TRADE WAS VERY QUIET
WHEAT A TRIFLE STEADIER ON THE
DwINDLING LIQUIDATION.
Corn n Shade Up Small Accept
ances and Oats Unchanged-Provi-
sions Lower for All Varieties.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Board of Trade mar
kets were dull to-day. Wheat was a trifle
steadier on the belief that liquidation Is
about over, but closed at a net decline or
1sc on slack outside support. Corn closed
shade higher and oats unchanged. Provi-
sions closed 561211c depressed.
Under close scrutiny steadier tone could
be detected in the market for wheat. Not
that the demand has improved, but the
liquidation of long stuff during the day
had the appearance of tail-end holdings
being thrown overheard to clear the decks.
May wheat opened sc to 1sc higher. at
74zQ741hc. and touched 747sc. the trade
being impressed by the firmness of ca
bles compared with weakness on this side
yesterday The bulge met slack support.
and decline to 1850 ensued. Heavy re-
ceipts, too, aided In depressing prices but
a moderate amount of buying at the bottom
near the end of the session caused rally
&c 74lsG7414c. and the close was steady and
1sc lower, at 741sc. Seaboard clearances N
wheat and flour were equal TO 292, 900 bu.
Primary receipts aggregated $4,000 bu, COM
pared with 100000 bu last year. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported 407 cars, against
331 last week and 374 year ago. Local
receipts were fifty-three cars, two of con-
tract grade. New York reported twenty
loads taken for export.
While corn was a narrow market most
~ within local confines and somewhat in
clired to harken to the voice of the de-
Ginning wheat market, the tone was firm.
Country offerings were light, the highest
BID sent out last night bringing only 1000
bu out of country cribs. Long stuff was.
as usual, firmly held Shippers had their
usual trouble and disappointment over the
car scarcity. May sold between 3S7sc and
SSssc, and closed shade higher. at 3sa4p
3S3sc Receipts were AS cars, one of con-
tract grade.
Business in the oats market was very
quiet, but when favored with encourage
ment from the neighboring markets oats
inclined to the bull side. Receipts were
PAS cars. May sold between 254c and 251sc,
and closed unchanged at 25hc.
Provisions were quiet. The opening was
firm on light hog receipts and firm prices
at the yards Hogs were weaker later
and this had effect provisions. A
Stacker cash demand also helped to wear
away the opening strength. May pork sold
between $14.20 and S14, and closed 121sc
lower, at S14.05; May lard between $7.421s
and 1914. closing &c down, at $40, and
May ribs between S.1715@I20 and $7.011,
with the close 711c depressed, at $40
Estimated receipts for Monday-Wheat,
g. cars; corn, AGO cars; oats, 252 cars, hogs,

College basket ball. still a young
sport gives evidence Of making great
strides the coming season. Already
Columbia aud Harvard are considering
plans for the formation OF Il five team
intercollegiate basket ball association.
Such league would give the sport a
great boom and by making It possible
to have an intercollegiate champion
would put it more on the plane Of hook
ey and lacrosse.
Columbia expects to foster basket
ball this year, for she had a good team
last season. and now has great hopes
OF producing championship five. Vic
tory over the colleges is her only OBJ
ject, and the other matches TO be played
are more from financial necessity and
for practice than anything else. Two
or three big games are all Columbia
can support IN her own gymnasium.
and the maintenance Of her quintet
must come largely from out Of town
guarantees.
II. c. Townsend. who rowed at No. 2
in Columbia's varsity crew last July,
will play guard, and c. NJ. Marston

play forward, and no better men for
these four positions are desired. Only
at center is new man needed, and
there are several available men.
