Month of HODiciGes,

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 27.-The
month of March will go down in Grim
inal annals in st. Louis as productive
of more homicides than any similar
length of time has furnished since the
frontier days. Thirteen persons have
met violent deaths at the hands of fell
low beings since the 1st inst. Some of
the murders were cold-blCoded in the
extreme, and very few show any sem
blance to justifiable Homicide. For
these thirteen capital offenses the po-
lice have in custody ten persons, one
murderer is at large, two female STAY
ers are out on bail, and in one case the
Coroner's jury has failed to fasten the
crime on any one.

amount to $9O,00O,0O0 annually. This

when it is borne in mind that this

British museum; another that it is
among the many mementOs of the
late prince conSort, which Queen
Victoria carries with her in her peri

Beattie. the surgeon on board the
Vic" v on the DAY Of Nelson's death,

from the body of the dead admiral.
says in his authentic Narrative of
the Death OF Lord Nelson:'' The
fatal ball struck the forepart of his
lordship's epaulet and entered the left
shoulder. On removing the
ball | noticed that a piece of the gold
lace, part of the epaulet and a small
piece of his coat were firmly attached
to it" Indeed, the adhesion men
toned by Surgeon Beattie was almost
as close as if the fragments had been
driven against the metal when it was
in molten state. The next that was
heard of this relic it was in the hands
of one Captain Hardy, who had it
mounted in a silver locket with crys-
tai faces, who afterwards presented
it to Surgeon Beattie. After the death
of Beattie it fell to Rev. T. w. Barker

EhicaG go Beard of Trade.


CHICAGO. March 27.--The bullish career
with vengeance. The price started &c
over the high point on Saturday at 1880,
and few to 1915c in hurry. There was
selling of Importance that drove the price
back to the opening figure, when a second
strong bulge put the market to soc, with the
trade greatly excited. The selling, again
put the price off to 7938c, but il ives
hard to keep within bounds and jumped
again to 1859 very strongly. The
July opened but ~ up at 70 a and moved
very slowly up to % sc at the high point
and failed to hold even this slight advance.
1t is claimel with much show of REASONABLE
ness that the bull clique houses in wheat
have OF late been bending their energies to
holding the market within bounds. A break
would be quite disastrous to them. The
mild weather everywhere was a bullish in
fuence in the July. Buyers of May we're in
many instances sellers of July An
hour before the close the May
Saturday at 1890. Regardless of shorts
and every other influence in the market it
was believed that the big holders of wheat
are oppressed by the load and that their
chief object is to get out without a crash
No market has as yet been created that
will stand much unloading.
Nothing occurred to make much of O
speculative market in corn. The furry in
May wheat caused the May corn to sell a
fraction higher early, but the natural ten
dency appeared to be downward or, at
best, steady. The May price
started a fraction lower at 424c,
turned up to 421@c, dropped to
421sc, again touched 4219c, and before /
O'Clock was back at 1925 (0424c. July sales
were at 1895 TO 43 to 4314c bid to 4316(1431lc.
The provision market opened firm, and
although early prices were not maintained
all day they averaged higher than Satur-
days closing quotations. May pork opened
at S17.6712 compared with s176.15 at the
close on Saturday. There was further
advance 20 $17.S219, followed by a drop to
S17.75, around which latter price the mar
ket became settled in the middle of the
session. July lard kept within the range
of 81 .0219 and 81 1917, with the bulk of
the trading down between 81 .05 and $l1 10
Ribs were quiet and sold for May at from
