The Mexican was arrested on a charge by
Evans that he had stolen the stock from him.
In the Justice court the Mexican was dis

LONDON, Aug. The Grant memorial
service in Westminster Abbey this afternoon

The wheat outlook is likely to see little
change until the August returns come in a
week hence. Western reports, public
and private. agree that spring wheat has
suffered injury which is serious. because
this grain, which years ago was one
seventh of our wheat supply, is now three
sevenths of the total yield. European
wheat crops are reported more favorable
than a month ago, and the net outcome
seems to be that the supply in this country
will be principally needed at home. leaving
little tor export, and will be marketed at
a sharp advance in price.
