NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The approach
ing Easter holidays and the fact that the
fate of the seigniorage bill has not been
decided as yet, checked business at the
Stock Exchange to-day. The undertone
Of the market might BE- called firm; the
MT changes for the day, except in rare
Instances, showing gains Of i4Uni per
cent, Canada Southern leading. Reading,
Burlington and Quincy. Delaware ana
Hudson. and New Jersey Central, Big

Of the low-prlced bonds. Foreign pur-
chases for the past few days have been
large enough to influence the sterling eX-
change market perceptibly. ana rates
are lower. Consequently less IS heard
Of gold exports. and this in itself Is an
argument in favor of those operating for
higher prices. The Changers were rela-
lively stronger than the other issues, the
February statement of the Northwestern
having been more favorable than ex-
pectcd. In the low-priced stocks Texas
Pacific Kansas and Texas. and st. Louis
Southwestern were all a shade higher on
a slightly increased business. The com
paratiycly good statement of the Texas
Pacific for 1883 started up the inquiry.
In the Industrials, Sugar was very in
active. and reflected the recent heavy
reallzations. The stock ranged between
SS5. and sgis. and closed at S9's-a gain for

expresamente ei dia en- que Sc debe

dc una election, y los referdos conf
sionados obedeciendo debidamente los

cion en- el dia propio y dieron los GER

d su competitor Thompson, que tuvo
menos votos, un certihcado de election
Ell hecho de que va habian transcurri-

siendo necesario un pretexto para con

cho condado, y desechando Ia votacion
del mismo, dieron certifcado d Thomp-
son, a quien el pueblo no quiso elegir
como su representante, sin mas funda-
mento que por ser democrata y porque
necesitaban aTebatar cuantos MEM
bros de la camara fuera possible fin
de alcanzar la mayoria. Este alegato
de fraudes es tanto mas ridiculo cuanto
que los miembros del cuerpo de enre-
distraction y los jueces de election dc
todos los precintos del condado perte.
necian en- su mayoria al partido demo
erata, y los republicanos, aunque hu-
bieran querido no podian hacer nada
