CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 2i-There was
more business In the wheat market to-
day than has been seen In long time.
The sentiment was unanimously hearish.
There were heavy POPULATIONS in Decein-
Der and considerable changing from That
month into May. Towards the end OF
the session IL was learned that the
Northwest WAS Offering. freely OF May
and July at Wall street. This gave me
close here more pronounced weakness

not great, but nevertheless II Indicated
the lack Of stability Of ruling prices.
The weakness was the immediate re-
suit OF the decline IN wheat. but the
popular belief is that the crop OF lS'J,
when il begins 10 move, will exercise
such a powerful influence on values that
the present quotations Will seem high
by comparison. May corn opened at

new feature and prices moved slowly,
but In a downward direction. May

be given on Harvard by many of the en-
thusiasts. This VIII not increase their
chances for success one iota. however.
The Pennsylvania team has rolled ~
the largest scores of the year. and their
men. on the whole. have shown the best
individual and team play Of any of the
largest college eleVcns In Williams, her
captain. Pennsylvania has the best quar-
ter-back of the season. Williams was
the strongest quarter on any OF last
years teams and an added year Of ex-
perience has made him doubly valuable
Brooke. their full-back, TOO. is probably
the best kicker among the college play
ers this fall. Pennsylvania has also two
powerful half-backs in Minds and Gil
bert. though neither is as much star
as were OsgOod and Knipe, Of last years
team. In the line she is stronger than
Harvard and heavier.
Harvard. too. IS strong behind the line
Three Of her four backs are veterans
while Borden. who fills Bob Nrenn.s
shoes at quarterback. plays well Tor a
irst-year man. Gonterman, Nfshuhs-
ton. and Charles Brewer cannot be eX-
celled as a trio Of half-backs by any OF
the teams, while Fairchid at fun back
is a kicker Of a high order As with
Yale. it is in the line that Harvard's
weakest spot will be found. Princeton
broke through her centre three times, ana
blocked kicks. and the Crimson backs
found il very difficult 10 advance the
ball much with such poor protection as
they received. Team work and Interior
ence have been improved greatly since
then. however. and the Cambridge sup
porters hope to see less fumbling ana bet-
ter protection for their runners.
The cares and responsibilities OF the
Harvard captaincy have had an uniortu-
nate effect upon Arthur Brewer this fall,
and ne fell so far behind In his studies
that the college faculty decided about TWO
weeks ago that ne should not play on
the team. lie has kept up ms work In
coaching the men. however ana plac-
ticed with them. while Edgar Nrighting-
ton. the plucky half-back, has acted as
held-captain. Unless the faculty shouid
rescind their edict at the last moment,
Captain Brewer will watch the game to-
morrow from the side-lincs while wright
ington will captain the Harvard players.
unless another injury TO his damaged
cheek forces him out Of the game.
Yale has arranged a Southern trim 10
follow to-morrow's game, and the foot
bau team will play at the Atlanta ok
rosftion. as well az i'm several other
Southern cities. Except for this. to-
morrow's games will end the years work
OF all four Of the big teams, and there
will be "A run on the barber-shops In Doth
New York and Cambridge. The huEo
crops OF hair cultivated by the players
will be suddenly shorn, and the season OF
1895 will have passed into fooi-bal MS
tory. Whatever tho result or to-hor-

THE IRON MARKET

CLEV ELAND, o.. Nov. 1.-THE Iron
Trade Review to-day says: There IN
scarcely life enough In the iron market
to create any interest I'm the limited
business that a week brings forth. Set
fling prices FOR pig iron ana steel; weak
ness, though less pronounced In nearly
every form OF finished products. pro-
longation of tho work IN iron ores that
now promises 10 go on until there are
distinct regulations I'm secondary mar
kets. This Is the situation In bricf.
There is plenty, OF optimism abroad IN
the trade, IN spite OF the quietness, and
those whose prediction OF $50 bessemer
iron were made freely and confidently
three months ago are still giving utter
ances to their faith I'm the plentiful buy
are to come with the opening or the
new year. The speculative markets kor
bessemer pig ana billets have shown
further declines-nearly 81 a ton I'm The
LOO ton sales OF the week Sl2.l0 In the
Valley have been touched. Furnace
men have had little opportunity 10 Ray
what they would accept for lsW deliver
les, but II Is known chat a large cut
could be had from the <l5 figure talked
Of some time ago. billets have cropped
to $3.50 at Wheeling and SO at Pitts
burg has been shaded. Steel mills I'm the
Wheeling and Pittsburg districts are not
running full. ana there Ii found an ample
supply OF steel in second hands 10 meet
currena prices. Foundry irons are
lower. though there is little on which to
establish a market. Statesmen every
where lind foundrymen disposed 10 wait.
and the question 10 be settled at the
opening or the year Is whether they Will
contract freely for the future or follow
the market with month to month pur-
chases. In finished material there have
been no new declines In prices, though
the demand Is light. Agricultural imple-
ment buyers are disposed 10 postpone
contracts at least TO the first OF the
year. Meantime the Merchant Bar Iron
Association has decided TO keep prices
on present basis.
