SAN Francisco. Dec. 1.-THE testimony
in the matter of the opposition of John ii.
Burke to the allowance of the executors ae-
count In the estate of w. s. O'Brien deceased,
shows that on July 10, 1873, James &. Fair
purchased OF the estate 81, l42 shares of stock,
Consisting OF California, Consolidated Vir-
Vinia, Yellow jacket and Ophir, for $62,a02,
The average market value OF the same at the
time being 81 .04T, ,a6l.
The great difference In the selling and mar
ket value Is accounted for by the executors
on the ground that so large an amount ot
stock could not have been sold at better rates
at public sale, and any attempt to do SO would
have smashed the market value OF the stock
