had but one passenger on board, was
damaged in the collision. Officers OF
the Merida went among the passen-

no danger. The passengers were
transferred to the Farragut in life
boats and lost all their baggage. Ac-
cording to a wireless dispatch received

A later wireless message from Cap

the belief that the Farragut had been
seriously damaged.

Russian shipments to be made this
week caused a down turn here today
in wheat. The bearish feeling was in
creased by Liverpool sending word OF

ports were also received of excellent
crop prospects in the Argentine.
Opening prices were unchanged to
1-SM14 cent up.
Corn eased off Influenced by wheat
Profit taking made oats rather weak.
Provisions were steady. Bullish re-
ports in regard to winter wheat south
west caused a sharp rally. The close
was firm. Selling carried prices

years of age. who has been for many

About / o'clock we heard the report

report kept up as fast as lively sol

recognized the gun and, as the en-.

entire line opened fire on the opposite
shore, avoiding sending their bullets
