THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Closes Firm After a Dull and
Heavy DuS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1s-The generally
bearish statistical returns tended to
check the bullish enthusiasm in wheat to-
day. Local professional holdings were
well liquidated. The commission house
interest was fairly heavy on both sides.
After ruling heavy for most of the day
the market closed firm on the strength in
corn. Liverpool was 5sG I'D lower
Paris, NC higher; Antwerp unchanged.
There were no cash sales reported here up
to the close; eighteen loads from the sea-
board.
While the general situation In corn is
unchanged. the pit conditions were Teak
for the greater part of the session. Lib
eral selling by commission houses and
weak local holders induced by the lower
oats and wheat markets, we're RESPONSE
BILE for the 1c decline from Saturdays
close The buying was confined TO one
or two prominent professionals and pit
shorts. Purchases for the latter account
closed the market fairly strong. A little
easing in prices at Kansas City had some
effect; also somewhat lower prices in tho
sample crowd.
The large receipts OF oats, l5D cars over
the estimates, were responsible fur the
early decline. Local longs sold freely.
There was some covering of shorts by the
interests which sold last week Late In
the day there was a rair rally on the
irmer corn market and a decrease in the
visible supply. The cash demand was not
quite so urgent, but on the other hand.

| ern railway deal and the engagements OF
more than 100000 gold for export by
| todays Steamship were almost the only
| matters of news yesterday of interest TO
| the street. The action of the stock mar
ket early in the session gave the street
the impression that Governor Van SAINTS
threat might be very serious matter for
the stock market
Prices went off, not sharply, but very
certainly, during the first hour of the
session The record of the full session,
however, tells a different story. As a
matter of fact prices held their own eX-
cellently, considering the developments.
There were some fractional declines ana
some small advances, and perhaps the
balance of the list would show a small
net recession, but after the advance OF
last week this could not be called IN the
least important
There was selling at the opening
of the day by the professional Interests
of stocks bought in the previous Week
At no time was there what looked like
liquidation OF long stock in any volume.
The worst feature OF the market was It's
dullness The public has retired from the
street in body. 1t would seem that il
the inside interests wish to make an
other boom for the purpose of selling
their big holdings of STOCKS, they will be
forced 10 begin their campaign again al
most where they did a month ago.
The public is not wary, really and ef-
fectually, but il is always timid until it
has been coaXed carefully and persistent
ly Then it becomes reckless. usually at
the very time when it should have that
discretion which is so much the better
part OF valor in the stock market.
The Van SAINT Pronunciamento.
The first feeling of fright over Gov
ernor Van SAINTS announcement of war
gave way to a more comfortably hopeful
attitude in the street as the day wore
on. and stocks did not tumble with any
animation. Opinions differed as to the
importance of the attitude of the Gov
ernor of Minnesota, but people who nave
watched Mr.. Morgan for a long time IN
his financial and railway operations sug-
gested that undoubtedly he and his lieu
tenants have considered the problem OF
State interference very carefully. ana
they make the cheerful deduction from
this line Of reasoning that if Mr.. Nor
gan has decided to go ahead with the
plan investors also may have falr con-
fdcnce It is noted that Governor van
SAINT himself expresses some doubt as 10
his ability to accomplish anything.

and C Streets northwest. The final score
was 10 TO 0, in favor of the Tanglewood
eleven.
Since the football season began great
athletic rivalry has existed between these
two teams Yesterday the supremacy OF
the Drawn and muscle of the winners was
clearly evinced at the very beginning of
the game. The vic ors outplayed their
opponents at every stage. Notwithstand-
ing that several players from the first
Emerson eleven were substituted against
them, they held thei~ opponents for every
inch of ground
The fine centre rushes for twenty and
thirty yards made by Could, Brewer and
Kerr for the Tanglewood eleven were
the chief features of the contest The
end smashes made by Alexander were
also worthy of mention.

DEFEATED SIXTH BATTALION.
Y. VI. c. a. Won the First Game in
Basketball League Series.

The District OF Columbia Basket Ball
/ League opened its championship season
last night in the National Guards Gym
/ nasium with a game between the Young
Mems Christian Association and Sixth
/ Battalion teams. The former won by the
score of Il to I.
The big gallery and all available space
on the floor were filled with enthusiastic
followers of the popular sport, and all
good plays were impartially applauded.
| The game was clean and free from the
rough and rowdy tactics which marked
the contests in former years, and if the
league officials continue to have the
games played as under their direction the
opening one was contested. the new
league will draw to it following which
will be profitable in every way.
As the score indicates, the gallant SOL
der boys did not overwork the official
scorer. Due allowance must be made for
them in the fact that this was their first
appearance in any league, and some of
the players, outside OF few exhibition
games, had never before tossed a basket
ball.
They made their total of four, a field
and free goal in the second half and
were thankful that they were not white
washed. Tie Y VI. {, a. players began
doing business early il the game. and
James. the clever left forward, landed an
overland deep-feld throw three minutes
after the bali was first tossed to the
centres" Other goals followed in rapid
succession until the whistle blew at the
end OF the first half, when the score stood
10 to 0.
Coon's pretty cross throw from deep
field was the soldier teams only goal
from a sCrimmage play, and was one of
the features of the game. For the as
sociation the playing of James, Mueller,
Bateman. and Ellis was noteworthy.
