CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Standing orders
to buy at a decline rescued ,the wheat
market today from a threatened seri-
Gus setback. Cable advices were dis
appointing to the bulls, there were
some showers in the Canadian north
west, and it was predicted the weather
would be slightly cooler in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota. a little rain in
Russia aided the bears and so did eX-
pectation of heavy shipments from In
dia. All these Influences, however,
were more than overcome by I'M
shaken belief of many traders that
DAMAGE from drought and heat upon
spring wheat had not been exaggerated
greatly if at all. The market opened
q to 13sc down. September started at
l .O6 to 1O6A, loss of a to 1bc, and
touched 1.05s. Much long wheat came
out, but then prices rallied and there
was an advance to LOTS, within 1sc OF
the crest of yesterdays topmost wave.
Pit traders and scattered commission
houses sold corn down with wheat and
later were busy trying to buy back
September opened rs to Aaas off, at 6OSa
6Ol, to CO.'S, and reached 631s.
Stop-loss selling foD small speculatlons
weakened oats temporarily. Bull pur-
chases occasioned subsequent firmness.
September at the outset was at 3oAaSo's.
There was a rebound to 1925 to 39A4.
Selling by hackers lowered hog products
prices somewhat. Prices were to loc de-
cline at the start with the September OPP
lions at 21.55 to 21.G21a for pork, lilo
for lard and at 11.5o to 11.5715 for ribs.

Pittsburg is not out of the running in
the National League by long way. The
three straight defeats OF the Giants have
put Clarke's men dangerously close to
second place. Right now the Buccaneers
look as formidable as any club in the out

worlds champions may be counted on
for sensational base ball if they get on
even terms with the pacemakers.
It's funny how former Yankees gen.

The Philadelphia Times. in a disserta-
ton entitled 1.-The greater the star, the
greater the fall cites Nealon, the former

the highest price ever paid for a minor
Lacquer and he rose to his height and
fell back into mediocrity in the short
not get rid of him quiskly enough, and
you never hear of him as ball player

for Nealon died of typhoid fever early
this spring and is still dead.
