FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, June 20.-Wheat underwent sharp setback in price today, largely as a result of depression in the New York stock market and in cotton as well. The close in wheat was heavy, to 4c net lower, with July $1.24 3-4 to $1.25 and September S1.20 to $1.2o 1-z. Corn fin ished 1-4 to 5-S down; oats unchanged to 3-8 off, and provisions up 2 1-2 to 25c.
 Lack of confidence, which seemed for at least the time being to have grabbed the majority of buyers in the wheat market, proved to be much more than an offset for bullish field advices from the spring crop belt, and for disappointing harvest returns from the winter crop. One good rally took place, but otherwise the bears had things much their own way. Bulls were handicapped to the greatest extent by the general unsettling influence of the action of stocks and cot ton, but in addition the prevailing favor able weather for harvesting was an in- ducement to sell which was emphasized by record breaking receipts at Hutchin- son, Kas., 168 cars, and by the fact that new wheat was beginning to arrive in Kansas City. Besides, export demand was slow. With substantial increase shown in the visible supply total, buyers continued to back away throughout the late dealings, and to keep an eye mainly on the downward swing of the stock mar ket
 | Absence of rain tended to check weak
 hess in the corn market, and thereby tc | help sustain oats. Provisions ranged | higher with hogs.

SKETCHES OF CARPENTERS
 EARLY RING CAREER

The second and third years of Georges like a future bantamweight champion of the world. In 1908, he fought six battles, winning two by knockouts, one on foul, one on points, while each of the other two resulted in draw. Des- camps gradually became more daring in choosing opponents for the 15-year-old boxer. Salmon, the Englishman. whom he defeated by knockout the first time in IS rounds and again on a foul in 13 rounds, was among the best of the Eng fish bantamweights. Legrand, one of the shiftiest Of the French bantams twice held him to a draw, once for six rounds and again at 20 rounds.
 The following year promised to be even more successful In one of the ear- Hest bouts he knocked out in one round Wetinck, who had nearly held him even in one of the 1907 contests. Four vic tories by knockouts and nine bouts won on points. including triumphs over Char l lie Ledoux and Paul Til, both famous bantams, comprised the record for the year until Carpenter ran into Gloria, a veteran. who stopped him in six rounds. This was the first time that the Lens | youth had taken the count. Defeat at
 the hands of 8 more experienced boxer did not discourage either Carpenter or l Descamps for, on the whole, Carpen- | tiers development had been phenomenal and none recognized that fact better than
 the shrewd little man who has piIoted
