tcrday. when he secured the Sc.
attic Golf club championship title
by scoring a six and five victory
over n. A. Dixie Flcager in the
final 5eholc test on the North End

Both players had their woods
working well and IL was about
s;and.off in that department, but
the iron work OF the youngster far
cxeolled that OF the veteran Dixie.
Not only was the latter off with
his shot-tothe-pln, but his work on
the putting greens was very faulty.
To see. or hear OF, Dixie F1eager
putting poorly Is something very
unusual because he has long been
recognized as one OF the deadliest
puuers In the Northwest.
Bon Stein won because he played

VIOLENT UPTLJRN
 IN GRAIN PRICES
Alarm Over Chance Of Frost Catching Corn
 Causes Buying Rush

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.--Violent upward swings in price and incessant rushes to bay made today one long to be remem- hered in the grain business here. .unrtpened corn crop in widespread stratches of the best producing terri tory would be caught by frost was the chief disturbing influence. ey
 The corn market quickly ran up as much as 5Ac above yesterdays gain of 5gsc apd closed excited at a net ad- vance ranging from 1c to 4hc, Decen- Der at sA1sA 0119 and May at $1,20A Q l.29as Wheat and corn were also great ly unsettled, wheat finishing 1hc to 3hc higher, September at $1.33@L3 33l&, December at $1.37%G1.3S and May at $1.37% @1.3S, with oats 1hc to 7Hc up, and provisions ranging from 7c decline to a rise of 10c.
 New high price records for the sea- son were attained by every delivery of corn and oats and by nearly ale de- iiveries of wheat The immediate de- velopment which perhaps aroused the greatest apprehension as to the crop outlook was the fact that the United States government weather forecaster at Chicago, Prof. Henry J. Cox, had gone one record as saying that, in his opinion, there would be no summer weather here this year. This was gem orally taken by traders to imply that great portion of the. corn crop ai- ready imperilled by unusual lateness of the season would fail to mature.
 Adverse reports from crop experts who had just trayersed large part of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska added to the force Of the buying stampede In the corn market, and were supplemented by news of further unseasonably cold wet weather detrimental to corn, and to oats as well, Heavy profit-taking sales of both cereals failed to turn either down4grade.
 . Wheat advances were specially stimu- lated by frost reports from Canada and by optimism about agreement between France and Germany. Continuous new buying in which houses with eastern relations were conspicuous kept the market mostly pointing upward from start to finish. .4-
 Provisions averaged higher, sympa- thizing with grain and responsive to A big decrease shown in stocks of lard here.

NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-The cot ton market developed heavy Iiquida- tion and a good volume of short selling in today's short session, and prices were forced down $6 bale as a result. Show CTS in north Texas and west Texas, as we'll as in Oklahoma and other portions of the belt, were the immediate incen- tives, but the main cause of weakness was the fear that the next government report based on the condition of the crop on August 16 may indicate 13,000,- 900 bales or over. October, after open ing 32 points down and trading at 2592c for the days high, declined to 25.15c, or 97 points under the previous close. De- cember declined from 25.92c near the opening to- 25.13c, or s7 points below yes- terday's close. The close showed net losses for the day of 79 to 30 points.
 There was heavy selling and liquida- tion of long accounts during the ses- sion and stop-loss orders were un-. covered in some volume on the scale down. While the more favorable weather had more or less to do with the disposition to sell, traders were inn pressed by the recent indications that the crop is apt to be much larger than was generally expected, but little while back. The recent private esti- mates have reached the 13,0O0;000- bale mark and above, which inclines many to fear that the government will issue a large estimatd production in it's forth coming report, owing to the higher "pars" in use and the big acreage, even though the condition shown may be comparatively low.
