nothing of interest developed. The only
firm market on the floor was provisions,
and the excellent demand which packers

the cause for speculative strength.

Speculation Was Quiet Again at the Stock
 Exchange Yesterday.


 Speculation Was Quiet Again at the Stock
 Exchange Yesterday.
 New York, Jan. 25.-Speculation at the stock exchange was quiet again to- day. The opening was quiet, following which an advance of A@15s per cent. took place. The firmness at this time was partly the result of reduction in the posted rates of sterling excange of one-half cent, to $4.85@$4.S71a and part ly to the fact that the bears did not continue their raid of Saturday. The loss in the St. Paul earnings for the third week of January, which proved to be much smaller than expected, was also used with good effect. London again sold in the local market, parting with about five thousand shares of va rious stocks.
 In the industrial group General Elec- trio was notably firm on the announce ment that the deal for the equipping of the Fourth, Sixth and Eighth ave- nue surface lines had been perfected. Tobacco, however, was depressed drop ping 15s, to 73A, on the legal complica- .tions of the company.
 The feature of the afternoon trading was the heaviness of the anthracite coalers. Laekawanna fell 2h. to 152; Delaware and Hudson 23s, to 106ss; Jer- sey Central 2h, to 9S, and Reading B, to 25as. The selling was based on the belief that the annual reports of the large companies now about due will compare very unfayorably with previ- ous years.
 Official statements that the New York and Canada, one of the Delaware and Hudson leased lines, had issued s1, 900 GOO 412 per cent. gold debenture bonds last year led to free selling of Delaware and Hudson shares and play ed right into the hands of the bears.
 The general list yielded A to IA per cent. from the highest of the morning in sympathy with the coalers, but in the final dealings there was a fraction al rally. The market closed rather weak in tone.
 Net changes show losses of A@5s per cent. in the general list and 1@21a per cent. in the coalers.
 Bonds were firmer to-day. The trans actions footed up $1,015,O0O.

At the Hyperion,

"Sue," a play adapted by Edgar Pemberton from one of Bret Harte's novels, was given an interesting pro- duction last evening before a fair sized audience at the Hyperion. The presenting company was headed by An nie Russell, who Is one of the most charming and competent actresses of her time. The principal male role was played by that excellent character &C., tor, Joseph Wheelock.
 The piece was chiefly interesting for the clever way in which the adaptor had retained the local color of Bret Harte's story. The character drawing was good, if not masterful. The prin- cipal interest centers in Sue herself, and had not this character been vital- ized by Annie Russelrs distinct individ- uality, the plot would probably have lost it's point. The mountings and &C., cessorles were elaborate and fitting.

TO REBUILD HEAT0N, DOCK
THE NEW HAVEN LINE WILL RE-
 CONSTRUCT THEPIER.

Permission Granted Last Evening by the Harbor Commissioners - Wholesalers Harbor Enterprise In Years-WiIl Re- lieye Belle Dock.
 The harbor commissioners last even- ing granted the New Haven Steamboat company permission to extend the old Heaton dock at the foot of East street. The enterprise which the steamboat company will begin at once is destined to be one of the most important that has been accomplished along the har- DOT front for many years. By the i'm proVement, what is now practically an abandoned and useless short wharf will become one of the finest docks along the harbor. The company has for some time been making it's plans to build the dock, and the necessity of the improvement has become more ap- parent with the increase of business.
 The new dock will be 300 feet long, built of piling and heavy plank and will be sixty feet wide. The approach from the harbor is deep and the dis tance from the wholesale district is less than one half that of Long wharf, where large part of the heavy freight is now >unloaded
 A commissioner said last evening that 1000 barrels of molasses were last spring docked at Long wharf, which is fast falling into decay, and which in a few years will not be safe for teams to haul off.
 The new enterprise will be fitted up with all the modern Improvements for loading vessels and will in the course of a short while take the bulk of the cargoes consigned to firms that use their own docks.
 Another long felt want will be sup piled by the new dock, namely, a suit able landing for the various excursion boats. Patrons of these popular and almost necessary adjuncts to life in summed will not need to cross the ra1l- road tracks en route to the boats, now will they have to make the circuitous route around the freight buildings at Belle dock. as has been necessary at times.
 The new dock will be we'll lighted and furnished with a broad plank walk.
 Ex- Councilman Charles I, French, agent of the company, appeared be- fore the commissioners last evening with the plans of the dock and a chart of the land owned by the com pany adjacent to the EAaton dock, He said that it was not the intention of the steamboat company to abandon Belle dock, nor to stop its regular boats from making trips from there, but to relieve the congestion of trade which would he sure to follow the coming of spring

fairs and performed, Not the thirty thousand pounds realized by Madame Nilsson in America ever gave her the delight of the humble coins put into her mothers hand after returning from the fairs.
 Christina Nilssons voice, with all the freshness of birds, excited strange interest among the crowd of pleasure seekers. One day Bishop Thornerhjelm heard the girl sing. The good man stood dazed. "She must visit these places no more!" he said something must be done for her." Good as his word, the clergyman sought the booth girls mother and father, proposing plans for their daughters education. A lady likewise-the Baroness Lem heusen-became practically interested in the scheme Christina soon quilted Vexio and was placed under tutors for music and languages. Berwald, the composer, went into raptures over the lgirl's voice, proving one of her fastest and most enthusiastic friends. Then came long and laborious application at Madame Collinets academy at Paris, not long quilted by Trebelli and Marie Roze. After heightened novitiate, Christina Nilsson sang before Rossini and Meyerbeer. Their verdict was an augury of the highest success. It led to the Swedish girls dbbut before a Partisan audience. It took place on her twenty first birthday, in the part of Violetta, the heroine of La Traviata." The tide of fame and fortune speedily advanced. Nor could that be a matter of wonder. What auditory not born deaf to the charm of music could resist the spell of voice at once wonderfully sweet and fluent-impelled also by thought so elevated and sentiment so poetic? Madame Nilsson repeated the role twenty-seven times.-Lloyd's s News

CHRISTINA NILSSON, COUNTESS
 DE MIRANDA.

CAS NlAIl<11N bA.
 Nearly fifty years ago a serious inci- dent took place in Swedish town. A blue-eyed, golden-haired little girl peered into the windows of a fancy ware store. She was wondering whether her purse held enough to buy a pocketbook. It was to be a birthday gift for schoolfellow Plucking up heart, the child went in. Toys, pic- lures, books, all seemed beyond her. Tears rose in the wanderers eyes, and she thought of departing A good spir- it yet hovered near. The girl saw a fiddle and bow. Soon she drew forth sweet music. By-and-by the player found rapt ears, and when the last notes died kindly voices cried out, Play again, little one" Money enough was gathered for pretty pocketbook and balance left to take home. The violinist was Christina Nilsson.
 Everything in her life story reads like aIn idyll by Willin or Tegner. Born in the land of Jenny Lind fifty-three years hence, Christina Nilsson's earliest memories are of humble and pious home, and of open-air joys in the pine woods adjacent. The youngest of large family, she was often the com panion of her father, a forester, who toiled from dawn to sundown. To 6. musical genius like his daughter, the sounds of nature-birds enrolling, the wind rustling symphonies in the foii- ages, and the undertone of the rippling streams-awoke responsive chords. She began to warble. In union with a fiddler brother the twain made the long dark evenings at home joyous by strings and voice. Brother and sister grew adventurous. They stole to the
