WALL STREET, WepNEspAy, March 19—6 P. M. On ‘Change to-day cotton was in better cemand, but the market ruled easier. Flour remained quiet and unchanged. Wheat was in better demand and Qrmer, while corn was about steady, but quiet. COMPARISON OF THE EXPORTS. ‘The total exports of demestic merchandise from | the port of New York tw foreign ports for the week ending March 18, 1873, and since the Degin- Ding of the year cig as follows :— XSTR $4,088, For the week.. $3, Prev. reported. 45, Since Jaw. 1.. $47,391,585 $43,817,282 THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS, The advertisement of the Treasury fora million | Of five-twenties elicited seventeen proposals, total | 48,848, 28 bends offered amounting to $4,193,400, at prices | prices of the principal stocks during the day :— ranging, ex-coupon, from 113.29 to 114.99, Hon was obtained at 113.29 a 113.49, THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The London quotations came steady for consols The mil- | and heavy ior United States bonds, the 67's closing = Northw atatrifing decline. Erie shares were unsettled, declining at first to 51%, advancing next to 52%, declining again to 52and closing at 624%. French Tentes in Paris continued weak and underwent a | Ohio further decline to 55.10. MONEY ACTIVE. The money market was active, but steady in its activity as regards the rates on call, which ranged | from 7 @ 7 per cent coim as the conventional figures among the government dealers, and exceptional nes ameng the best classes of the stockbrekers, to as high as 1-16 and interest, the market leaving Off at the familiar 1-32 and interest. The average of the day on stocks was a trifle higher than the last mentioned rate, say about 20 per cent per annum. These rates interdict dealings in commercial paper, | 100 which is quoted at 9 a 12 per cent discount for first | class names. Foreign exchange was unchanged both at the desk and in the terms for such little | business as was transacted out of second hands. Prime sterling was dene at 108 a 108% for sixty | eel d@ay and at 108% @ 1087, for sight bills, GOLD FIRM—115!; A115 ‘The gold market was firm and without new feature. The price was steady most of the day at @n average of 1153;, but towards the close the “bulls” took advantage of the thinness of the attendance to bid the market up to 115%, where- upen a few sales occurred at 1153,. A numerous “short” interest is believed to be in existence from the better demand for cash gold reveaied in to-day’s business. shown in the table :— The course of the market is In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 2per cent to 7 gold per cent for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as {ol- low: Gold cleared Gold balance!

THE RAILROAD BONDS. ‘The railroad bends were firm, with a widely- distributed business in small lets, indicating a de- mand from investors. The chief feature was an active inquiry fer the Union Pacific incemes, which advanced to 73%. grants were steady. There was a continned de- mand for the Erie mortgages, Bo Boston, Hartiord_ and Erie firsts were lower.

STOCKS DULL AND LOWER, The stock market was again intensely dull, and prices were for the most part lower, or, at the best, barely steady. The widest fluctuation in the usual speculative favorites was only about one per cent, while the average variation was hardly more than a half per cent. For the Vanderbilt-Clark stocks, such as Central, Lake Shore, Uhios and Union Pacific, the fuctuation was omy \ a % per cent, St. Paul was moderately active in the fore- noon, with sales at 57%, but the price subsequently fell off nearly one per cent. BRIE WAS WEAK and declined about one per cent and reacted but faintly at the close, the downward movement being occasioned by tke revelations at Albany, particularly as regards the fictitious claim that the recent dividend of 1% had been fairly earned. Boston, Hartford and Erie fell to 5% on the an- nouncement from Boston that the United States Court had refused to grant an injunction staying the State Courts. Panama was feverish and de- clined from 120% to 1164, closing 118 Terre Haute sold at 25 and at 23%. A fair amount of ‘business was done in Chicago and Alton at about 222 for the common and 113 for the preferred. Pacific Mail was weak and receded to 56}, but closed rather better.

WEDNESDAY, March 19—6 P. M. The accelerated movement in trade circles men- tioned yesterday was still more noticeable to-day, the demand gradually extending to the different branches of business, The concession in prices hitherto mentioned has stimulated an increased demand for many articles of merchandise which had long been dall and nominal, and the result is ® fair business at the reduced prices, Cotton forms ‘an important exception™o the rule, however, the market being still dulland nominal. At the Pro- duce Exchange there was not much of a move- ment, but a better feeling was apparent in the market for breadstufls, &c., for which there ‘was more inquiry than for some time. Flour was steadier under a better inquiry; while wheat was wanted for milling and to some extent for export, and prices were materially advanced, checking the demand and confining the ousiness to a tew boat loads. Corn was without movement. Oats were steady under a fairdemand. Whiskey was steady, with a fair demand. Provisions were firm, but not especially active. Groceries were quiet, but not es- sentially changed in value. Petroleum continued dull and nominal Naval stores attracted a little more atten- tion, but were easier. Correx.—The market continued very dull for cargoes or lots from first hands, but the distributing business has picked up considerably. We append our former quota- tions, which are nominally follows :—Rio—Ordinary cargoes, 16%c. @ 17%c.; fair cargoos, 18e. a 18%{c. ; good cargoes, 19¢. a 19\c. ; prime cargoes, 19}gc. a 19%c. ; ex- treme range for lots, 16%{c. a 20c.

Extensive Sale of West Side Property To-Day—A New Era on Long I: ud— Over One-Third of a Million Dollars Realized Yesterday for Brooklyn Real Estate. Only two sates were hela yesterday at the Real Estate Exchange by Mr. William Kennelly, consist- ing of one two story frame house, No. 53 Sutfolk street, 25x100, to I. Langenbein, for $15,200, and one two story frame house south side of Seventy-sixth street, 375 feet east of Second avenue, 25x100, to Hugo Gorsch, for $4,750. At private sale W. H. Raynor reports the plot southeast corner Madison avenue and 105th street, 100 feet on the avenue by 45 feet on 105th street, for $15,000. Generally speaking affairs in this branch of com- merce look very dull at present. It may be possible that the last part of this week will be better. The sale of Riverside property to-day at the Exchange by Muller, Wilkins & Uo. promises to be very lively, and will no doubt realize as good prices as were ; obtained for lots of the Carman estate.

The numerous railroads which have lately been completed and others which are in course of comstruction there, are open- ing up and bringing within easy access from the city fertile and picturesque lands, in the most healttuul of climates, which can be bought for one-tenth of the price asked for lands the same distance irom New York in any other direction. There are now four distinct parallel lines of railway running into the Island longitudinally—the Flushing and A. T. Stewart's Central Railroad of Long Island, on the nerth; the old Long Island Railroad in the centre; the New Yerk and Hempstead Railroad, south of that, which will have its western terminus at Ba; Ridge, witn a ferry to Wall street, and the Sout | Side Ratroad of Long Island, which tra- verses the entire shore of the Great South ~~ Besides these work Is about to be commenced on a cross-country railroad connecting with and periecting the entire railway system Ol the island; so that passengers and freight can be transierred irom one part of the island t to another with the ut- Most facility and saving of time. In addition to | Mr. Stewarts great purchase at Hempstead some of our weaithiest citizens are making their selec- tions of desirable plots, and several tracts of 1,000 | acres and upwards each have recently been pur- chased by them.

THE YOUTHFUL HOMICIDE. A Boy of Fourteen Shooting a Playmate Plea of Manslaughter in the Fourth Degree Accepted—Sentence to the House of Refuge. Prolific as the city is in crime, and youthful as are the majority of offenders, it rarely happens that a boy of such tender years as William W. Barker—he is only fourteen years old—is placed on trial upon the charge of murder. Such a scene was wit- nessed, however, yesterday morning in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Brady. Young Barker, who is a lad of unusually fine appearance and seeming intelligence, showed that he jully appreciated the gravity of the charge pre- ferred against him, and during the recital of the testimony by lus former youthful associates, detailing the particulars of the sad tragedy, was often affected to tears, The name of the boy whem he killed was John D. N, Shaefer, who was about the same age as himself. FACTS OF THE SHOOTING. The shooting occurred on the 7th of last Febra ary. The prisoner, the deceased and some other boys were in Mrs. Brown’s house, Sixth avenue. ‘The deceased had a fox's tail which he sportively brushed across the face of the prisoner, which in- censed the latter, and, taking a pistol from his pocket, he pointed it at Shaefer’s head and at- Femptea to fire it, but the cap did not explode. He again cocked it and pret the trigger @ second time, this time with fatal effect. The load went crashing into the brain of Shaefer and he fell to the floor and expired in five minutes afterwards. Young Barker at once fled, but he was soon captured by the police at the residence of his grandfather, where he lived. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict against him, and the Gran@ ik found an indictment against him for murder in the first degree. It was in connection with this case that the Grand Jury brought in a recommen- dation to the Court to call the attention of the Legislature to the necessity of a more strenuous reement of the law in reference to carrying concealed weapons and the sale of such weapons, particularly to minors, COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRIAL. It took some time to get ay want the jary Were empanelied Assistant istrict Att Lyons opened the case for they prosecation, then called, as first witness, Thomas H. Senior, a bright boy of thirteen bend who stated the case arly. He said that Barker, Shaefer, himself an@ some other boys were in Mrs. Brown's house on the night of February 7, waen, some little dispute occurring between Shaefer and the prisoner, the letter put a pistol to his head twice; the last time it went off, the ball hitting the deceased in the temple; Shacfer sald, just before he was aia “You'll shoot me!’’ and Barker had said, “ shoot you !"’ after the occurrence the prisoner said, “Oh! my God, what shalll do?’ and fled from the room. The other boys present at the shooting also gave their testimony, which was simply @ corroboration of the above. All concurred in saying that they had not previous'y known ef any misunderstanding between the prisoner an@ the deceased. A woman was called wao acknowl edged selling a pistol a day or two previous toa boy of about Barker's age, but she could not tell whether he was the boy, and neither could she identify the pisto!. ACCEPTING A PLEA OF MANSLAUGHTER, At the conclusion ef the case for the prosecation the defence took a brief time for consultatioa, alter which a plea of guilty of manslaughter in the fourth oo wes put in and accepted by the Court, Judge Brady saying he conid see from the evidence that it was not murder in the first degree, and could be no other oifence but that stated in the plea. THE SENTENCE. Evidence was put in as to the boy’s character, pedir 4 that he was not a vicious or a bad boy. Judge Brady said that he had always made it & rule when possible not to send a@ young boy to the State Prison or even to the Penitentiary, and he therefore sentenced Barker to the House of Refuge. He added that he wished it could be ascertained who sold him the pistol, as he considered such per- son almost as reprehensible as the boy and deserv- ing of severe punishment, THE HEGGI POISONING CASE. Trial of Frederick Heggi for the Ale leged Murder of Frederick J. Sicg- fried=—Testimony for the Prosecution, The trial of Frederick Heggi, charged with the murder of Frederick J. Siegfried, by poisoning, which was commenced on Tuesday afternoon in the General Sessions, before Recorder Hackett, was resumed yesterday. Assistant District Attorney Russell, in an able and interesting address, opened the case jor the prosecution, detailing at length circumstances which he expected to prove that ——— establish beyond doubt the guilt of the ae- cused, As the first trial of Heegi—which took place in October, when the jury failed to agree—was fully reported in the Heranp, it will suftice to record now the salient points of the evidence. The circamstances of the alleged poisoning, for which the defendant is now upon his trial, were resented at consideraole Jength in the HERALD at he time of the occurrence. which gave rise to the charge of murder against the defendant. These circumstances were briefly reviewed in our report or the trial yesterday. A jury having been then obtamed, Mr. Russell, Assistant District Attorney, opened the case ior the prosecution, Counsel detailed at length all the circumstances of suspicion and the evidence upon whick the Grand Jury brought in a true indictment, and upon which the case ior the people rests in seeking a convic- tion, This is the second time the prisoner hasbeem | put upon his trial, the first jury having failed to agree. The salient points of the testimony as them fae and again detailed yesterday are giver elow in THE TESTIMONY FOR THE PEOPLE. The first witness called was Frederick Sie; the son of the deceased, who swore that his lather died on the 20th of August, 1369, and was buried im the Lutheran Cemetery; that in February, 1872, the body was exhumed, which he identified, and’ was taken to the Morgue at Bellevue Hospital, and that he saw the coftin opened in the presence of Dr. Marsh, Dr. Marsh, the Deputy Coroner, testified that he made an examination of the bods, and delivered @ portion of the pram, one lung, the stomach aad portion of the thigh’ to Professor Endemann; that he subsequently re-exhumed the remains on the 5th of March, and delivered three ribs, together with portions of the metallic ornaments of the coffin and of the earth surrounding the grave, to the chemist for analyzation. Coroner Young was called to prove that he gave the necessary order to have the body , eel under a permit granted by the Board of Heaith of Brooklyn, and was present when the cofln was opencd Taorman Endemann, professor of chemistry an@ now connected with the Board of Health of this city, Was examined at great length by Assistant District Attorney Russell, He detailed the scien- tifle pr 88 to Which the portions of the humam remains delivered to him by Dr. Marsh were sub- jected, to ascertain whether or not arsenic could be iound. The result of the tests satisfied him that there were fiiteen milligrams, or about a» quarter of a grain of arsenic, in the portions of the body which he analyzed, independent 0! the traces of arsenic found in the iining of the coMln and the metallic trimmings. The g!ass tubes containing toe arsenic were exhivited to the jury Mr. Wiliam P. owe ubjected Mr. Endemann ta a searching and able cross-exaimination, and tested the Witness’ knowledge of the edect of arsenic upon the system, the opinions of learned chemist | examined in the trials of persens for alleged poison~ ing by arsenic, and various other matters saving a Besting upon the subject. In reply to Mr. Howe, the Projessor said that Styrians used a great a of arsenic, that Fewler’s solution contained arsenic. \d that it was also used in many instances for external purposes. ‘At the close of the examination the Court ad~ jJourned tul this mornin; AN OLD COUNTY STATIONERY BILL, + The Corporation Counsel Asks for @ Postponement to Examine Into the Merits of the Claim, and Obtains It.
