and who without provocation shot c. Bell col
ored, in that city, on Saturday night, was CON-
mitted to Jail in default of $1,000 bonds. He

die, that he had killed several niggers down

PRICES ADVANCING.
Reports from Chicago to Sept % are
to the effect that there was a continued up
ward movement that day on Change, wheat
making most decided advance, No. 1 selling
as high as sj.oSA during the afternoon, and
closing strong at shade less than the best
prices. Although prices have advanced daily
for two weeks, with no retrograde movement
of consequence, the result has not been disas-
trous, except in three cases on Change, until
this date, when several small operators sus-
peuded; but the total amount of their liabili-
ties will hardly be $4,000. Provisions are also
strong, with decidedly buoyant feeling,
most marked in pork and short ribs. Farmers
appear to be holding back their supplies for
better prices.
