The Mountain Meadow massacre trial
opened at Beaver, Utah, on Friday, July
%. The first witness for the prosecu-
cution was Robert Reyes. He came to
Utah in October, 1857, through Noun

a pile of mems bodies further on; didn't
go to see them. There was no clothing
on the bodies, except the leg of one sock

The next witness called was Asahel
Bennett: Was at the Meadows in De-
cember, 1857. Saw the bones there. 1t
was horrible sight. There were skele-
tons of women and children, curls, long
tresses of hair dyed in blood. The
children were 10 to II years old. Some
of the skulls had the flesh died on. The
bodies had been covered up, and the
wolves had evidently dug them up.
Philip Klingen Smith, of San Bernar

cution entered a nolle prosequi as to

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Weekly Review of the Chicago Market.

FINANCIAL.
There WAS no change to note in the condition
of the money market. Demand for favors
rather light, with an abundance of loanable
funds. Interest rates 6@7c for sixty days,
SGl10c for long loans. Ponds firm and steady.
BREADsTUFFs.
To say that the grain markets were excited
during the past week would scarcely convey a
good idea of the prevailing state of affairs.
The attendance of local spectators was large,
and the leading erains-wheat, corn and oats
attracted more than the usual amount of
attention. The fluctuations in values were very
frequent and unusually severe, especially
in wheat. The movement was mainly on
speculative account, and the governing irfu-
ences were generally speculative in their tenor,
although there was considerable encourage
ment in the tone of the advices received from
Europe and also from New York. Crop reports
from Europe were unfavorable, and higher
prices were reported both for wheat and corn.
At New York an urgent export demand for
wheat existed, and higher prices were readily
obtained. The evident firmness of the market
affected the short interest and made them anx-
ious TO provide for their outstanding contracts,
while it materially aided the bull element
in their endeavors to force prices to higher
range. Spring wheat for August opened at
S1.13, sold at S1.30, but closed at S1.21E.
Corn opened at 701%c, sold to nc, closed at
731Sc August. Oats sold az high as 1910. The
smaller grains were comparatively quiet.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week
