Chicago Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO, July 27-More general showers depressed grain values today, September wheat closing IS lower and September corn and oats each 5-S to 3-4c down. Business was moderately active Provisions closed with declines ranging from 10 to 17 1-2. September wheat ov ned 7-S to 1 Is lower, at 69 3-4 to 59 l-2 under the influence of weakness at Liverpool and fair show CTS in the Northw est, almost the only part of the country where bumper crop Is not yet assured. The bulk of the days business was done during the first half hour. during which many small lines were liquidated. This pres sure eased later, and there was mod crate covering movement and some re- instating of long lines because of fear that damage might be done the spring wheat crop by hot weather, thought to be due. following recent rains. The market was thus worked up to 76c., but the close found feeling rather weak, September selling 7-Sc under yes terday at 69 3-4 Local receipts, 253 cars, 106 of contract grade. MinneapO- lis and Duluth reported POS cars against PIP last week and PIT a year ago. Sea board clej.rances in wheat and flour were equal to S55, 900 bushels, while re- ceipts at primary points aggregatBd cd S59,OO0 bushels, compared with 677 a year ago.
 Corn values sagged lower in conse- quence of a widening of the area bless ed with showers and moderating tenn peratures. Weakness was pronounced at the opening, when long corn in abundance came out. At the low price of the day, however, there were orders to buy. Commission houses purchased the cereal most of the session but the rally was only partial and the close was easy. September sold between 55 3-4 and 54 1-2. closing 5-S to 34 lower, at 55 S-s to S5 l-2. Receipts, 16S cars.

Boer Prisoners for the Bermudas

Hamilton, Bermuda, April % There
is considerable excitement at present in
Bermuda over Tho expected advent of
l 800 Boer prisoners.
The army officials are very ret,cent,
but the blacksmiths in town have been
sounded aa to their ability to construct
several hundred yards of fence, very
strong, close. high and with spike oints.
Bermudans are not feeling very com.
Portable over the matter. The island is
still garrisoned by the colored regiment,
the First West Indians, and their De-
havior has by no means been calculated
to inspire the confidence OF the people
they are supposed to guard. 1t Is hoped
that very strong force OF European SOL
diers will be sent with the Beers, or mat.

able as they recently were at st. Helena.
