Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Dec 30.-An easier feeling was
manifested in the wheat pit at the start owing
to easier cables. large receipts and a general
disposition on the part of local traders to take
profits Considerable wheat came out the first
hour and the market became quite weak. May
declining TO S39sc after opening 1sdAc lower
at sfaS41sc On rumors that the leading long
was buying freely many Of the early sellers
turned buyers. and there were additional pur-
chases TO even up over the holidays. Sensa-
tfoaal war rumors were circulated and prices
advanced rapidly. May sold up to S4&sc.
reaction occurred during the last half hour
but the close was firm. with May at S4Ac
War news furnished the lever for bulls in
the corn pit to boost prices a little higher. The
feature in trading was the selling Of about a
quarter OF . million bushels Of May by a
rror1inenf provision house. Closing prices were
strong May opened unchanged to lsc higher,

Oats were easy. May closed shade lower

caused a good demand for provisions. There
was an unusually good demand for May pork

Wheat and Other Grains.

WHEAT-Argentine cables reported that
damage by the recent frost is becoming appar-
ent and that crop estimates are being reduced.
Otherwise there is nothing new from abroad
Chicago declined from size TO S39sc and
recovered to S4Ac. At the opening better
receipts and dull cables encouraged the bear
sentiment and the market weakened but light
offerings and the report that war between
Russia and Japan was inevitable caused re-
action. very small export demand was re-
ported by New York
In this market futures were lower. but the
cash grain was steady and unchanged

Hay and FecdStnfS.

Dealers are talking of a contemplated ad-
vance in Bran Immediately after the turn OF
the year, as the market is lightly stocked and
very strong. Mddlings continue firm.
Hay rules hrm from causes already men,
toned. Dry weather Is still pronounced fac
tor though a coed rain might weaken the situ-
alton. The circular of Somers q Co. says:
Although shipments of Hay have been un-
usually light during the past week yet they
are heavy enough TO supply all present de-
mands. The total for the week ending to-day
amounts TO but 1850 tens. in comparison with
2250 tons for the preceding week. Prices are
frmer. although no increase over the list given
last week can be noted, nor is one expected
until after January l.. Business, as rule,
improves after the holidays are over. and now
that the Government order for Hay will be
placed here prices should have a strong up
ward tendency. A comparison of the bids sub
shows that we are from 81 to 81 per ton lower
than they The bids of the San Francisco
dealers No I wheat Hay ranged from $17 TO
S21 per ton. while those OF the northern people
ranged from S2l on Puget Sound Hay TO $2S
on best Washington timothy. The prices sub
mitted by the northern people confirm our be-
LIEF that they have none too much Hay on hand
and that they Will probably call upon us again
for Hay as they did last season. Taking the
situation in its entirety. we can see no reason
why Hay should net advance to what NAV be
considered extreme figures.
Rain Is needed in nearly all the Hay soc
tions at present and growers are beginning to
wonder il we are TO have a dry year. Grain
is in a healthy condition. however and Ii is
hoped that the needed showers viii come soon
Wheat Hay constitutes the bulk Of the pres
ent arrivals, with tame oat Hay and alfalfa
still in light demand"

Iroquo1s May Produce Athletes.

The trim little L. S. tug Iroquois ly-
ing at the Honolulu Naval dock, may
soon be equipped with complete ath-
letic outfit. 1t is the present plan of
the naval authorities to equip all yes
sells on the active list with such out
fits, and the Iroquois will come in for
her share. Lieuts. Harry George and
Walter s. Crosby, both of the Navy.
have been appointed a committee to
recommend such apparatus as shall
seem most suitable for athletic ipur-
among the enlisted men of the SER
rotary of the Navy, like his immediate
predecessor, Mr.. Long, is strongly in
favor OF encouraging athletic sports
among the enlisted men of the Ser
vice, and his views are in strict accord
with those OF many officers of high
rank who have considered the cues
ton. Whatever tends to keep men in
sound physical condition by encourage
ing their interest in rational athletics
and providing proper apparatus there
for, is directly in the interest OF higher
efficiency and consequently a wise in
agree that the physical condition of
the enlisted force of the Navy IS thor
oushly excellent and as it is the policy
of Secretary Moody to keep 1t so, his
plan to provide all fighting ships with
complete outfits of athletic apparatus is
in every way comEendable.
