CROP EST T|MAIEs
PUT WHEAT DOWN
Leading Authority Says the
Yield Will Be 81 100000
Bushels Over Last Year
Corn and Oats Heavy on the
Market Despite Predic-
ton of Shortage

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-Wheat made =
downward plunge today. Influenced In
part by an estimate that this years
crop in the United States is the largest
on record. The market closed steady,
but &c to INC under last night. Corn
finished ssc to &c of; oats down y C
to 1zc. and provisions up &c to 15c.
According to leading authority, the
wheat yield for this season will reach
total of 37,000,000 bushels In excess
01 that OF the preceding Y months.
The new record WAS figured to be 526,-
100000 bushels winter wheat and 271s-
100000 bushels spring.
1t was after this estimate had been
made public that the market. which
had been under heavy selling pressure
throughout, reached the low point OF
the day and seemed unable to rally
except q little.
Earlier elements of weakness lay In
the end OF bull enthusiasm regarding
corn and In the total lack of export

Although the shortage of corn and
S;,5,a1 Snts this year was declared ;t to % ssr
ago, both cereals showed heaviness all
day, barring a splurge at the outset.
Taking the session as whole. the VOL
ume Of corn trade was BY no means
so large as heretofore OF late, nonpro-
fessional buying especially seeming to
have been exhausted
Resting orders to sell at an advance
were much in evidence. Predictions OIL
scattered showers discouraged the
bulls and SO also did later: reports OF
some rain at various points.
The oats crowd did not take oner-
ings at all well after the market had
begun to subside with corn. Cash oats

hard to sell at that.
Provisions advanced on account OF
buying credited to packers. 1t was gos-
sip that recent declines in the hog
market would curtail receipts to an
uncomfortable degree.
Hutton's Chicago Advices
Wheat-The tone was heavy from
the start. The poor milling demand
and entire lack of export call, the
weakness of corn, and estimates by q
est on record, are but few or the
depressing Influences Offers to sea-
board exporters or foreign buyers d.
rect have been made at lowest prices
relative to future on the crop, without
resulting in sales.
Corn-Except for an opening bulge,
the market had a heavy tone all day.
Rallies were fractional and brief The
trade was by no means as large as
heretofore, the volume of nonprofes-
sional buying being far less than re-
Gently.
Oats-Have followed corn to some
extent, but have shown even greater
weakness. This has been particularly
pronounced in cash oats, which are on

sell at that.

RIORDAN TRYING
TO VENT SPLEEN !

The spleen of some disgruntled
ballplayers after they have been
released is laughable in some
ways. Take, for instance, Jimmy
Riordan, who caught awhile for
the Tigers and was then re-
leased:
Riordan has returned to San
Francisco, his home, and immedi-
ately comes out with big spiel
in a Frisco paper. He barefaced-
ly states that the Tacoma fans
have no interest in the team, and
only mere handful or two at
tend the games. He says the
team has met with no success,
and that McGinnity is disposing
Of all his high-salaried players to
make both ends meet. He mod
estly refers to himself and Lou
Nordyke as two high-priced play
ers who were let go.
IL McGinnity was paying Rior-
dan high salary he was robbing
himself, from what the fans saw
of the latter's baekstop work.
Riordan displayed no particular
catching ability, and never made
