FOREIGN EXCHANGE,
WHEAT QUOTATIONS STRONG.

Chicago, July 7.-Bullish crop reports from North Dakota together with black rust in Manitoba and Saskatchewan did a good deal today to lift the price of wheat. Closing quotations were strong
 10 to ) cents net higher with Septem-
 her s120 1-2 to 1.20 3-4 and December
 51.23 to 1.23 1-2. Corn gained 5-S to
 1 1-2 cents; oats 7-S to IA cent, and
 provisions to 20 cents.
 Wheat values began to ascend as soon as trading got fairly under way the
 chief initial impetus coming from ad- vices that on much acreage in North Da-
 tota the crop had been almost entirely destroyed by drought and that in some other parts o1 the state the quality had | been injured. Bulls put emphasis too. on disappointing threshng returns from Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missou- ri. It was estimated thkt, deterioration in Missouri amounted to ten million bushels compared with the prospect a month go. Such conditions made the market in the later trading more sensi- tive than has been usual of late regard l ing black rust news. The chances of harm from black rust north of the in- ternstioHal boundary were said also to | be greater than in the domestic crop. ] Continued dry weather had a bullish influence on corn. Oats like wheat were affected by adverse threshing returns Prov ,2ions advanced readily with grain and u7gs.

Haven owner must have had advance in- formation in the matter, as it is general ly recognized that Shinault w@s purchas- ed from the Waterbury club purely as an investment and that sooSer or later he would be disposed of to the majos league team offering the best inducements. Shi nault is not a great catcher. He is q catcher of the mechanical type, one who is not overblessed with gray matter and who will depend upon someone else 10 do much of his thinking. Howeve-, Shi- nault is only a cub in baseball experi- ence and may ultimately prove a handy man behind the plate for Iris Speaker
 Baseball fans Of New Haven fear tat Joe Leary's play may be impaired when he recovers from the effects of being h.t by pitched ball at Bridgeport the other day. There has been many d player whose stance at the plate has been ef- fected after being struck on j1e head. l-FraEce Chance, once peerless leader of the Cubs, was one of the few great

SPORT NOTES

Jim Johnstone who umph eG a ma Jority of the Yale games at the fed dur ing the college season, has devised a rtew mask for catchers, one sporting goods concern is to put on the market and which the inventor declares is an :n1- provement on the wire muzzle now in use.
 His contraption has no wire. but is one 1iece of metal, with the necessary apparatus for eyes, nose and mouth. 11e metal Is a composition Of his own. something like aluminaum an1 lighter than the wire mask
 Leather stuffed with hair makes the buffer and Johnstone claims for his mask that it will absorb shocks bette. tan the old and will defect the bail without cutting or scratching it's leather surface.
 If one studies The statistics of the Athletics carefully, he will find that practically all tae pitchers anI. a large percentage of the rest of the team are either of Southern lineage. or else have acuired their early baseball training be- low the Mason and Dixon line.

PORTUGAL TO HOLD
 ELECTIONS NEXT SUNDAY


 Madrid. July 7.-Elections will be held throughout PortugI. on July D, but royalist exiles living in Spain do not ex- pect their party to obtain a majority in the chamber of deputies, or even a strong representation. They assert that the republican government of Portugal has decided to use the registration lists of 1919 from which most royalist par tisans were excluded, together with fol- lowers of former President Sidonia Paes. who was assassinated in 1918. They say that as a result of this action. they will be unable to cast the number of votes their party is able to muster. Colonel Paiva Couceiro, acknowledged royalist leader, former governor of An sola, and leader of various incursions in to Portugal since the proclamation Of the republic there, declared here today that return of the monarchy in Portu- gal was necessary for the future devel- oDment of that country. In the course of an interview with The Associated Press, he asserted that monarchist oppo- sition 10 existing Portuguest institutions ] was not because the present government was operating as a republic. but that na- tional existence under the present system
 would be impossible.
 ''The present republican government' he declared, "is not a peoples govefn-
 ment, but a government of republican factions. Since 1910 there have been
 twenty-one revolutions and seditious
 movements ill Portugal and in the same period there have been twenty-nins cab
 inets. No president has occupied office
 for the full legal term.
 Nothing except a radical change can
 extricate Portugal from her present po- sition. The monarchical regime con- structed Portugal, endowing the country with the best traditions of prosperity and glory. The royalist movement doe, not mean reaction, but authoritative ac ton and social discipline, without whicr
 no civilized nation can make progress

 counts for supplies, and embark upon

 ! Both Mir.

MT. Hoover es- timated that two hundred thousand ad- ditional men could be employed by the roads if funds were available. Mir.
