WOMAN ROBBED ON STREET.-THE

Newport News. Va. Aug. 14.-About
0 o'clock Saturday night lady was
held up on Lafayette avenue and rob-
bed of So in cash. The name OF the
lady has not been learned. but a report
of the affair has been made to the au-
thorities.
From all accounts the robbery was a
brutal deed. One of the men who heard
the womanS screams says the thief not
only deprived the lady of her pocket
book, but choked her in order to pre-
vent her from making an outcry.
She managed to scream, however, and
her assailant fed. Whether the thief
was white or colored is not known, and
there seems to be no clue of any con-
sequence to work on.
y movement is on foot among the
citizens of Merrimac and Riverview
nearby suburbs. to secure n free rural
delivery. ~ petition to this end will
be gotten up and presented to Post

the Department. There is hope that
the petition will be granted.

re. ranged from tx 67s7se TO 7d3tc and
closed at TJc, The usual anxiety over
the approaching government crop re-
port MAS evident AZ the beginning ard
put a damper on the trade. Primary
receipts were Se0,2fe bushels. as COM
pared with 1e5.504 last year. Duluth
and Minneapolis received SO cars;
Chicago u cars. eight Of contract
grade. The market showed considera-
bic weakness during the early trad
ing and lowest prices OF the day were
recorded In the hrBt hour Besides the
apprehension of bearish government
report. the market was depressed by
lower English and continental cables,
and by favorable weather throughout
the wheat belt. The constantly In
creased worlds visible supply was not
at all encouraging TO prospective buy
ers. The increase last week was a.
900 bushels. Worlds shipments
amounted to 1880 bushels. After
the market touched I2h973c. q better
feeling manifested itself. Shorts bought
moderately and a slow advance took
place. the price getting to 7S3sc before
the demand ceased.
Shorts apparently had a good deal OF
confidence In their position and sup
port from that source was more or less
prominent on every decline. The mar
ket ruled very dun during the after
room, and gradually declined TO &c. It
was bringing that price Al the close.
Corn was duh and weak all day, SYM
pathy with wheat being a factor. The
approaching government crop report
also had It's eject upon speculation, as
Il Is expected to show a crop OF at least
two billion bushels. Shipping houses
were the best buyers. Receipts were
72l cars. September ranged from
33HG337fc, and closed about 1tc lower
at 33&c.
Oats were Influenced almost entirely
by wheat and corn and a substantial
decline was chronlcled. September
was sold by both longs and elevator
people. There was good demand for
cash. but the speculative article was
hard to dispose Of. Receipts were 500
cars. September ranged from 20b9
20%c and closed %ghc lower at
2OSc.
Provisions were slow, but firm. Hog
receipts were heavy but outside sup
port was good and selling by shorts
restricted. Prices kept within mar
row range, slightly higher than Satur-
day. At the close September pork was
&c higher at IS so; September lard I'M
changed at IS IS and September ribs
