FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKEr

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Downturns in the value of wheat resulted today from de- clines in sterling exchange and from rains breaking the drought in Argentina The market closed unsettled, 1c to Pc net lower, with December 2.46 and March 2.41 3-4. In provisions, the outcome was unchanged to 25 cents higher.
 Wheat bears made much of the slow ness of eastern demand, and were quick to associate this slowness with the de- cline of sterling and with the relief of the Argentine crop Scantiness of coun- try offerings etnded to check weakness, however, and so too did gossip that 750,000 bushels had been worked here for export by way of the gulf Besides, estimates were current that already 50,000.0 900 bushels had either been shipped from the United States or been sold for export, on the other hand, the Canadian crop in three provinces was said to total 2S,00O.0OO bushels more than last year.
 Better weather conditions helped to ease down the corn market big clear ances of corn from Argentina to the United States counted somewhat also against the bulls. Oats sympathized with the weakness of other grain
 Higher quotations on hogs gave> firm ness to provisions. Cash demand for lard was likewise strengthening ia ,tor

The Norwich Kaceys and Ashland will again clash in the second game of the big series between the above teams. Ashland won the first game at Jewett City last Sunday in the ninth inning by a score of 10-9 in a hair-raising finish. Tomorrow's game will be played at the fair grounds and nc doubt the biggestc rowd of the season will be on handto witness the game. The Kaceys will work hard to even up the series. They have secured the services of state league battery for the balance of the season. Joe Sherman of the Hartford Eastern league team will pitch for Norwich. He has been steady and consistent pitcher all season, has won 13 and lost only games, and is also splendid hitter, having a batting aver age of .306 He has been used in the out field by Hartford this season principally on account of his hitting. Sherman's home is in Ashaway, R. L, near Vest erly, and a number of his Westerly friends will no doubt witness his debut with the Norwich team Jack Army of the Waterbury Eastern league team will catch for Norwich for the remainder of the season. Army is said to be one of the best catchers in the Eastern league and he also has good batting average. He is only 21 years old. His home is in Milbury, Mass, and it IS thought that he will be with big league club next season. For the balance of the team Norwich will use their regular lineup with Stapleton 1b, Hayes or Tucker Mur- ray 2b, Eddie Murray ss, Galliga Sb, Kelleher If, Eddie Mckay of, Bill Austin If, with Walsh sub.
 It is to be regretted that Spike Liberty injured his arm in last Sundays game and will not pitch again this season. Spike was going good and Manager Chase will have hard work to IeplacG him. However, | Spike has only the best wishes of the management and the entire Norwich team | for his speedy recovery. Manager Chase 1 has secured Woodland of the New Haven | Eastern league team to pitch tomorrow s | game Woodward has recently been sent i from St. Louis to New Haven and is a | top notch pitcher and the Kaceys will 1 have to be at their best to win. Frechette
 will catch, Chase 1b, McBeth 2b, LeClaire
 ss. Dugas 3b, Jarvis If, Benjamin of, | Clabby If.
 l Game will be called at 315 daylight

KACEYS READY FOR ASHLAND

ed Willis E. Davis and Roland Roberts, San Francisco, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2.
 Williams dominated the situation in his match with Griffin. He registered dazzling placement aces of his backhand and his service was also effective. He used his backhand with such uncanny skill that Griffin was caught out of posi- tion time and again.
 In the doubles match Wallace Johnson was the outstanding figure. He used his chop stroke to advantage at all times and frequently forced Davis and Roberts out of position. The team work of Johnson and Washburn was almost perfect Davis overland played an important part for his side, but his best efforts proved un- availing.
 At the outset of his match with Hayes, Mathey was complete master of the situation and gained two sets without difficulty. Then Hayes came to the fore front and by an excellent display of over hand and backhand strokes succeeded in capturing the match.
