In Germany large quantities of glu-

glucose. The process is economical. but
popular taste rev"lts against the uso OF
sweets from old rags, even though the
product is chemically identical with the

Williams, a respectable colored man
living in the city limits near the old
arsenal, was aroused from his slum-
bers by great commotion in his hen,
house near by his dwelling. He I'M
mehiately arose, took down from the
wall his double barreled shot gun,
and went out to investigate tile cause
Of the racket. The night was very
dark, and as Williams approached
the hen house, IL man who was inside
broke out and made off. Williams
fired ut him as he ran, and brought
him to the ground. The deceased
proved to be u cOlOrel man named
Je.ay DuBose. who bore IL very bad
character. Williams had Il prelimi-
nary examination before the Parish,
Judge, yesterday. The court decided
that he was perfectly justitiable in
what he did, and ordered his dis

The speculation In corn and oats had much
less reasonable basis than that In wheat. The
excess OF stocks was pot apparently 80 great
but the speculative advance was really much

cents higher than at this writing. while wheat

The advance IL corn took place in the face of
receipts at the Western markets. from January
against 10. 900 600 bushels for the corresponding
period In 1879: while the xports have increased
900 900 bushels. AS, the visible supply is but

Of the crop In that section last year from

There Is one circumstance connected with
the recent decline In wheat and corn In this
market that should not be forgotten. It has not
been tended as yet with any material reduc-
