New York, Feb 10.-The most interesting feature of todays stock market was the manner in which it regarded the Spanish ministers resignation. In view of the sen SltivenesS n the recent past to everything connected with the Cuban queston, it's dis regard of an accident involving so acute phase of feeling is noteworthy. The view taken of the subject in Wall street was that the possibility of danger in it had been avoided by the firm and prompt manner in which the incident had been treated by the governnenb Prices advanced from the opening of the market. Quotations from London gave an impetus to the open ing rise. There was no general set back from the opening to the close The only thing approaching 1t was an occasional pause in the advance, but this was simply due to falling off in the buying and not to heavy offerings. Upon a renewal of activity the upward movement began again. Advances were not uniform and were not simultaneous. Considering the volume of the trading for tine day the rise in some stocks was notably small.
 In those which show large gains the ad- vances were made at different times dur ing the day, first one and then another group of stocks being taken up and pushed. The local traction securities scored the largest advances and showed the heaviest dealings of any group in the list. The strength of the market showed a tendency to run to the specialties and TODacco, Genefal GleCIrlc, WeSlerH CuioH and ssusquehanna and Western preferred were conspicuous in the days movements Pullman added five more points to it's re- markable advance.
