EUROPEAN CROP REPORTS.
Large Shortage In Russia Reported
Outlook In Other Countries.

Washington, July 1S.-The agricultu-
raj Department. foreign crop report for
July states that commercial authori-
ties estimates the shortage in the Rus
sian crop of wheat at from So, 600 to
100 000, 600, as compared with last year.
The deficiency is most serious in the re-
gions most favorably situated for eX-
port. In the north unseasonably cold
weather has unfavorably affected all
the crops of hay, potatoes and all grains
except oats. The rye crop, an impor-
tant one, is very short.
The Prussian official report on wheat
is a little above fair" 2.3 being the
technical designation.
The Austrian outlook for wheat and
rye is good in all but one province, that
of Bukomain, Australia, Roumania and
Bulgaria all Slightly below the aver
age in wheat, rice and maize. A French
estimate of the wheat crop of Spain
and Italy puts it at 34,000,000 bushels
below last year, the shortage being
somewhat heavier in Spain. The wheat
crop in France is represented as salts
factory, but the optimistic estimates
made earlier in the season have been
scaled down by later crop damage the
estimate now being 352. 600, 900 bushels.
Gable reports of a severe general storm
presage considerable damages to a
grain crop that otherwise would have
ranked as fair.
Hay is very much below the average

conditions in Bengal and the northwest
provinces than for several years pre-
vious. but this Improvement does not

FOR TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE
TERRIBLE PLIGHT OF AN AMER
ICAN IN BRAZIL.
Captured By a Tribe On the Upper
Amazon and Sold Into Slavery
Made His Escape.

Indianapolis. Ind, July 17.-G. T. Nc
Kim of Thornton has received a letter
from Steve Fell, which says that for
twelve years he has been a slave in a
tribe of the upper Amazon. He start
ed with two other men, Messrs. Ed
wards and Boynton, one of whom died
from a snake bite, and the other from
fever Fell survived an attack of dis
ease, but the natives charged him so
much for their services that he was
unable to pay, and he was sold into
slavery.
Fell says his last owner was a young
woman, who treated him royalty for
time, but. becoming incensed at him,
she used great cruelty toward him.
Fell slew his guards and escaped by
getting to a tributary of the Amazon
and building raft on which he fioated
for many miles. A Catholic priest
named Patheny Guarno gave him
clothing and aid and letter to another
priest down the river, and he, nnally
reached Rio Janiero. From there Fell
shipped on a sailing vessel for San
Francisco, and is now working on a
farm in California.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Long Wheat Thrown On the Market
In Great Quantities Yesterday.

p Chicago. July IS.-Wheat opened weak
at IMH5sc for september, which was $50
re under yesterday. Fine weather every
where. lower cables and heavy receipts
were the chief influences at work in the
market. Long wheat was thrown on the
market in great quantity. September
touched 707sc Immediately after the OPEN
ing. This WAS put price and buying
against these privileges absorbed the bulk
OF offerings. Shorts covered freely or the
decline and the market gradually rallied
TO Use. ON the bulge the demand slack
ened again and September reacted 10 Tic.
Then the holders of puts made a second
turn. and this time it held until the close,
which was at n1q1$sc, a net loss of only
4sc. Primary receipts today were l, 10000
bushels, compared with 427. 600 bushels the
corresponding day of last year.
Corn ruled weak on heavy liquidation,
fine weather and sympathy with wheat.
The close was at a net loss of &c for
September.
Oats ruled dull. but remarkably steady.
September closed a shade lower.
Provisions showed remarkable strength
throughout, in spite of a weakness in
grain. Continued cash demand for both
domestic and export purposes stimulated
outside speculative buying. Added to this
was an advance of 100J15c for hogs at the
yards. There was a slight recession early
on profit-taking, but packers bought
freely on the decline and caused a rally
which was still in progress at the close.
September pork closed 15c higher; ribs
and lard gained 10c each.
The leading futures ranged as follows.

the Case

Harry H. Swekes was released yes
terday morning from the city Jail. The
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses could not be sustained. Such
at least was the opinion of the officers
and hence no formal complaint was
lodged against him. The checks pass
ed by Sleeves were all signed by HIM
self and made. payable to himself.
Hence there was no element of forgery
in the uttering of them. The charge
against him of obtaining money under
false pretenses could not be sustained
unless a witness were brought from
Missouri to prove that Shelves had no
funds in the bank, hence the young
man was released and went away with
friends.
