EXTENSIVE SALES
HINDER ADVANCES
IN WHEAT MARKET
Profit Taking IN Progress for
Several Days Causes
Prices to Sag

Chicago. Aug. 3.-(R)-Extensive
profit-taking sales which have been
In ptogress for several days hind.
cred advances In the wheat market
Friday, and the market sagged at the
last.
Bulls made much Of reports Of in
creasing crop damage to wheat In
Canada and Of assertions that drouth
had been without much relief In the
United States corn belt. Fears also
were expressed that the 1885 domes-
tic winter wheat crop may be Id
versely affected by the fact that crit
ical weeks have been passed without
adequate rainfall.
Wheat closed easy, Nv under
Thursdays finish, Sept. new lO2A-
Il, corn A-N up, Sept. MN, oats
N-l9s down, and provisions showing
cents to Il cents gain.
Setbacks Of more than q cent Q
bushel from early top prices carried
the wheat market later to well below
Thursdays finish. Houses With east
ern connections became fairly active
sellers when prices bulged, and this
circumstance together with weakness
which developed In corn, had . gen.
erAl beArish effect.
Reports Of heavy rains at numerous
places In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
served Is drag on the corn market,
although general drouth relief for the
corn belt was regarded as still lack
ing. Authoritative unofficial Can
adian crop reports said the prospec-
tive wheat yield Of the prairie pro-
vinces was but 10h to 1914 bushels an
acre, with drouth, heat and grasshop-
pers taking heavy toll. Oats prices
fluctuated mainly in line with corn.
Provisions averaged higher respon.
sive to upturns Of hog values.

rear and by a creek in front. Both he and Paul Runyan, his partner. slapped drives down the middle. Runyan played safe to the right. Then Jones stepped up to his ball,
 To the horror of the gallery which was for him to a man, Jones chose the hard way and, using a No. 4 spoon, hit boldly for the pin. For the pin, mind you, a pin that seemed miles away, and located at the extreme far end of a slender, treacherous green. Up, up, rose the ball. Down, down, down it came, to dig in eight feet from the pin. A roar of applause from 2,0O0 onlookers that shook the country side was his.
 Jones smiled, and you couldn't help but know that inside he was laughing, and aching to get to the green and stab in home for an eagle. Then he putted. It was a miserable effort, the ball rolling wide and almost as far away as before he tapped it. His face fell. and when he barely got it down for birdie, when an eagle was in his grasp, something broke in Jones. Then, for the first time, he realized that maybe, after all. he wasn't invincible.
 Then came the eleventh and the complete breakdown. AS on the fourth he started bravely, with a drive that whistled down the mid- dle. When he walked up to the ball, Jones saw that luck had left him dismal hanging lie. Again he came through with a breath taking second shot. This time it was a brassie that bit into green only seven feet away.
 .Once again an eagle was his for the taking, and AS, he failed. His first putt was worse than you O.: I would have made. Bobby is on- ly 32, but he looked ten years more than that as he sighted for his second putt. And he came within and inch of missing it. He picked up the ball and walked over to Runyan.
 "You know, Paul." he said. in a voice of great concern, you know, I damn near took a five there."

BY MILTON BRONNER .NEA Service Staff Correspondent)

London, March 23.-If a lot of British blue ribbons are not brought back to the United States from the classic British races this year, it will be surprising, for American owners of crack gee-gees are making a mass attack on the first water races of this tight little island.
 Two of the most famous of the English race classics, the Grand National steeplechase and the As cot Gold cup will see American colors entered by several stables.
 In the latter race, in particular, an American horse is considered the big threat. This horse, Mate, one of the outstanding thorough breds in the United States, has been brought over by A. c. Bost- wick.
 The Grand National, to be run March 23, posted 73 entrants. Among these 73 were 10 owned by American men and women, and a British turf writer has said that of the 20 first-class horses in the field, six belong to Americans.
 He also has predicted that the chance of an American horse win ming is about one to four.
 Laddie Sandford's Sergeant Mur- phy topped the Aintree field in 1923, MT Schwartzs Jack Horner ,;s1 ;Y in 1888 Mrs Ambrose Clark's Kells- boro Jack was victor.
 American owners have had atrocious luck in the Grand Ma tional. A number of years ago Jock Whitney seemed to be sure winner with his Sir Lindsay. The horse was setting the pace all the way, only to lose a shoe at the last fence and see Shaun Collin pass him to win.
 Then, in 1928, Billy Barton ap- peared to be in. He and Tipperary Tim were the only horses left when they came to the last fence There Billy Barton fell, and his foe cleared the last hurdle to victory.
 Whitney's luck has been espe- cially bad. Last year George Pete" Bostwick rode Jocks fancied Dusty Foot and was tossed at the danger ous and difficult Becher's Brook. Easter Hero ran his heart out for Whitney, but finally was passed by Gregalach in the 1929 race. Jock is hoping his hoodoo will not at tack itself to his 1884 entry, Tho mond II.
 
 Speaking of Gregalach-
 This big Irish jumper that be- long to Mrs M. A. Memmell, has been made the favorite and as- signed top weight of 175 pounds. The reason is that he already has one victory in the Grand National under his belt and a place finish. Since 1929, when he won the honors, he has started in every running of the classic.
 However, this horse has had plenty of trouble since finishing second in 1881. He now is 12 years old and is always difficult to train. He has habit of bursting blood vessels under the trying test, and this caused him to be pulled >up in the 1883 running.
