NO FURTHER REDUCTION TODAY DESPITE

Altho prices went to new low points again
today, for the options and the cash article -four
prices did not follow. Millers said that wheat
was close to basis low enough to warrant
sanother 1O-cent> reduction, but that they were
disposed to wait until Monday. If the market
settles around present prices or goes lower ON
Monday, flour will be marked down, but other
wise no shading Of the list will be made. De-
maud is Just fair.

Farmers hands and invisible

ssEsz March NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. H3, 900, 900
ts'This is the largest supply of wheat the Unit
ed States farms ever held March /. We regard
the total as bar to bull operations at the
present time, and we think wheat will sell
much lower This is 1000, 900 more than the
government farm reserve year ago. On the
basis of the government estimate Of yield last
Year, its farm reserves should be much larger
than the above"
The market continued its downward course
and showed no rallying power at all. Rumor is
persistent Of a long line Of wheat held In the
east, and showing big loss, but is still intact.
Even those who are believers in wheat at pres
ent prices and think it legtimately worth the
money are afraid of the speculative situat ion
tits the talk that the line aggregates several
million bushels in May and July each, and that
fits question whether the men who hold it.
and who can afford to carry 1t. and can find the
money readily enough, will do it. or whether
they will In time become disguised and throw
the market. 1t may be that the quantity held
fsexaggerated. 1t is said. however that the
same wheat that was talked of as being men
see to the market when prices here were no
around SIC and Sc is still held intact. and
nov shows, naturally, very heavy loss. This is
the. great uncertainty. These holders may feel
That eventually their property will be worth
what they paid for it and more. and should any
thing come along to indicate lowering of the
condition of the winter wheat they will posi-
Aly. put up the money and stand pat for long
phil On the other hand, If the winter wheat
reports continue free from sensa tional dam
ageg news ns at present, and the government re-
pofl soon to come shows the large surplus ex-
peeted. they will be hanging on against very
aayerse conditions This Is really the feature of
the market at present It is not as much
whether or not wheat IS really worth 7sc, as
many believe 1t is, but rather a speculative con
sideraton as to the Immediate course Of prices
nthese long holders decide to sell out prices
might temporarily go much lower than legitimate
conditions warrant.

BAND AGAINST JUDO.
Commandment of Naval Academy Will
Abolish Japanese Wrestling.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.-Jiudo, the
Japanese style of wrestling. will be
abolished from the Naval academy if
Rear Admiral Sands, the commandant
of the academy, is permitted to have
mis- way.
The testimony of Admiral Sands be-
fore the house committee OH naval af-
fairs which has just been made public,
shows that he thiMl;s but little Of the
style of wrestling popularized by The
presidents attitude toward it.
When asked by members OF t." com
mittee what he believed the value Of
Judo 80 be Admiral Sands replied:
Il expect to make an adverse report
upon the japanese method when | am
called upon to act. With my present
light | should report against this par
ticular kind of wrestling. ! do not
think the Japanese method is i'll any
way preferable to ours. A mar is more
apt to be injured or abused. | think 1t
is a trick. | think you a injure a man
more seriously. and the more you know
about it the more temptation there is to
injure an adversary, and | do not him
that intentional injury is the spirit Of
sports"
Admiral Sands said the instructions
in boxing has nothing to do with any
predisposition to lighting ut the acad-
envy and that hereafter there will be no
fist fights at Annapolis.
