During The week ending to-day there has been IA

bat without any particular activity in trade. Al
though the prices of this class Of merchandise were
pnca0mcually low yet there always IS "A necessity
that some reason should be ascrbed for change m
the course Of the market. particularly If the market
happens 20 be quiet or duh. 20 now the advance IA

At the Stock Exchange the speculation has been
variable The total transactions in stocks for the
week were l.)0j. 1913 shares. which compare Win
lI53 l97 shares for the preceding week, and =
2I4.J47 shares for the week preceding that. After
man and frequent fluctuations the majority of
stocks show an advance over the closing prices %!
wees a1o, ranging from . 90 ia cent; the latter
named advance being IN Harlem al 1543i. against
80 last Friday after having sold up to 100. Ohio
and Mississippi preferred shows an advance Of ~
Der cent, Rock Island an advance OF 32
per cent and closes at rs pest price. Chlcago' bbt-
inltou and Quincy is per cent higher also at ia
best figure. OF the speculative stocks, Central OF
N,v-Jersey at 4j5s shows the greatest gain -2's
percent which is decline Of a from its best.
Hannibal and 1t. Joseph preferred comes next,
with a gain of 2ls per cent, after losing 3
per cent of its extreme advance. Tile final
advances in the other stocks do NOT ex-
coed L., per cent While on the other side
Erie preferred has lost Is, Erie, Mich gan Central
and ST. Paul preferred each 4, Central and Hnd-
SON -. Northwest and Hannibal and ST. Joseph
each 70, Western Union los, and Lake Shore per
cent.
During the entire week prices have moved up and
down without apparent rhyme reason. AZ if the
fluctuations were dependent upon turning of dice,
and the complaints of matched orders and other
Illegitinate methods of manipulation again arc
heard on every SIDE; all of which tends to contne
,he speculation to a comparatively few persons who
thu are able make prices what they please to have
them.

Attorney Croak opened the for the people.
The first witness was Caten Murray. who Lived in

Sisk discharge his pistol at about midnight in front
Of the house; he heard the prisoner call from his

WHAT DEGREE OF MURDER?

Abraham Brewer was yesterday placed on trial in
Paterson. N. j.. on charge Of murder. Prosecutor
Woodruff opened the case, stating that he would
accused about midnight Of September 2s. at Passaic
City, engaged in alteration with Frank Girard
which resulted in fight Brewer getting the worst
Of it, pleaded for mercy, and then pretended to go
home. He had. however. only gone about twenty
yards whom he stopped and called to Girard to
to him. Grard advanced rather cautiously. and when
he noticed that Brewer about to throw large
rock ut HIM. at once dropped upon his hands and
knees. Brewer hurled the stone. which passed over
Girard and struck young man named John King,
Brewer promptly indicted for murder, the
Judge in his charge to the Grand Jury declaring
it to be the law OF the State that intention and ho
eide combined constituted murder.
Brewer called Girard to come back showed premedi-
taton, and that the jury could infer from the size
of the stone thrown that he had intended to Kill
Girard. Accidentally not killing the man he in
tended to kill could not constitute valid defence in
New Jersey. Should the jury, however, find that
Brewer did not intend to kill but only to do bodily
harm, then he would be guilty of murder in the
second degree.
The accused is twenty-sx years Of age and has
been in prison on several charges. He repre-
sented by z. NJ Ward and Henry X. Coddngton and
did not show the least emotion. His wife.
accompanied by her three children. tho eldest
not three years Of age, took seat
by his side az did also his aged mother.
Der of witnesses sworn, but the testimony
only varied from the statement Of the given
above in unimportant particulars. When the court
was ready to adjourn the States evidence was all
drunk. had intention to kill or do serious
harm to any one.
