FOOTBALL

New York, Nov. cornell and Column
bia were well represented at Manhattan
field this afternoon when the football
teams from Ithaca and the local univer-
sity met on the gridiron. Columbia was
a pronounced favOrite, odds of to be-
ing laid on the blue-and-white, but the
wearers Of the red-andw white had plenty
of backing and the Ithacan rooters got
all the cash as well as the glory, as Cor
nell won, shutting out the Columbia team
by a score Of % to 0. The weather condi-
lions were perfect for a good game. Fully
$1,000 persons witnessed the contest. Of
these 1900 passed through the several
entrances and crowded the stands and
beachers. The remainder were packed
like sardines on the big viaduct and along
the new road up on the heights to the
westward "Coogan's Bluff" and the sur
rounding points of vantage overlooking
the enclosure afforded accommodation to
thousands of deadheads, who Joined in
the cheers and college yells which were
continuously echoed and re-echoed from
the field below. The red-and-white Of
Cornell was more plentifully distributed
than the Columbia colors, but the crowds
seemed to be equally divided in their al
legiance to the rival teams.
When Cornell scored the first touch
down and kicked a goal, the Ithacan SYM
pathizers broke loose and the waving
mass of red and white flags and ribbons
extended over some forty acres of the
Northern Gotham Columbia was very
much crippled, shortly after the opening
of the game, by losing the services Of
Wright al right guard, who was disquai-
fled for smuggling. a few minutes later
Captain Wilson was forced to retire and
soon afterward Cornell scored, Walbridge
running and lodging for forty yards
through Columbia's players and planting
the ball behind the line. Young kicked
the goal and Cornell counted six points.
The remainder of the first half was not
productive Of any further scores.
The second half was full of good plays
and hard work, in which Columbia was at
times unfortunate. Cornell was always
the stronger and with two more touch
downs and subsequent goals, in addition
to a place kick by Young, % points were
added to CornelTs score At the end of
the game Columbia had failed to tally
a point and the contest ended in Cor
nelPs favor with a total of % to O.

"OPEN DOOR" POLICIES DEFINED
Both Russia and Germany Profess
LiYe-and- Let-LYe Intentions

Washington, Nov THE Russian am
bassador Count Cassini. who is Just back
from long visit to Europe. was seen at
the Russia nembassy today and talked in
a most entertaining manner on interna-
tional questions which have engaged pub
lie attention recently. Count Cassini's
name has been prominently identified Of
late with the Chinese situation, as il has
been stated that on his return here he
would make known TO the president and
Secretary Hay the desire of the continent
tai powers of Europe that the United
States should indicate what port and
sphere Of influence in China It desires TO
occupy. 81 saw many prominent public
men while in Europe, including Count
Muravieff," said Count Cassini, land I
assure you that this Is the first time that
1 have heard that such a proposition was
TO be submitted to the United States. In
my talks at st. Petersburg, Paris and
elsewhere many phases of the Chinese
subject were discussed but nothing, abso-
lutely nothing, occurred to warrant any
report that I, individually or with others,
have any special inquiries to make con-
corning China. To be sure, this and all
other current topics are informally dis
cussed but It can be stated positively that
I return without any special mission TO
perform, and without instructions relating
to China"
Count Cassini said 1t was difficult to
understand the recent agitation over an
"open door" in China. 80 far as Russia
i concerned" said he, "her door stands
open. The great commercial port of Ia

Concerning the identity of Russian and
American interest in China, he said Rus
STA was now buying rails and railroad sup
plies from the United States TO build the
Trans-Siberian railroad through Manchu-
ria; moreover. the ambassador pointed out
that there as elsewhere the traditional
friendship between Russians and the
Americans existed.

HOG MARKET STRONG
Good Receipts for Election Day
and Trading Active.
TOPS DOWN 2 10 CENTS
No Cattle Market for Want of
offerings,

Steady to strong marked the reports for
most OF the western markets, although
just plain steady was given out at times
Tor some of them. The local Wichita
market was steady to strong all day and
on the close the quotation was very firm.
1t was very fair day, considering it was
election day, and the car receipts showed
up very satisfactory. There were in all
cars sold and weighed up and two more
cars received late, which will go over
the scales this morning. The general
grade of the car hogs registered was OF
the heavy class, the average weight being
249 pounds, only four pounds below the
weight of the day previous. There was
only one car of light weight hogs, the
other SIX being heavy enough TO bring up
the average Of what il was. The volume
Of receipts yesterday was generally bet
ter than the day before, but outside Of
chicago none of them were anything ex-
ira. There was good demand for hogs
al this market, and all of the car hogs
offered were sold at once and at the
strongest prices the universal market
would warrant. The reported late cars
We're waited for as long as il was posi-
bic to handle them and some were left
over for today's trading. The demand
was greater than the supply, and more
fat hogs Of light weights and mediums
would have been taken at good figures
pad they appeared. This market paid
good prices for the purchased hogs so
long as they lasted, and the receipts rela-
lively were well up to the reports from
other markets. The trading was good on
the car stuff, and the wagon offerings be-
ing light the trade in this division, which
is always before noon, was dull and life
less 1t was a good day on the market,
and it being election day considered, It
was very satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned.

UNCHANGED.
Liverpool showed but a small advance
in view of yesterdays gain in wheat here,
and the opening in wheat was easily and
sc under last night, December at 6S5sc
and May at 727sd73c. Scalpers took almost
absolute possession of trade, and fucJua-
tions were consequently narrow. The
trade was very dull, owing largely to the
closing Of many outside markets on &C
count of elections. Covering by shorts
in a small way acted as a support TO the
price and December advanced early to
69lsc. This was lost, however, on profit
taking, the price receding to 6S24c for De-
eember and to 7224c for May, holding for
some time TO these figures The best sup
port of the day came from the north
west. Minneapolis offered an enticins
premium for choice wheat. December adj
vanced to 691sG6914c, and May to 731sc, in
Guenced by the northwest cash strength,
and those were the closing prices. Re-
ceipts at primary points were 10o1,9s4
bushels. Northwest receipts were 963
cars, as compared with sos last week.
Local receipts were 152 cars, sox of con-
tract grade. Clearances of floor were

changed prices, with the bull sentiment,
aroused Saturday, still prevalent. Shorts
evinced a desire to cover their December
deliveries, but holders were not inclined
to release the coveted option. Liverpool
was strong. The effect of holidays in the
east was shown in the absence of shipping
orders. December opened unchanged at
315sG3114c, and advanced to S1s.c, eased
off on taking of profits and closed 20
17c over yesterday at 315sc. May opened
at 325sd32sc c, sold to 33c and closed at
326c bid Receipts here were $40 cars.
Oats were dull and held steady with
corn. Clearances were incomplete, owing
to the holiday, only 1876 bushels being
reported. December oats opened a 2211c,
sold at 2215G229sc. and closed at 225z G22&zc
May opened at 24c. sold at 237sG241sc, and

Trading in provisions was practically
