CHICAGO CHANCE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The large pyramids of wheat and corn that have been built during the late rise in these cereals were rudely shaken during the first few minutes of today s session. In wheat the selling was general, New York being prominently connected with that side of the market. September wheat opened 54l2054ssc, declined to 53%c, closing g at 537sc-9s of a cent under yesterday: Cash wheat was in good demand, with prices l2c lower than yesterday.
 Corn was nervous and irritable today. The professional was notoriously ,wrong all day: He bought al the top, sold at the bottom, went short and covered when prices advanced again. The possibility of manipulation in September corn owing to the light supply and to the fact that one individual owns most of the contr act stock, has driven trade into May. sentember corn opened 494049l2c, sold be- tween soc and 4Sl2c, closing Ac under yester- day at 49Ac; May closed ssc under yesterday. Cash corn was strong at unchanged prices.

Iher was no state In the West that

Minnesota. Indeed, it was the fact
that the structure of prosperity and

to the enterprise and high character of
its pioneers. In the early days he had
known them all, though from the rapid
multiplication Of population that was
not now possible. Yet he knew that

EVIDENCE NEARLY ALL IN.
The Conway Trial Will Soon Be
Over.

MANKATo, MIMI, June 1.-Evidence
for the state is now nearly all in in
Conway's trial on charge of murder.
One witness testified this forenoon to
being in Walraven's place of business
the day before the homicide, and Layne
was there and say Walraven place his
pocketbook open on the counter.
Layne asked how much was in 1t. and
WaIraven replied $500. Several wit
nesses testified to seeing Conway and
Layne much together. The saloon
keeper where Layne left his borrowed
revolver testified to Layne's taking it a
few days before the shooting, and never
returning it. The bullet taken from
Walraven's body was shown to be a
Smith & Wesson 3S-caliber, and to
match the empty cartridge found, and
to be the same as the other cartridges
given by SchwartZenbach to Layne
when the latter borrowed SchwartZen-
bach's revolver, Which he never re-
turned. Another witness testified that
Conway told him that ''he was in it,
tOo," after Layne's arrest. When Con-
way had heard that the witness had
told this to the authorities he said the
witness had no business to tell it.
