THEORY.
The east-bound passenger train passes mere
from Lynchburg at 3:05 A. N. and the west
bound train at 5:32 A. NJ, and the theory 10
that the child was brought here from Lyncn-
burg ON the one, the party having IL In onnso
returning on the other before daylight ms Is
upheld by statement made 10 tbe DIsPAIoh
reporter by Mr.. Houstt n, whom the newspaper
man interviewed this morning. 1.-The con-
dnctor OF the train coming east" said Mr.. hous,
ton, when about at Psmplin station noticed
an infant IN the arms CT weil-dressed young
woman, who was ticketed to Rico station twnicn
Is eight miles east Of Farrnyille), aud when that
place was arrived at she was assisted from tue
car without the child.
Two hours after the arrival at Rice OF the tram
upon which the woman was seen with the Dapy'
the wcst-bornd train steamed into the village
and this same woman boarded IL and returned
to Lynchburg. These are the main cream
stances, together with the Significant inquiries
OF the police, which give rise TO the theory OF It's
being q Lynchburs baby.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. April 1.-the stock market to-day
displayed in the main firm temper on very
moderate volume OF business, and while there
were two or three weak points the 1rmness was
extended to the whole list. NThe foreign pur-
chases OF st. Paul, Union Pacific, Erie, Louis
Vile and Nashville, and a few others, made the
temper OF the market during the early morning,
when all OF the Improvement was made, but the
demand was limited, and with the closing OF the
London market there was material decrease In
the amount OF business done. and except In the
coal stocks a perceptbie falling OF In the
strength Of the dealings After New England,
Manhattan was one Of the most conspicuous
weak points In the list. In this stock further
advance OF "a per cent was followed by q loss OF
ia, when all interest In It's movements ceased,
and IL remained practically stagnant, with ma
iority o. the list.
FEW FEATURES OF NOTE
The market as whole displayed few features OF
note, the strength In the London fayorites In the
forenoon, which resulted in advances extending
to Ia per cent, with Union Pacific In the lead,
and the advance OF 10 per cent. In Consolidated
Gas in the afternoon bong TIE only notable
gains, while losses OF over per cent In Atchi-
son, New England, and Manhattan neutraliZed

The increased deposits OF the Richmond and
West Point securities served to enhance the
value OF the preferred stock, and IL rose from
"a TO 5S, but the common was no more steadily
held, exhibiting no feature whatever The In
dustriais were comparatively neglected, with
the exception OF Cordagc. which was specially
strong and active 5todng q marked Improve

higher at the opening on the London demand,
and continued 20 improve slowly as long as that
buying lasted, but later, under the influence OF
the bear!sh operations fell away partially.
THE CLOSE QUIET But FIRM.
The late strength in the Coalers, however,
gave firm temper to the trading In the whole
