CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Bearish crop esti- mates from France and Canada tended somewhat to depress the wheat market today. Prices closed unsettled, 1-2 to 2 cents net lower, with September s1.23 1-2 to SIPS S-4 and December 1.25 1-2 to s1.25 3-4. Corn lost 1-2@5-S to 1 cent, and oats S-4 to 7-S@l cent. In pro- visions the outcome varied from 4oc de- cline to rise of 2 1-2 cents.
 Dovnturns in the price of wheat took place chiefly during the last hour of trading, the market earlier having been steadied by commission house demand based to large extent on the assumption that sooner or later export business would devlop in sufficient volume to absorb all the wheat surplus in this country and Canada
 Liberal country offerings weakened corn, December touching the lowest level yet this season Oats, like corn, lacked support.
 Provisions averaged lower as a, result of scattered selling which more than counterbalanced the effect of higher quotations on hogs.

DAVIS CUP TEAM PLAYER
 SELECTED BY COMMITTEE

New York, Aug 12-The American Da- wis Cup defending team will consist of William T. Tilden, 2nd, William M. John ston, R. Norris Williams, 2nd, and Wat son M. Washburn, the United States Lawn Tennis Association announced to- night. The players were selected by unanimous decision of the Davis Cup commite Its choice was made known on the last day permitted by the cup regula- tions.
 The challenge round will be played at Forest Hills, N. Y, September 2, and 5. The cup committee consisted of Robert R. Wrenn, George T. Adee, B. c. Wright, Samuel Hardy and Harold H. ackett.
 There was no question of Tilden and Johnston making the team" Samuel Hardy, captain of last years Davis Cup team declared. Tilden's condition upon his return from England caused consid- erable uneasiness but he has been resting most of the time since the Rhode Island state championship and ought to be- in good shape for the matches in September. Johnston is playing well and apparently Is following his usual course. His season is timed so that he will reach his best form about September l.
 with two singles players of such ability the committees problem was to select the comDlnaClon that WQulu pesl support them in singles in case Tilden or Johnston should be incapacitated, sup posing that they were named for the singles matches. From every point of view Williams and Washburn stood out as the obvious selections. They are players of known skill and are experi- enced in information tennis. As a doubles combination they have won the best tournaments of the year and in singles they have done very we'll
 Vincent Richards was watched close ly and it is a compliment to a young ster of his years that the committee found so much to admire in his play. Willis E. Davis, Wallace F. Johnston and others of the top ranking men were considered but when the. choice had to be made it speedily narrowed down to the men named"
