New York, Feb. lS.--The net changes In
stock prices with the day were irregular
with slight fractional advances predoml-
mating, although In some important stocks
the advance was considerable. The deal
ing were very large for q Saturday short
selling, almost 100000 shares being traded
in. London was early a seller and later
repurchased about half OF that amount.
A moro confident sentiment regarding
the situation at Paris, accompanied the
election OF new president or france.
The standard shares were genrally strong
while tho feature OF the market was the
sensational advance in Tobacco which
made net gain of 1Tii after an extreme
advance Of almost 20. The dealings in
this stock wore of n very sensational
character, the variations between sales
running either way from to points. The
movement was generally considered as dt-
rected against the short interests. Sales,
