Finance and Markets

NEW YORK, March 1.-Quoted stock values experienced additional severe impairment today, extensive of ferings for both accounts being pre- cipitated by various departments and incidents more or less discouraging.
 The heavy tone at the outset was intensified when cables from London indicated that the proposals submitted by Germany to the separations com mission had fallen far short of con servative expectations.
 During the mid season, announce ment was made of the passing of the Graphophone. Statements of poor earn ings, including that of the American Woolen company, were among other factors which contributed to the ad- ditional crumbling of prices.
 General Asphalt registered a decline of almost nine points on rumors of a dissolution of the bull pool and kindred shares, notably Mexican Petroleum and Royal Dutch lost one to two points. Other specific instances of weakness embraced Atlantic Gulf at new low record, steels, motors, tobaccos and sundry specialties at gross recessions of one to five points.
 Rails of the Pacific and Granger division were under pressure, probably on the rejection of the Burlington" bond plan, falling one to 31s points with several of the coalers Pennsyl vania displaying unusual activity. Covering on steels, oils and shippings effected moderate improvement at the irregular close. Sales 600,0oO shares
 Trading in bonds was broad, with recoveries in Liberty issues, but the general list, including convertible rails and industrials was irregular Total sales, par value, s9,175, 900.

CHICAGO EXCHANGE

CHlCAGO, March 1-Bullish political news from Europe gave a little firm ness to the wheat market today. Be- sides, there was some evidence of foreign demand. Most of the trading, however, was of 8 local character, and the market was easily influenced. Opening quotations, which ranged from 14c decline to a like advance, with March s1.6611 and May $1.561a to S1.57. were followed by moderate general gains and then by numerous changes both ways from yesterdays finish.
 Corn paralleled the action of wheat Continued call from the seaboard was noted. After opening unchanged to Ac higher, including May 6SRc to 6s the market hardened further, and then reacted somewhat.
 Oats were governed by the course of other cereals, starting 1sc to Ac higher; May 447sc to 45c, and keeping within a narrow range.
 Provisions advanced owing chiefly to strength in the hog market.

for the purpose of completing the
sale, Pierce was lured to the woods
in the night time, where he was
assaulted by Fields ard killed by
blows over his head with ham

was robbery, since Fields had in

Fields claimed that he had sold |

Pierce in the trade, and that,
