STOCKS AND BONDS.


New York, Feb. .26.-There was
moderate volume of business on the stock
exchange today, but the trading was I'M
settled in tone and the prices were in
the majority of cases below the final sales
of yesterday. Speculation opened dull,
but firm, and some slight gains were
made. A raid on Chicago Gas was
soon made which sent that stock down
l 5-Sc and weakened the general market.
The declining tendency was checked be-
fore IL o'clock and a rally of 1-S@1-4c
took place, led by the Cordage stocks,
which came into good demand, the buy
ing, it is believed, was for the account
of new bull pool. A drive against the
Changers was made about 1 o'clock,
which was chiefly directed toward North
west, that stock giving way 1c, Burling-
ton and st. Paul 3-Sc and Rock Island
1-4c. The depreciation was communi-
Gated to the rest of the list, which reced-
ed 1-S@5-Sc. After delivery hours the
market became firmer and a partial re-
coyery took place which ranged up to
7-Sc, speculation being fairly steady at
the close. 81. af.
e; London was in the market only to q
small extent and mainly as a seller of
the International securities. The market
was almost entirely in the hands of pro.
fessional traders. There was a slight
trading in bonds today and in the early
part of the day prices sagged off, but in
the late session a firmer feeling prevailed
and the closing was in good tone. The ag
gregate sales were $500, 900.

It Took the Jury Just Ten Minutes TO

Dallas. Tex, Feb. 26.-(Special.)-The
Jury in the Amos Brewer murder case
were out just ten minutes when they
brought in q verdict of acquittal.
Rrewer was tried for the murder OF
Ira Il. Oliver near Farmers Branch, last
Jnlv. Brewer and Oliver had been work
ing together, and on the day of the death
of Oliver they separated near where me
body was found, Brewer to return to ms
home near Paris, and Oliver to go 10
Fannin county in search OF WORK.
Every one Of the states witnesses co
roborafed Brewers statement in detaiL
except Miss Minnie Williams, who testi-
fed that Brewer told her he killed ODver;.
Al the inquest the only wound found on
Oliver was where his throat had been cut.
But Miss Williams testified on the pri-
mary trial that Brewer told her ne shot
Oliver in the back Of the head and theh
cut his throat. The bodyof Oliver was tnen
exhumed and a bullet hole found in the
back of his head.
The state failed to prove any motive 1of
the murder. Brewer, a mere boy, was coof
in deportment, straightforward and per
fectiy consistent in his statements tnrougn-
out. by which he made q most fayoraDlee
impression on the court, jury and specta-
tors. Yet the mistrustful part OF tnematter

have fold her about it. Another mystery

CHICAGO.

Chicago, Feb. 2G.-Prices again showed
great firmness. The demand was unusu-
ally spirited and with scarcely 1000 cat
tie in the pen holders did not find it
necessary to look for buyers; the average
of prices were about 1Oc higher than for
yesterday, or 20M30 cents higher than at
the close of last week.
Very common steers sold at $31003.S5
and the offerings did not need to be choice
to bring $5@5.25. Most of the days
business was done at $4.25M5.25 for

The fresh and stale offerings combined
amounted to not more that "a 900 and
as the quality was good and demand ac-
tive, the pens were closed at an earlier
hour than usual. Prime heavy hogs were
taken at $4.30@4.35 and $3.9504 was
paid for light. From those prices sales
ranged downward to $3.90M395 for COM
mon and heavy and $3.70M3.75 for COM

sold principally at $3.S5Ca3.9o:
There was unaccountable demand for
sheen and lambs and the market was
weaker. While the arrivals were COM
