the Session,
CHICAGO, July 13.-Wen.Uicr conditions
Influenced nil tho grain markets today. He
ports of Improvement In tho northwest nml
the raising of tho figures on tho estimated
yield wero the principal factors In 11 decline
of UiSlUc In wheat. Corn closed 'i1ic
loner and oats IWfUo lower. Provisions
were Hteady on light receipts und good cash
demand and closed 2Ji'tGc hlKhcr.
Thu opening tono of wheat was rather
trong, Heptember starting at an advance
ot at 80fcfiMc. This was due en
tirely to pit trading, local speculators being
Influenced by the fact that foreign markets
lid not show nn adeunto response to yes
terday's decline hero and to tho serious
ness of the. Chinese situation. Tho strength
disappeared almost Immediately. Reports
from tho northwest told of an Improved
condition of wheat ns u result of rains and
tho cooler weather prevailing nml llgures
on the crop given out today by tho Trade
Hull tin were raised considerably. This
quickly changed the balance of trading In
favor of the bears, The northwest sold
considerably and tho steady decline In the
firlco finally discouraged longs and resulted
11 considerable liquidation, which was kept
up with moro or less steadiness nil day.
Toward tho oloso of tho session thero was a
flight Improvement In tone, caused prin
cipally by covering by northwest traders
who had put out wheat earlier In tho week
and who had gced prollts In sight. Tho
closing, however, wns heavy, though nt a
llttlo bettor than bottom prices. Heptem
ber sold down to 73c, but recovered to
7!ic on tho Into buying. The closo was nt
7S'.W(.70Uc. Northwest receipts were 142
cars, compared with 102 last week nnd 4S3
a yenr ago, Chicago receipts wero fi7 enrs,
13 of contract grado. Total primary re
ceipts wero WJ.OW Int., against 7St,OuO till, a
year ngo. Now York reported 50 loads
taken for export. Seaboard clearances
wero Gfiunl to 1:10,000 bu.
Corn was strong enily, Influenced by re
ports of continued hot weather In Kansas
and Nebraska and absence of rnln, with de
cidedly pessimistic crop reports. Opening
prices showed a substantial advance- und
this fact Induced enough profit taking to
keop arlces on the down grade for the rest
of the session. Some liquidation wns In
jured by predictions of ruin In tho drouth
stricken districts. Country offers were
light. The seaboard reported CO loads tnken
for export. Local receipts were tiXi curs.
September rnnged from 4re to 43Hy-l3'!ic and
lnil litf'Hie. lower nt ITJic.
Tho oats murket followed closely the
fluctuations of corn. Opening prices were
slightly higher, but the market soon de
clined on selling hy local traders, Influenced
by tho weakness of other grains. Traders
who bought early In tho week on damage
reportB from tho west wero conspicuous
In the. selling. Receipts wero Itil cars. Sep
tember ranged from SIio to 2l'ic and closed
WiiYtC lower nt 2lsc.
Provisions, though rnther dull, showed
steadiness throughout tho session. Hog re
ceipts wero light nnd tho cash demand for
meats was good and prices were well sus
tained, even when grnln markets wero at
their weakest. Fluctuations were unim
portant. At the close September pork was
Ci'ifiUc higher nt $12.0214; September lard,
f.c higher nt J5.9214, nnd September ribs,
Slfco higher at 7.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Today's stock
market was but a dull nnd uninteresting
affair and marked tho further relapse from
tho manipulated rise of the enrller part of
tho week which came Into evidence yester

n lack of outside speculative Interest was
manifested At tho opening thero wus nn

brought nbout by several Inlluences, Includ
ing a better clnss of cablo news und much
less propitious crop conditions. The weather
map wan poor regnrdlng the southeastern

of public speculation. As the session nd

pressure. Tho market ilnally quieted at a

CATTLE There was nnother light run of
cuttlo on todny's market, nnd ns packers
wero nu inoKing ror supplies competition
was rather active Huyers wero out early
nnd cattle began moving townrd ihc scales
before the morning wus far advanced. Tho
better grades of cattle sold a little better
than yesterday and tho light receipts also
inline uie commoner came move a llttlo
moro freely than of late. It was a good,
strong mnrket us compared with yesterday
on anythlnf desirable und the yards were
i-iruruu in an eariy nour.
There was little chungo in the market
on cow stuff. The better grade of grans
stock brought ubout the same prices as
yesterday, but ns has been the caso all
ulong canncrs were slow sale, as there Ih
but llttlo demand for them at tho present
iinie.
Stock cattle are selling vcrr mean. This
applies to stock heifers, ns well as to
steers, nnd sellers suy It Is difficult to get
oven n bid on them, to say nothing of
getting rid of them at satisfactory prices.
About all that can be said of the market
on those lines Is that It Is very dull and
lower, with prices uneven,
Thero were nbout thirteen cars of west
erns on the market today. Three cars were
steers nnd brought J4.o5, but they wero
hurdly as good as the ones thnt sold for
Jt.10 on Monday. The other ten cars were
cows and they were perhaps a Irldo lower
than the first of tho week, cprcentatlve

of mixed stuff on sale today and packers
bought them up nt prices Just about steady
with yesterday. There wero a few com
mon sprli. g lambs on the market, but noth
ing strictly choice. There Is n good demand
for prlmo lambs nnd they doubtless would
bring nbout steady prices with last week.
I cedent are still rather slow fnie. ulthottgh
thero Is soma little Inquiry for them.
Prices however, nro no better than they
have been of Inte.

tho road nt n point enst of tho West Mndlson
road. As Mr. Dawson passed by Jester
asked him how far It wns to a road that ho
could turn south 011. This evidence Is con
sidered significant ns showing that Jestor's
turning from tlio main thoroughfare wns not
an nccldeut, but to conceal this alleged
crime.

fied that ho hnd lived there twenty years
and had known Jester for thirty years. Ho

two-horso "Jolt" wagon and n buffalo calf.

horted n little. Ho attended Snbbath school.
J. C. Temple of Rcnlck, Mo testified that
ho saw Jester and Gates nt his town In 1S71.
Jester exhibited tho buffalo calf thero and
took up n collection. This Is supposed to bo
n short tlmo before Gates was killed.
Alexander Jester's daughter, Alice, arrived
from Norman, Okla., this morning. In com
pany wlUi her brother, she passed tho Jail
whero her father Is confined without stop
ping. Joseph H. Uelaney, nn old citizen of
Monroo county, testified to tho truth of tho
story that his wlfo made him got up ut their
homo near Mlddlo Grovo ono night In Jan
uary, 1S71. Btatlng that bIio heard cries of
