four stolen bases, all of which made
the bluff good.
In the closing innings Bouckart, the
catcher, was badly injured, and Gro

where he acquitted himself nobly.
After the game Grogan was hurried

 ohasers of the. December delivery, one of the leaders, It is said, having bought in the neighborhood of 1,500,000 bush- els. There was practically no demand for cash wheat here except by elevat- or concerns.
 Liauidation of the December delivery was the feature of trade in the corn market. This selling caused decline of nearly one cent in that delivery and had a weakening effect on the market in general. A cold wave in the corn belt and a continued slack demand for the cash grain by shippers were addt- sample tables demand was reported slow and offerings liberal, which re- suited in a decline of 1-2@3-4c fin prices. Deliveries today on December contracts were 2e0,000 bushels. The market closed easy with prices 1-4G higher to 3-S@1-4 Tower.
