Sti s were 100 for export and 665 for

dull. The signal servlc predicted gen
erally fair weather In the cotton belt
during the next twenty-four hours. To
day Vi features: The decline was due
largely* <t*o liberal reclpts at the ports;
moreover, trade was dull and the crop

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago. Aug. 27.—When the wheat mar
ket c4osed today the price was %c. worse
off than it was at the end of Saturday’s
session. It was a dull, dragging market
from the start to the finish, and the hold
ers of prlvlledges were the best traders.
Within narrow limits the action was ir
regular. Orders from the seaboard were
not large or numerous and foreigners
were evidently holding off. December
wheat opened at 67%; sold between 68a
67%a%; closing at 67%a%, Cash wheat
was In good demand by elevator people.
Prices were steady and without change.
Corn was Arm until the final few min
utes'of the session, when the Inability of
wheat to make an advance acted as a
damper to the bullish tendency of com.
The dry weather West, to some extent,
continues to affect the action of com
values. 'Mav com opened at 63; sold be
tween 63%a52%; closing at 62%a%-%c.
der Saturday’s. Shippers were the best
buyers of cash corn today. Prices ad
vanced 1 cent higher than Saturday.
The oats market was not an attracUve
one today. The statistic* on that grain
were not viewed In an important light
Provisions—There was continued Arm-
Some of the packers gave good
during the balance of the session whilst
others sold .tndderately. The close was
5 cents higher than Saturday for January
rark and rlbh and unchanged for January

Chicago, Aug. 27.—Wh -at—Cables came
to the front this morning showing Arm and
higher market* abroad, but what effect
this would have had on the market wis
more than an offset by the estimates on
European wheat crops, making the con
dition average 96.1, and the market opened
quiet at about Saturday’s closing quota
tions. the only activity has been of a
scalping order, there being little or no
outside trade and prices have been con
fined within a range of %n. the entire ses

Inactive ond continued dull throughout

PUAiNNED TO KILL HIPFOLTTE.
Assassination of the President of HayM
Prevented by ft Woman.
Kingston .Jamaica, August 26.—Nows
!hn» reached here, from what has hith
erto proved a. reliable eource, thunt an
attempt 1 was made a few days ago to
assassinate President Hlppotyte of
Bayti. The attempt, it Is said, %tas
made one evening when Hlppolyte was
on his way to Ciis country residence, a
few miles from Port-au-Prince.
Tenfty-'four men, armed w«Ith pistols,
wUtloned themselves along the road
Which tho president was to take, and,
according to arrangement the first
shot was to be fired when the Intended
victim reached the centre of the l*nc.
Escape would then be rendered almost
Impossible.
A woman was responsible for the fail
ure of the pilot. One of the wouM-be
asp&ssln* told his sweetheart of the
conspiracy and she gave tho hint to
one of Hlppolyte’g generals. The con
sequence was that nn the evening In
question the president sefr out from
Port-MU-Prlnce Mth an extra-r»;rong
body guard, whllo a squad of soldiers
was sent on ahead to search the woods.
Several ambushi-d men were caught
and placed under arrest, but the rest
eluded pursuit. Only two were bold
enough to carry out the original plan.
These got dose enough to bhe president
to fire, but both bullets missed tho In
tended victim.
