NEW YORK, Feb. 13-The new week al
the Stock Exchange opened with
q very dull market in which
transactions possessed little inter-
est except to traders and scalp
ers. The opening WAS very dull and
heavy. Losses were sustained in the
early trading, A declining tendency was
noticeable throughout the greater part of
the day, bat the market became intensely
dull, after the first hour few changes in
quotations were made. a better tone sp-
peared late In the day, and the close was
dull but firm. The net result of business is
that almost every thing is lower though
the losses are confined to fractions only.
The railroad bond market was q little
more animated, sales 81 ,257, 900. Changes
in p ices were unimportant.
Government bonds were dull, but

the floor with bullet hole through his
heart, and the carpet and his clothing sat-
urated with bloCd. An examination
showed that the pockets of his clothes had
been rifed of $50 in money, gold watch
and chain and other articles, and that an
unsuccessful attempt had been made to
drill into the safe, which stood in the
room. Mr.. Guthrie, it is supposed, heard
the burglars and went into the room with
his pistol drawn and was overpowered
and murdered, after which his pockets
were rifled and the murderers fed. The
