GRAIN MARKET.
tBy Dispatch A. p. wire)

CHICAGO, July 16.-Sharp new up
turns in wheat values today. carried
the market above any previous level
which the December delivery has
reached this season. Reports of en-
larging damage to the domestic
spring wheat crop were at hand, es-
pecially advices telling of increased
deterioration in North Dakota. Clos
ing prices for wheat were unsettled,
1Ac to 2%c' up and provisions un-
changed to 1zc off, and oats &c to
l3zc@issc up and provisions unchanged
to Csc down.
Active buying which set in as soon
as wheat trade began, swept quota
tions upward cents bushel on the
first rush and later hoisted the days
top to AS cents higher than yester-
days finish for the September de-
livery The extremely pessimistic
character of field reports from crop
observers in the northwestern states
brought about a notable broadening
of general commission house demand
that received further impetus on ac-
count of high temperatures prevail
ing and lack of any adequate rains
this side of the Canadian boundary.
On the other hand, selling to real
ize profits widened out toward the
last, owing more or less to word of
some good downpours in Canada, par
ticular1y around Saskatoon, Saskache-
wan. In various quarters, too, ex-
perts contended that the outlook is
still for a bumper crop in Canada.
Meanwhile, export buying of North
American wheat today was estimated
at 100000 bushels and unlike yester-
day, nothing was heard of any Euro
pean offers to resell. Furthermore,
country offerings of wheat to arrive
were surprisingly scant in view of
the big upturns in price.
Corn was under pressure from prof
it-takihg sales on the part Of yester-
days buyers. Indications of warmer
weather than of late tended also to
ease the corn market. Oats followed
wheat.
Announcement of liberal increase
of the stock of lard here gave a
downward slant to provisions.

Flaw In Defense

One weak spot in a ball culb Will
ultimately prove serious handicap
to pennant aspirations.
With the season half over, despite
the fact the New York Yankees are
out in front by a comfortable margin,
a flaw in the defense of the club has
temporarily upset it's winning ways
Early in the race, when the New
York Yankees began to surprise oy
an. unexpected show of strength, the
experts predicted that sooner or later
the club would drop back because OF
an inexperienced infield.
The point was stressed that no club
could hope to win a pennant with
rockies at the all-important positions

to note that when the New York club

A Big Upset
That the New York club, with prac-
tically rookie infield, could step out
in front to 10-game margin over
the first half Of the race stands out
as .cne of the big upsets of major
league baseball.
OF the infield recruits. Mark Koe-

of -he youngsters to falter Brilliant

mig is inclined to be erratic at times.
Errors mean nothing unless they
arc costly. In this respect jinx ap-
nears to have camped on Koenigs
trail
1t seems when Koenig makes an err
ror, the player who managed to get
on through his mistake invariably
scores. Very often the slip paves the
way to many more runs that would
have been impossible but for the first
miscue.
I recall one game in which Wash
ington made six runs after two were
out in the ninth when an error by
Koenig blazed the way. Perfect hand

Koenig, but as they continued, psy-

Mental Attitude Wrong

"If / kick this one I suppose it will

There is no question as to Koenig's
ability in the field. At present he
