ENGLISH GRAIN MARKETS.
The Mark Lane Erpress says the de-
livcrics of English wheat during the past
'"s "E1S lA1iJ dftI1Sc vi LLC pNSL Iei1
years. Recent deliveries of barley have been
equal to the full average for the season, but
considerably less than the quantity sold II year
ago. The price OF barley was good deal
higher than now, but it was chiefly owing to
its superiority. Fine barley. good Color is
exceptionally scarce this year, and large sales
ofpoor stuff seriously deprees the average
For best lots Of mating barley the price at
tainable now is even higher than the rates
current year ago. Oats in the country are
cheaper thai at any time since 1870 Import
ed oats have never been so cheap as to-day
VI Russian and Indian wheat there is only
small quantity aaoat at present. The rigor-
GUS weather experienced in England appears
to have been felt throughout Europe. The
Baltic sea and Danish sound are blocked with
ice. The temperature is very low throughout
Sweden, Russia, Germany and Netherland
In France the fall of snow has been heavier
than in England, while even the Mediterran-
can coast has been invaded BY cold. The
Danube is frozen, and the harbor of Golatz
closed to navigation, while along the Black
sea coast the ice is gathered in formidable
quantity. The harbor of Odessa is closed.
The American visible supply keeps very large
OF which 2,45OO00 quarters are stored ut the
prlncipall grain centers. The quantities of
both wheat and maize are nearly double the
quantities in granary year ago.
TRAGEDY.
About o'clock Monday morning Feb.
l0, the dead body Of Samuel Levi of No. 1Ol
Park Avenue, st. Paul Minn., was found in
hay shed about so feet in the rear OF his resi-
dcnce, with the throat cut. The corner was
summoned. He found the deceased dressed
in his ordinary clothing, lying on his back, his
feet almost at the foot Of the door, his hands
lying by his side, and the upper part of his
body leaning against the straw His head was
inclined little to the left, showing savage
CASH extending from inst underneath the left
ear to about the center OF the throat About
six inches from his right hand lay All old
fashioned butcher knife with a wood handle
and blade about six inches in length, the
blade covered with blood. lie had been suffer-
ing with his throat Tor several days, and ap.
E'eared nervous and unsettled all the evening
Hearing his horse make = noise, he went to
his stable two or three times and the last time
not returning his wife went with Il lantern and
found him rs above described The victim Of
this tragedy has lived in st. Paul about twelve
years, coming from Iowa. Had he livc. un-
til the ::2tl inst. lie would have been 60 Years
old. lie was glazier by trade. lie had a
comfortable home, was strictly temperate, and
as far as known by Mrs. Levi. did not owe a
cant III the world. He had been married some
nineteen years, in which relations, Mrs Levi
said, all had been pleasant. While there is
butlittle TO cause doubt of Levi having taken
his own life, there is lacking yet any cause for
such an act, while the position of the body,
and the bloody knife with which the deed was
done, gives cause for suspicion that such
was not the case.
