STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 26.-There was no
change in conditions in the stock market
to-day. The depressing influence of
Thursdays failure continues to overhang
the market and to discourage any specu-
lative activity. A large proportion of the
days small business was given over to
transactions in settlement of the failed
firms affairs.
The firm of brokers whose buying yes
terday was said to represent transfer
of the accounts of the customers of Price
Mccormick & Co, was again a conspic-
uous operator to-day. These operations
represent re-entry into the market of
some customers of the failed firm, TO whom
loans were paid off when their contracts
were closed out, under the rule of the
exchange, or whose commitments are TAX
en- over from the suspended firm by other
houses This operation is a sustaining in
fluence on prices and was especially evil
dent to-day in Union Pacific.
The prevalent belief that the banks
which hold the firms collateral for loans
will not, all of them throw the collateral
on the market for forced sale to liquidate
the loans also served to relieve apprehen-
sion to some extent. Authoritative denials
of some of the rumors put in circulation
of further financial difficulties, was an
influence towards relieving depression.
These factors,f it will be observed, were
rather negative in character but they
served to keep the market pretty steady.
The sharp rally in cotton was a favorable
factor.
The shorts covered in sugar, railroad
earnings reported were favorable, especial
ly the April statements of net earnings of
the Hooking Valley and the Atchsons and
the strength of those stocks helped the
rest of the market. The close was never
theless steady at concessions from highest
prices. American Ice declined further on
the prosecution instituted against the COM
pany. Brooklyn Union Gas rose on the
belief that 1t would benefit by the settle
ment of the gas war, and Union Bag pre-
ferred recovered from the weakness caus-
ed by forced sales yesterday. The bank
statement was about as expected and was
without influence on the market.
Dealings in bonds have been small and
unimportant.
United States refunding 2s, when issued,
declined ~ and old As and 5s Il in the bid
price. The rs advanced "a per cent.
The total sales of stocks were 81, 500
shares, including Atchison preferred, STA;
Union Pacific, S,625; Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit, 5000; Sugar, $40

TWO CONVICTED OF ASSAULT.
Some Heavy Sentences Passed by
Court Mt VnIdosta.


Valdosta, Ca. May 26.-The Superior
Court adjourned yesterday Spencer. Scott,
the negro who was convicted of an assault
upon a little negro girl, was sent to tie
penitentiary for twenty years, the jury
having recommended him to the me CIV
of the ,court.
A young white boy named Charlie Mil
Ter was on trial for a similar crime COM
mitted in the western part of the city
two weeks ago. He was only fifteen years
of age. He was convicted Of an assault
with intent TO commit rape upon a little
negro girl and was sent TO the peniten-
tiary for seven years. A great many
negroes were in the court house during
these two trials and they seemed highly
pleased by the sentence imposed upon the
white boy
Richard Finch, who obtained $500 from a
bank upon drafts which he had forged.
pleaded guilty and was sent to the peniten-
tiary for seven years.
Isaac McFadden, the negro who stole
COWS and killed them in order to get their
hides 10 sell to junk dealers here, also
pleaded guilty and was sent up for four
years.
Arthur Jones and Archie jenkins were
sentenced for one year on the chain-gang
in default of 500 fine, having been con-
victed of stealing hides with a recomnen-
dalton for mercy.
VIII Davis was on trial for assault with
intent to murder, Marshal Buck Martin at
Lake Park some time ago. Davis went
TO sleep in a store and was discovered
by the proprietor during the night. The
proprietor thought he was trying 10 bur-
glarize his place, so posses was called
to help arrest him. The negro ran and
Martin was shot, though number of pis-
tolls were fired at the same time. Under
all the circumstances, the jury recon-
mended that he be punished as for mis-
demeanor, so his fine was placed at 500, or
a year in the Changing.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships and
Shipping.

The opening of the Georgia and
Alabama's terminals across the river will
about double Savanpah's harbor room by
taking many vessels to that side to load
and discharge cargoes. There has not
been and complaint of lack OF harbor
room this year because of the less number
of vessels which have arrived, but it is
possible later that many will be here at
the same time as has been the case in
years past, so that the more cognmodious
berth room makes any Inconvenience in
docking vessels improbable. Vessels have
been entering the new slips for some time,
and some are now discharging cargoes
there.
Two excursions will be run by river
steamers to-day. The steamer Santee will
leave the foot of Abercorn street at 3
o'clock and Thunderboldt at 1890 for War
saw Island. The Alpha will leave the foot
of Whitaker street at $3.50 this afternoon
for old ocean, giving the excursionists a
trip Off Tybee.
The schooner Jennie Thomas arrived
yesterday with a cargo of coal consigned
TO the Herman Coal and Wood Company
and the Isabella Gill with coal consigned
to the Domestic Coal Company.
The steamer Clifton, which has been on
Willink's Marine Railway several days
was hauled off yesterday.
The pilot boat J. II Estill is being rap
idly repaired at the foot of East Broad
street.
The tug Regis. which was recently dam
aged by fire will probably be ready to haul
out on the marine railway tomorrow or
Tuesday.
