late the demand for that fruit and trade was
more active yesterday than for some weeks

sucn offerings of extra fancy fruit were firmly
held. There was the usual pressure 70 sell
small and medium sized fruit, but there was
very little doing IN that line OF goods. Tan
gerlnes were steady and the large sizes OF
Grape Fruit were firm at the maximum quota

NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-The stock market
went beyond the martial resistance to the de-
preston which characterized IL yesterday and
developed positive strength to-day, in face Of
lack Of news OF a favorable character to ac-
count for the advance in prices drove observ-
ers back to the conclusion that yesterday s
fall. comparatively slight as IL was consid-
cred. was greater than warranted by the
concurrence OF the Baltimore fire with the
rupture between Russia and Japan The violent
again accepted as a demonstration this morn
ing that there was a considerable element
abroad which had still clung TO a slender
hope Of peace, even after the severance Of
diplomatic relations, and whose hope was
blasted with the outbreak OF active hostlities
The effect market was scarcely percept-
ible from the outset OF the trading. The con-
ciusion has been reached apparently that no
harm 70 American interests is TO be feared,
directly or indirectly, from the war. But a
more potent influence was a revulson from
the fears caused by early extreme estimates
OF the money loss from the Baltimore calamity

settlements and to extend credits promised
