he, with
the assistance of Sheriff Mccoy, easily
put out the fire, it not having gained
Roadway. This is the NTH attempt to set
fire to that part of the town, and while
the evidence in each case was not conelu-
sive enough to warrant a prosecution,
still the insurance agents found 1t sutfi-
cient cause for their cancelling the policy
of the suspected party

firmed. il was received with credence by

Great Falls, Feb 10-An amusing story
is brought here from the northern coun-

English gold-seekers who came over here
from the old country and started for the
Yukon by way of the overland route. The
members were well fixed financially and
had contracted for a number of horses TO
be in readiness for them at Edmonton
They had notion however. that Canada
and the Northwest was a barren waste.
and they shipped over from England Il
liberal supply of baled hay for use ON
their trip.
The arrival of this hay consignment at
Montreal created some amusement among
Canadian officials, and their mirth was
still further increased by the discovery
that these very same bales formed part
of a Canadian hay shipment sent from
Montreal TO England some three months
ago.
