OF GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
 SHOW DECLINE

Chicago, Aug. 14-Large receipts here and notices of increased con- signments from first hands had a bearish effect today on wheat. At first, however, the market showed some strength as result of firmness in the Liverpool market and of as sertions that no appreciable amounts vf British purchases in America had been cancelled. Predictions of light world shipments tended also to hard en prices at the outset The open ing, which ranged from 1a off to Is up, With September at $1O71a to S1.O7 3-4 and December at $1.06 3-4 70 SLOT, was followed by a slight gen. sral advance and then a mattrial de- cline all around.
 Corn eased off when wheat turned weak. Trade was confined in the main to transactions between pit spectators. After opening unchang- ed to IS higher, the market under went moderate sag.
 Lack Of buying support was appar- ent in oats. Better weather for har- vesting seemed to inspire general sell
 
 Provisions gave way to some ex- tent under the influence of lower quotations for hogs and grain. The volume or business was very small.
 Concerns that usually act for the seaboard were fair wheat buyers on the decline. The weakness of ster- ling exchange was said to Le operat- ing as decided check on exporters. Prices closed unsettled 7-S to 2c un- der last night with September $1.O5 o-S and December $1.04 IS.
 No important rally ensued in corn. The close was steady at 4 to 3-S@ hc net decline.

to the wall and the guard said he did
not move all night. Becker arose at !
O'Clock today. After breakfast he was
taken from his cell while the final prepa-
rations for his execution were made.
When Becker returned to his cell he
found that all of his clothing, personal
belongings and even the few furnishings
Of the cell had been removed. On a new
cot lay a thin black suit. white shirt
with soft collar and black tie. Black
stockings and soft felt slippers were also
provided. The left leg OF the trousers
was not slit when Becker donned the
