MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stacks.

New York FEB. 9.-The most notable
the strong rally in the last l. minutes Of
trading. After o'clock. the bears start
ed raid, apparently with an aggressive
determination to shake out weakly mar
eincd holdings and to reach stop loss or
derS. They seemed to be succeeding adj
mirahlY in forcing down prices. declines
ranging from one to two points all
through the list. but the appearance of
support at the low level led to a covering
movement. which became Il rush and the
closing was very like rout of the bears.
Substantial recoverieS were scored very
generally, and in large number of cases
the earlier declines were entirely wiped
out. The market was one of ups and
downs all day, the opening showing nu-
merouS signs OF heaVineSS in spite of
higher range of prices reported from
London. The bulls promptly offered sup
port and rallied the market. holding their
advantage up to noon, when a tendency
to realize again sent prices downward.
The Cuban situation discouraged agE"e@-
sive tactics on the part of the bulls. the
professional traders being disposed to
realize all day.
There was also a decrease in the Vol
ume of business and a falling off in the
outside interest. The declines, howe .c:',
brought out good buying Michigan,
Northwest and Omaha showed special
signs Of strength and the local street
railways advanced quite vigorously.
Union Pacific securities were AL ..r,ro

POSYMARKS ON LETTERS.
she'r Ori9i", Use and Value Discussed Briefly.

1oStmarks serve to hold the postohce
responsible. In this country they were
hrSt used to mark the time when letters
arrived at the office of final delivery to
addresses. Good evidence on this point
Is to he found in the Massachusetts pos
tai law of 1893. which provided that the
salu postmaster his agents or servants,
upon the coming in of every post do
marx every letter with a print. to show
the day of the month and year when ev-
cry letter came in" Fiscal reasons add
ed the postmark showing when a letter
was mailed. This led to some confusion
which still clings to the service
The postmark showing the time of
mailing is usually placed on the address
side of letters. and is called the postmarl<
or the mailing stamp. The postmark
showing the time of arrival at the office
or maj delivery is usually placed on the
back of letters. and is called backstamp
or receiving stamp, but appears on the
front of postcards
Additional confusion arises from, the
uSv Of the word stamp to denote the
bits OF paper that secure PREPAYMENT of
postage. The obvious remedy would be
to contlne the term stamp to these bits of
paper. and To call the postal marks sim
ply marks. red to he used at the final
office of delivery. black at the mailing Of

marks should be simplitied. so as to be
