A WOULD-BE SUICIDE.

From the officials of the Enngrants' Hospital on
Wards Island there to the Coroncrs office on
Saturday night. notification that man who had
attempted suicide lying there in very precari-
condition. Ten days before he had taken q
quantity of Paris green for the purpose of scfde-
struction. Medical assistance was summoned and all
sorts Of expcdents sought to destroy the poison But
IL had been taken In quantities too large to be easily
got rid Of. and when the victim of his own rashness
had anguishcd for week at his brothers house
his relatives thought II prudent to have him removed
to the hospital
Coroner Woltman on Saturday night found man
of twenty-nine Herman Schmidt by name, in semi
unconscious condition. After q while he rallied,
said he was native OF Lmburg, in Germany, and
had come to this country In August last. He had
first gone to the residence of his brother at No C3j
Ninth avenue. where he followed the business Of 0
butcher. Dishcartened by troubles he did not dc.
fine. he grew tired OF his condition and determined to
end his life by taking poison. With this view he had
swallowed q quantity of Paris green which he had
procured, where. he would not say. That was all the
statement he able to make when inscnsibility
. prevented further speech.

In the wheat trade there has been most marked
Improvement many previous years the business
having doubled. In other grains business has been
fairly active. merchants holding their trade with an
increase IN few cases where unusual efforts nave
been made.
In honr an immense trade has been done. one mer-
chant alone selling 10000 barrels since january l.
1878 with every prospect of increasing his business
to asooco barrels 1879 The sales this 100000
barrels is excess of so 00U barrels than was
ever before handled by any one house here.
Albany is fast emerging from its condtlon as local
station to be a great distributing point such it
was wears ago before the consolidation OF the rail-
roads and construction of the two bridges which
now span the Hudson River at this point. Through
the demands of trade, our merchants now handle
larger quantities Of flour and grain and the railroads
gradually making them concessions and removing
have hanpered them and benfited the larger cities.
The outlook is most favorable for the grain and ho
trade for the coming season.
MKT YEARS CROPS
In conversing with some of the Oldest most method
zeal and extensive land cultvators i'll this section in
relation to what is the general outlook for increased
crops the coming year. their almost universal opinion
is that the yield will faEorably compare II not sur
pass that of the present Fall rains in this
ton profuse while early frosts were unknown
two essential elements tending to favorable results.
INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars lie idle within
the vaults of the banks of this the capital city of the
Empire State, in fve-tswenty seven-thirty bonds,
their owners interest days The investment of
capital in general business is to all appearances at
standstl 1t is unce1fiabe fact that in place of
capital seeking investment, even in so moderately
safe industry farming, 1t locks itself up.
The number of farmers within radius of say fifty
miles is not increasing, but rather diminishing,
while there appears no disposition to invest in gen.
era business.
The number of failures chronicled in commercial
and mercantile circles yearly since 1873 has had the
tendency TO deter capital from investing therein and
the pail OF distrustfulness is not as yet removed.
At the present writing the itlook in real estate is
not very hopeful There are quite number Of ex-
changes of property recorded from week to week. but
Lo0 dde sales outright are very few. The deprecia
ton in the value of real estate has been fully thirty
per cent the past five years Holders of property and
