” Sy ° 4 —_—— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Faipay, Feb, 26—6 P. M, Government bonds were again the feature of Wall « Street, but while tie transactions of to-day were less excited play, verday the tone of the market was Arm and budsant, dicer & turthér advance in 62s of about three-quarters of one per cent, The changes, in gold have beg. to follow ghe advance in Loudon 80 closely tial ixe pridd Of Horta im the home ar ket instantaucousiy dads ite level, Tes2Fiuisé from Washington predict the speedy passage of the ‘Schenck bill ta the Senate and report a disposition to act upon the Hooper bill, This letter manifestation indicates a reversal of the tactics of the “Washing- > ton ring” im Wall street. ‘They suppressed the Hooper bill to depress governments, but were taken aback by the Schuck bil Now that they find it impossible to contend against the tendency ‘of the market they have “covered” weir “short” trausackions, et great loss, it 13 to be presumed, aud are operating for a rise. Their abandonment of tie bear side 1s also indicated by the diminished borrowing demand for bonds, The “price in London at the close this afternoon was 813. Should the schenck bili pass with the amendment striking out the ».oviso as to preliminary resump- tion it will oniy serve to stimulate the forcign demand. The home demand at the present time ig augmented by orders irom the country.

These were the extreme rates both ways, the bulk of business being in tho vicinity of two to three per cent for carrying. ‘the transactions at the Gold Exchange baak were as follows: $93,222,000 2,182, 884 on 2,700,355 Money was Wiiiout change. Commercial paper passed at seven and a half to nine per cent dis- count. Foreign exchange was unsettled, and the quotation for prime bankers’ sterling (sixty days) Tauged from 103% to 109, At the close sight bills Were reported seiliag at 109, but little was doing after the steamer, ‘The stockholders of the Northern Central Rallroad, at their annual meeting yesterday in Baltimore, elected the foliowing directors:—J. D. Cameron and ‘William Colder, or Harrisburg; A. E. Kopp, of Northumberlaud; Goorge Small, B, F, Newcome and 8. M. Shoemaker, of Baltimore; E. OC. Biddle, John M. Kennedy, Jacob P. Jones, Westar Morris and Ed- Mund Smith (the latter in place of John A, Wright, absent in Europe), of Philadelphia, and Heury Weish, of York. The newly-elected directors subse- quently met and re-elected John D, Cameron Presi- Gent, aiso John W. Dubarry Vice President. Considering the cheeriess and uninviting aspect of the vicinity of the Stock Exchange, operators were in good attendance to-day and the volume of business was moderately large. The first effect of the weather outside was depressimgon prices inside, and the mar- ket opened weak and drouping. As the day wore on its character improved and prices returned to steadi- ness, if not strength, for the general list. Pacific ‘Maul Is still the feature and was quite restless in the vicinity of par, the heavy short interest created by the recent advance to 103 keeping it from yielding. Its fluctuations were not go wide to-day as they have been. The street was unusually devoid of gossip and “points” and business went on very quietly, Rock Island was weak in consequence of the telegram announcing the prospective action of the Illinois Legisiature in the matter of regulating elections Of railway directors, Whatever the object of the biil, its effect was to depress the stock to 1255, but those who remembered that a similar bill in the Pennsylvania Legislature was deemed unconstl- tutional bought at the decline, and the price had fully recovered at the close. The Northwestern stocks exhibited parailel fluctuations. Tbe most active stock was Mariposa preferred, which ts under- going a “movement” and touched 32%. New York Central was steady at 164, ita fluctuations being contined to aa elguth or quarter per cent each side of that fgure. Express stocks had another “tum- bie,” Adams going down to 6534, and the list an average of three or four per cent. At these lowest figures the “shorts” covered, and prices recovered about two percent. , Prices closed as follows at the last regular board:— Canton, 603, @ 60%; Cumberland, 37 a 38; Western Union, 3745 @ Si; Quicksilver, 245 @ 24%; Marl- posa, 10 a 1044; do. preferred, 3134 @ 32; Pacific Mail, 101 a 1014; New York Central, 164 0 1642;; Hudson River, 136 @ 187; Harlem, 126)¢ a 1874; Read- ing, 9234 @ 92%; Michigan Central, 1173; @ 11834; Michigan Southern, 97)¢ a 973¢; Illinois Centrai, 140 & 141)¢; Pittsburg, 9146 a 01%; Northwesiera, 82% 282%; do. preferred, 919134; Toledo, 105% a 106; Rock Island, 12054 @ 120%; St. Paul, 655; a 66; do. preferred, 78 a 79; Wabash, 67); @ 68; do, pre- ferred, 76%{ @ 7734; Fort Wayne, 12295 a 128%; Ohio gad Missiasippl, 3376 9 2434. ‘The following were the closing quotations on the call at the last opea board:—Cumberlana, 37% a Weills-Fargo & Co.

After the boards the market was higher, and prices in the final transactions on the street were advanced and drm, Southern securities were characterized by a strong undertone, doubtless the reflection of the foreign ad- vance in United States bonds. Speculators are not slow to see the wittinate effect of this improvement’ abroad, and “ buyers’ options,” which are rather rare transactions in such securiuies, are beginning to tind place in the lists of sales, North Carolinas were firmer in consequence of the Supreme Court decision ‘ag to the Chatham bonds, and Tennessees through a fecling that the administration of the acting Gover- nor, Who succeeds Brownlow, will be opposed to fur- ther issues, The market was genorally dull as to the number of transactions. ‘Tne receipts for customs, and the receipts, pay- ments and balances at the Sub-Treasury in this city for the expired portion of the week have been as follows:— ‘u,180 $409,001 — se id 17,244 91,880,806 1,409,489 447,: ‘The value of the importations of dry goods at this rent ncet nt for the week ending February 25 compares with | of were1,0 taps No. 1 Allentown, 42, Yirought 1 ioe previous week as follows:— j perp Ny and i da were gold on rivals terme, oF Feb, Falls were steady at 335 a ABR go ror Wasiiehy at 4 $1,474,842 | bays Tor Amerigans wullgcoteed taeee n Withdrawn. 546,191 | quiet at former Pelee a 90 @ wed Wareho , 586,684 | previous pce pala Vid Maula ete ot tot SALES AT TH?

No matter how deep ia debt a man may be he can have a home tor the wite and little ones, The Legislature of Georgia is in session, but tt would be far better if the body would adjourn. The negro question, as to the eligibility of the negro to hoid office, will be left, m my opinion, to the Supreme Court, taough Governor Bullock vetoed a resolution to that eifect a day or two ago. Our tarmers are eiated at the high price of cotton, and the may the depots swell one would think that commercial manures would exhaust our cotton money; but it is oniy to make more cotton, oa bag to the acre, that our farmers are going it so heavily. Our weather is ne, and our flower gardens pro- claim that we have spring upon us. The peach trees are blooming; but I fear that a frost next month will catch them, and then goes the fruit. Plenty of land for sgle in Georgia, and now is the time for those who would come South to come along. THE ALLEGED WIFE POISONING IN FITCH. BURG, MASS. The Examination of Robert D. Pyke on the Charge of Poisoning His Wife—Great Ex- citement in the Community—A Horrible and a half eariier. Before the examination the publle feeling was strongly in favor of the prisoner, and very ma: believed him to be innocent; but now, notwithstand- ing there ig no pcsitive evidence against him, there wing public sentiment that he ougit to be unis! for the crime fasiened upon him by the evidence and physical condition of his step-daughter. The examination will cover a period of one and per! two more ai which time the re- sult of a chemical ‘sis of the stomach of the deceased will be made known, and the question of death by poison or other causes positively settled. The daughter Adelaide will be put upon the stand again to-morrow, and it is rumored around town to-night that she will show up the guilt of Pyke and confess to complicity in the crime charged agaiust SUBURBAN INTELLIGENCE.

Harrison, a decently con- nected young man, residing at No. 13 New street, was arrested yesterday on the grave charge’ of forgery. It seems about two weeks ago a check for 74 68, made out in thename of M. M. Osborn, No. came up in the Police Court this forenoon. It will ie be remembered that Mra. Pyke died about the mid- die of January, and that the physicians m attend- ance were strong in the opinion that her death was produced by poison, and that the deadly potion was administered by her husband. The de- ceased was several years the senior ot her husband, and had a daughter (Adelaide Evans) by a previous husband, with whom, as acknowledged by both par- ties, the stepfather Pyke had for a series of years had criminal intercourse. This fact being admitted by the accused, the popular belief has been thata desire of Mr. Pyke and the daughter to live together was a probable motive for them to combine together to get Mra. Pyke out of the way. The previous high stand- ing of all the parties concerned and the pecu- liarities of the crime charged, has awak- enea the deepest interest in the community, and upon the occasion of the examination of Mr. Pyke tis morning the spacious Town Hall ‘Was filled to its utmos: capacity with spectators, and among the number were many ladies. The case was tried before Judge Ware, District Attorney Rice ap- pearing for the government, and Amasa Norcross and George A. Torrey for the prisoner. Miss Evans, the daughter of the deceased and one of the prominent parties in the case, was the chief witness cailed today, although’ there were some half-a-dozen examined and cross-examined before she took the stand. On account of her unfortunate situation she was allowed to be seated while giv- ing im her testimony, and as the words of confessed guilt of a criminal intimacy with tae prisoner fell from her lips, there was an involuntary and almost universal expres- sion of pity by the hundreds of listening spec- tators. Adelaide fs far from handsome; but there i ssomething in her looks which indicates that intelligence has been neutralized by sorrow, and that if she has becn actually guilty of countenancing murder she has been but the plastic and pliabie ma- terial of one more accomplished. During the ren- dering of her testimony the court room was as still as death, and the female spectators—old and young strained every nerve of the ear to catch the almost inaud.bie sounds of the sad story of crime which fell trom the lips of the unfortunate girl, She said thet she had always been with her mother since her marriage to Pyke, and in reply to the question if‘she had over an; criminal intercourse with her stepfather she droppe« her head and answered, “Yes, sir,” in a low and heartbroken tone. The for the defence ob- ape to the question or answer being recorded, on ‘he ground that it had no bearing on this case, The District Attorney said that he proposed to show that the motive, if such @ one was found to exist, was connected With the act of alleged murdor; or, in other words, if Pyke Oy be got out of the way the prisonercould cohabR with or marry the witness Adelaide to better advantage than if his wife was living.
