CHIoAeo GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Aug. 1o.-Heavy profit talk ing sales more than wiped out in the wheat market today advances due to closed weak. 1-2 to ? 1-4 cents net lower, with September 121 3-4 to 122 and De- cember 124 3-4. to 125. Corn lost 3.8 to % and cats 5.S@3-4 to 7-8@1c and provisions to 30 cents.
 Although the wheat market opened with general buying and a material up turn in prices, the fact soon became evil dent that speculation had fully dis counted whatever was bullish in the of fcaal crop estimates from Washington beforehand. Much of the selling on the advance came from a big elevator con- cern. The volume of offerings from this source and from other houses that CO., operated proved far too great for the buying power in the market, and caused values to move down grades during al- most the whole session despite export purchasing here of about 500 900 bush- els and notwithstanding that 10000 bar rels of flour had been taken at the sea- board, partly for Russian relief. Some interest was shown in a British estimate putting the worlds probable import needs at es2,oO0.0oO bushels as against an estimated exportable surplus ofs 664.- 00o,000 busAeln.
 Enlarged country offerings weakened corn. Oats fen in sympathy.
 Sharp breaks in the price of hogs pulled down provisions.

 Although tennis is the international game and English is being accepted &S the international language, it has rsct yet progressed far enough to permit all the arrangements for such a contest as this years Davis Cup matches to- be ar ranged without some difficulties in co1;- munication. When it is recalled that twelve nations challenged the United States this year and that they represent ed every continent except Africa and that furthermore, the bulk of tho ar arrangements for these events must oe made by cable on account of the short timo available it will be apparent that it is quite a job to make certain. that everyone understands just what he is expected to do.

the house of commons tonight by J. Aus tin Chamberlain. lord prfvy also said that the kings civil list tthe sum pro- vided from public funds for the ewnses of the royal household) had shown a progressive deficit for several years.
 The deficit in 1919 was pounds sterl- ing 24.5oo and in 1920. pounds sterling z5 900. and it probably would be greater in 1921. despite a reduction in the state functions ana the strictest economies which the king was initiated.
 King George, MT. Chamberlain said. had been meeting the shortages from fund he had accumulated for such an emergency and had declined to agree to a suggestion that the government tam porarily increase the civil list. being un- willing to involve the pubNc with G1 additional charge in view of the serious state of the national finances.
 Mir Chamberlain declared that Kng George also had favored a material re- auction in the ceremonial spiendor trn- ditonally associated with the British throne. but the government had advtsed him that parliament and the great naass of the population of the empire vu11d prefer 10 maintain the dignity of the crown.
 Meantime economics had been tntro- duced In the royal household and. al- though costs had doubled. the rcyd expenditure was only fourteen per cent greater than. in 1910. and the king be- lieved further economies were poREihie and was appointing a committee to ex- anime into the question of saiariea maintenance of palaces and other ex- penses. hoping that an aDpreciable re- duction would enable him 10 avoid ast- inr for an increase in the civil nst
 Mir. Chamberlain. recalling that ehs king in 1916 voluntarily contributed pounds sterling 100000 to the national treasury. said King George wished to make further contributions but that she government had advised that he contrib ute to public charities instead of to the exchequer.
