100000 pounds.

Stocks.-The most interesting feat
IRE OF to-day stock market was the
manner in which it regarded the
Spanish minister's resignation. In
view of the sensitiveness in the recent
EdeI W SfCi lnlHS COuuSCltU Win btlS
Cuban question, itS disregard of an in
cdent involving so acute a phase of
feeling is not worthy. The view taken
on the subject in Wall street was that
the possibility or danger in it had been
ayerud by the firm and the prompt
action with which the incident has
been treated by the government. The
prices advanced from the opening Of
the market Higher quotations from
London gave an impetus to the open
ing rise There was no general set
back from the opening to the c}Ose of
the market The only thing approach
ing it was an occasional pause in the
advance but this was simple due to a
falling off in the buying and not to
heavy offerings. Upon a rencwal of
activity the upward movement began
again. Advances were not uniform
and were net simultaneous. Consider
ing the volume Of the trading for the
lay, the rise in some Of the stocks was
notably small Among these which
show large gains the advances were
made al different times during the day,
irst Gre and then another stock or
Group Of stocks being taken up and

scored the largest advances and show

in money rates to-day and sterling eX-
change continued firm. The recent
slight reaction in speculative bonds
terminated to-day and the general
movement was again strongly upward
