NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Feb 9-The stock market
went beyond the partial resistance to de
presslon which chtra cterized it. yester-
day. and developed positive strength, to-
day. in face of the continuance of de-
pressing factors. The lack of news of a
favorable character to account for the
advance IN prices drove observers back
upon the conclusion that yesterdays fall
comparatively slight as it was considered
was greater than was warranted by the
concurrence of the Baltimore fire with
the rupture between Russia and Japan.
The effect of the war on cur market
was scarcely perceptible from the outset
of trading. The conclusion has been
reached apparently that no harm to
American interests is to be feared direct
ly or indirectly from the war But a
n,oIe potent influence was the revulsion
from the fears caused by the early en-
tTeme estimates of the money loss from
the Baltimore calamity.
There was less apprehension over the
necessity of forced liquidation of securi-
ties by the insurance companies and a
greater confidence that they would be able
to secure credits sufficient to avoid the
necessity for any sacrifice of their Sc
GnritE holdingKat unremunerative prices.
This view of The situation does not dis
pose of tn" large requirements upon
credits and the probable effect upon mon
ey rates of this process.
The same contingency. was more or less
ignored in the view that Baltimore's mer
camille world would. be able to proceed
promptly upon the work of recuperation
by obtaining credits. The special diver
sion of this reconstructive expenditure
likely to flow into the steel trade was the
cxplana ton of the special demand for
