VENTURA, July 27.-In the case
of Curlee, to-day, the defense stead
lily worked away at impeaching
the prosecutions witnesses, but
seemed to have no better success
than on the preceding trial. Nearly
the same witnesses were called who
testified as before. Nothing new
was ELECTED except some evidence
that the missing witness, Farrell,
was in the county at the time of
the murder and might have been
with Curlee, as stated by the latter.
The case will be submitted on Mon
day.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Intense in.
terest is manifested in the result of
the great corner in wheat now be-
ing run by the Milwaukee and Chi
cago commission merchants. The
price has been steadily advanced
for two weeks, with n prospect of
being maintained mt the present
rate or at a still higher one during
the remainder Of the month. The
visible supply of wheat is now but
about four millions, and the short
sales for August delivery aggregate
nearly twenty millions. Mean
while, although some damage has
been done to crops n this section, it
is believed that no widespread or
great injury exists
