POISON AND DEATH.
The Strange History IN Which

HASSInAL. Mo-, December IA Young

convulsians. The ea-e j. peculiar one,
! and the causes OF his death are shrouded in
mystery. Young Lewis was heard going to
his room at about IL O'Clock Friday night
snd immediately retired. Early Yesterday
morning hi. landlsdy found him in violent
convuIsicns. and hastily summoned physi-
clans. who, on arrival. pronounced his
symptoms those OF strychnine poisoning.
The commissions continued ut intervals
throughout the entire day, and resulted in
death At 9P. m. Yesterday. during his
sane moments. Lewis told his physicians
that two men. had entered his room ai
about three o'clock in the morning, and
that thsy had seized him and forced some
bitter drug into his mouth, and attempted
to make him swallow it. He struggled, anil

his employers. but, il seems, managed to
keep in debt. and Was. doubtless, somewhat
troubled in money matters. He had been
a little harder lately than wSs his

with his financial embarrassment, probably |

These AMI other like remarks were heard
in wellknown Office building on Fifth

the woman got the best Of it, and did re-

A large number of the factories have re-
sumed manufacture; and the influence of
the customary spring influx of skim, 'once-
a-day' cheese will soon be felt. There Is
marked tendency toward the manufacture
this spring of whole milk article, the but
ter trade offering few attractions.
Trade in new cheese began at Little Falls
on Monday, several of the best factories
being represented. Sales aggregated 800
boxes, and prices ranged from 11@13f
cents. All the offering of new cheese was
skinned to greater or less extent.
BUTTER.
The Transactions in butter are reported
by the Journal and Courier as follows:
There were sales OF about 200 tubs. At
an average of 30 pounds to the tub, this
would aggregate 10000 pounds. represent
ing a total value Of over SO, 800 This is
ali new made and the bulk OF it of fair to
good quality the ruling price for such be-
ing 25 cents. The extreme prices were 30
cents and 26 cents, but very few at either
of these figures
Exporters have taken stock much less
freely and receivers have been pressing them
with offers to sell. The home trade has
been very small the buyers wants have
been only sufficient to supply their daily
necessities. The increasing quantity of
new and the undesirable character of
the remaining old, admonishes the deal
ers to cease using old as soon as possible.
Receipts have been liberal and we have pro-
badly increased our stock in store. Prices
are 2@3c., lower for actual business, and
nearly all receivers seem more determined
to sell goods than stand for price. We
hesitate to quote above zoe for any entire
diaries, and notice fair ones selling as low
as l6c. For lots old favored throughout.
the figures which packers will pay are 10
@13c. Welsh tubs sell relatively better
than firkins, as the shippers prefer them;
also, because they have apparently kept
quality better than firkins and half-nrkin
tubs. The outlook for old butter is deci-
dedly gloomy. New has arrived more freely
and has declined 2@3c. The best city trade
are now able to find supply of new state
and new western creamery to the exclusion
OF old.

The remarkable decrease in the number
of boxes produced last season from the
yield of the previous:year appears with
much clearness from the showing of these
figures. For the brief period Of three
months the receipts are 116,7O5 boxes less
than during the same three months last
year. The exports do not show so large
an aggregate falling off as this but they
are proportionately more meager. In both
years the exports have exceeded the re-
ceipts, as would be natural during the nom
producing period.
Trade at New York is now well-nigh at
a standstill, buyers and sellers waiting for
each other, and for something to occur.
The eagerness of the home demand has
much lessened. This has caused the slight
nominal decline in prices of one-half cent.
The receipts and exports last week were
less than they have been for the correspon-
ding week in six years. The trade is de-
pressed, and Indifferent. The comparative
tabular exhibit of trade for last week and
the corresponding week last year is as fol-
lows:
