Now York, February 21.?-Most "f the favorite issues on the Stock Exchange were heavv to-day. although there were no evidences ??: extensive bear pres? sure or liquidation; Traders were en? gaged so busily with securities of the GOuld roads that they gave little at tention to the remainder oi the ?-t, and It dropped through neglect. In? I cationE of recent accumulation ? the Gould securities '??>' stirohfs interests attracted :? large following, and when the market opened the buying of thvse stocks nntl t ie bonds which sent them up sharply toward the close of yes? terday's session was resinned. Belief is' gaining ground that the move.mnt is in connection with a broad. plan ?which probably will not lie cons?in jiia'ed fur some time. The day's busi? ness was conducted largely in too morning, in which dealings in Gould curit ios ran into large totals. Mis? souri Pacific, Denver and Bio Gra/ide, tit. Louis Southwestern. preferred; Texas and Pacific and Wtibash. eom Bubh and preferred; all made substan fial s tins. The market as a whole fell ?lt, although there was some improve onent at midday: The Influence of the holiday to-morrow was telt in .In- af? ternoon, and trailing was at. low ebbi ]n the final hour the market became more active, at lower prices, ..nd the close was heavy, with slight losses in the usually active stocks. Business was relatively more active in bonds than i:i stocks. Tr.uiisactlohH in the first two hours were greater than the total for several recent days, but reflected no widening of invo.-t . ment demands, since the bulk of tub ? dealing was in the Gould issues: Wabash extension is temporarily gained more than throe points, their maximum advance for the ?veex, thus jar exceeding six points. Latest trade advices indicate greatt r activity in the copper market, although juice changes arc unimportant. Cop? per shares were quiet to-day, and the j.'i ice of tin- metal in London was lower. The only change in the money mar? ke I was tiie placing of one yea* loans at -l per cent. Total inture.tt and divi? dend disbursements for March arc es? timated at Si i S.OOO.OOd, which com? pares with JS5,0O0;O0U for February aha" $107^000^000 for March of last year. The increase over last year is largely !by the gain in dividends. The market for bonds was strong, in sympathy with the strength in the Gould move? ment. Total sales to-day were, par value, 52.S90.000. Total sales of stocks. ?! 5,500 shares. New York.

ELECTION JUDGES FOUND NOT GUILTY Jury Acquits Norfolk Officials After Forty-five Minutes' Deliberation. [Special toTho Times-Dispatch.] Norfolk, Va., February 21.?.fames T. | Hannan, Edward willcox and F. W, Millinger, judges in tho Second Ward of the city of Norfolk, were to-day acquitted by a Jury in the Corpora? tion Court upon tho charge of per? mitting Illegal voting and other ir? regularities in the AugUBt primary of last year. The jury was out but forty-five minutes, and took only one vote. The evidence presented by the State was the testimony of the following witnesses, who testified that they did not vote in the ward, although record? ed as voting: E. it. Mecks. L. O. .Shipp, A. C. Bozo. Theodore Butler. J. H. Lotighran. M. M. Mann. T. II. Bry? ant, .1. ?. Newcomer, Dr. Harry Wall. A. M. Vnughan, and G. F. Newton. The defense was that If there was any tllegai voting or irregularities at the polls on that day, It was unknown to the judgos. The accused men took the stand, explained the manner In which the election was conducted, and how it was easy and prohable that tlte names used could have been voted, and tho judges be unaware of the frauds! tiniil exposed by the investigation. Tim trial occurred in the courtroom in which the defendants were charged with committing fraud, the room hav? ing been used in the election as a j voting place. This ends the election prosecutions I In Norfolk, but not In Portsmouth and Norfolk county.
