Effective Supporting Orders IN
the Stock Market.
SUBSTANTIAL RALLY NOTED
Orders Assumed to Be Backed by
Banking Interests"
LIVELY COVERING OF sHoRrc

LIVELY COVERING OF sHoRrf

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 51.-For the first
time in several weeks what apr cared to be
concerted and effective supporting orders
were observed today in the dealings in
number of influential stocks and In conse-'
quence after q very irregular and feve,i n
opening. the stock market enjoyed a really
substantial rally. In the jargon Of the
stock exchange the supporting orders in
question were assumed to have been ex-
tended by tn powerful banking inter-
ests." At any rate the street believed it
could detect purchases of this description In
such stocks as Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cific, Amalgamated Copper and the United
States Steel shares and was accordingly
duly impressed.
The first hours trading witnessed q mum
were all the more disconcerting because
they took place right in the face OF the
buying Of the character referred to. After
the first hours trading, however, these
f1uence. and the whole market moved up
ward, and in many instances quite extern
siveiy. The recovery In prices was unac-
companied by any actual news or fresh de-
been the case throughout the protracted de-
cline.
Some Lively Covering.
NATURALLY the feVefSdi OF tno IiidrAet .
form was attended and furthered by live
iy covering movement on the part Of the
short interests, but no substantial increase
in the business Of commission houses was
observed, except In the case Of those firms
more or less identified with the large bank
ing interest. whose operations today were
generally held accountable for the course of
the stock market.
There was virtual absence of any real
news or gossip, except of q technical char
acter accompanying the movements In par
ticular stocks. The most active features OF
the market were Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific, Reading, Atchison, Amalgamated
Copper and United States Steel common.
London was q factor of some consequence
chases being conducted for foreign account,
notably In United States Steel common.
Although this was the last day of the
month, there was no material disturbance
treasury was a creditor at today's clearing
house settlement to the extent OF more
than 100000 as the result of the pay
ment by the Central Pacific road Of the
semi annual installment on its debt to the
government and further large cash pay
ments will be made to the sub-treasury
tomorrow on account Of the return OF q
portion of the government funds which
have been lying in the national banks.
Losses by Banks.
There was some apprehension yesterday
lest these transactions should lead to moro
active money market conditions. but as
matter Of fact the greater part Of the days
borrowing on call was arranged between
21z and 81 per cent. The banks have lost
thus far during the week in their operations
with the subtreasury about 100000, sum
which is likely to be materially increased in
Saturdays weekly statement of averages.

8nnocence. and finally marres her mother. The
French characters under English names seem
unnatural and Mr.. Boucicault, clever artist
he is, does not help matters by converting the
peer into a coarse villain Of melodrama, nor
does the excellent Miss Filippi display her usual
sound judgment in making the mother a farcical
figure. Miss Pauline Chase IS charming in her
denotement OF childish irresponsibility. but is
not equally successful in more serious work
There is a strong cast, and the adaptation Of
the French work is tactfuI and deXterous. and
the general results ought to be better when
there has been time for a few judicious modi-
fications Of style. Nj Bouccault does not set
the right key for the comedy, and there are
false notes In other performances. The farcical
touches do not help TO render French ideas of

ELECTRIC CONVEyORS
On RAILROAD DOCK

The work of loading sugar ships at
the railroad docks has been greatly
improved of late by the introduction
Of the most modern machinery Four
electric eonveyors have been installed
which enable the sugar to be delivered
at each of the four matches of a large
vessel at the rate twenty-five sacks
per minute.
The saving in labor is very great as
under the new system there are only
thirty-four men needed where before
eighty-four could hardly handle the
work. Another feature that is new is
a big chute on which the conveyor
travels which reaches out over the wa
ter and can be raised and lowered at
will SO that no matter how high ship
is out of water the sacks of sugar can
be delivered where desired.
The plant works without hitch and
Supt. Harry Denison states that he be-
lieves it to be as convenient and COM
plete as any of it's kind in the country
The cOnVeyors are arranged on the
floors of the great shed used for stor-
ing sugar and no space is lost by the
fact that they are in the building With
the new plant the big American-Ha
waiian steamers are getting very
prompt dispatch.
