ATROCITIES IN PHILIPPINES.

Twenty-Five Monks Roasted Alive by
 the Insurrectionists.
 Vancouver, B. C., June S.-Further interviews with officers of the steamer Hupeh, now in port, elicit the fact that twenty-five Catholic monks were roast ed by the rebels in the Philippine Is- lands, and not by Spanish troops, as previously reported. The information was furnished by a prominent resident of Ilo-Ilo, in the group of islands, and corrobOrated by the Spanish troops. The customary mode of roasting suck ing pigs in the island is by thrusting a bamboo through the pig and then fas- tening it to an iron and roasting it over a slow fire. This was done to the monks, the bamboo being thrust through them while they were alive.

NOTES OF TIT E MARX FITS.

Cuthbert & Co. say of wheat: 'The wheat market developed a distinctly better undertone yesterday under the bullish influence of decidedly less fav- orable crop reports in consequence of the continued cold and unreasonable weather conditions of the past week. The visible supply in this country for the week showed a decrease of PAY ,000 bushels or over S0000O bushels more than had been expected. The north- west receipts were light, and foreigners turned up as good buyers here and at Chicago to protect their interests, ow- ing to the continued observance of the Whitsuntide holidays in the Liverpool market. The English visible supply decreased 980000 bushels for the week. Prices advanced 22s cents from last Saturdays closing quotations from July and 11a cents for the later months, and closed strong and active at the top, with a general scramble upon the part of the shorts to cover"
