tanning to the Richmond election " hen

fell off three votes, while the Towers faction
fell oG 90. Ny supporters viewed 1t in this

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York. April 13.-London figures
were higher this morning. but foreign houses
we're doing little, and the dulness in tho stock
market continued unrelieved except for special
animation IN the Industrials, New Englsnd, and
the specialties, and later In the coal stocks.
STRONG TEMPER
The traders, rs ususl were the principal sell
ers but stocks were taken ut all concessions, ana
the general market while dun, displayei
strong temper, which Resulted IN slow put
steady appreciation In values all along tne me.
Some sensational stories OF intended litigation
against the Cordage Company forced the price
OF their common stock of per cent. ana ltt ior
the preferred. The stocks did not long rem ain
under the hammer, however. and rapid and
full recovery followed.
NEW ENGLAND
was another weak point In the early dealings,
and while no adequate explanation OF Its steady
decline Is forthcoming, it continues TO sag away
from day TO day. Tho loss to-day reached some
thing over per cent, and partial rally only
succeeded. Against these movements were I'd
be placed the new spurs in the LaSe Erie ana
Western stocks, which carried tho common up
about / per cent and the preferred nearly Z,
and which was accompanied by marked Strength
In the ndustrals and later in the Coalers, all OF
which were again advanced materially with
Delaware and Hudson IN the lead.
READING,
however, again took its old place ct the head OF
the speculation before the close and scored
much larger advance than usual OF late. There
were many rumors afioat as to the advantage TO
flow to all the coal roads from the Vanderbilt In
tcrest in the Delaware ana Hudson, and this
stimulated buying In the afternoon. The gene
