light and chiefly Of a professional char
acter during the remainder Of the ses-
sion. Bears were unable to do anything
with the market, although they kept feel

heavy rains we'll scattered over the west

the market. The closing was steady at a

demand at all important points in the
belt The bullish government reports of
Monday helped the long side only for a

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, October 9-Wheat prices on
the board of trade were inclined to sag
today, owing to weakness at foreign grain
centers and to favorable weather in this
country for the fall-sown crop. Final quo
tations showed net losses of q shade to
Ssc. Corn and oats were also heavy, but
provisions were firm.
Trading in the wheat pit throughout the
day was exceedingly quiet The tendency
of prices was downward and the range in
all deliveries was confined within a half
cent News of the day was generally of a
bearish nature. The December delivery
during the day sold between 1.O1s4 and
1.O2A. The market closed easy and only
trif1e above the lowest point, with De-
cember at 1.Ol1sa1.02.
The late bulge In corn prices yesterday
prompted considerable selling Of corn
throughout the entire day. An official pre-
diction of unsettled weather for the
greater portion of the corn belt failed to
weak with prices &c to ssa1zc lower.
Oats showed relative firmness compared
with the corn market, buying of large
line of the December delivery by promi-
nent commission house having ten
dency to steady the market. Trading in
general was dull The market closed
steady with prices unchanged to hc lower.
Provisions were firm. although the vol
ume of trading was small. Prices at the
close were SC lower to 71ac higher.

WILL RETAIN BASKET BALL.
Georgetown Decides to Play Indoor
Game Under Minor Association.

Despite many rumors to the contrary,
Georgetown will again put a basket ball
quint in the field Of intercollegiate COM
petition. statement to this effect has
been made by those in charge Of the
athletics at the Hilltop school. and 1t has
been confirmed by the activity of Capt.
elect Collifiower. who Is already scouting
around for material and a suitable floor
to hold the battles on. A schedule is
now in the cour-e of formation. many
games being already definitely settled and
others depending on future negotiations
The course to be followed in financing
the team will very likely be modelled after
the plan lately adopted at the big eastern
universities where basket ball is gov
erned by minor sports athletic associa-
ton. A committee of students will be
designated Shy the members Of the execu-
tive council Of the general association and
upon this committee will fall the duties
usually accruing to the manager of a
varsity team. 1t will be up to the mem
bers Of 1t to see that funds are raised
for meeting all expenses. and any deficit
will necessarily be charged up to the
minor associations treasurer. In this way
the sport will be strictly university af-
fair and at the same time there will be
sufficient assurance that the seasons will
not always end with the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger.
Just who Will receive the commission to
manage the quint is a conundrum that
has not as yet been solved. Because the
most of the goal-tossers are students in
the law school it Is believed that the
selection will be made at the downtown
department. However. 1t Is a conceded
fact that a collegian at the head Of at
fairs would be a great boon in more ways
than one. and hence one of the students
In the arts department may finally land
the honor.
Already many stars Of great magnitude
have expressed their intention Of joining
the squad, and when Prof. Joyce of Ryan

will be no less than a score Of experienced
candidates trying for positions. First
among these will be Capt Collifower. his
brother George, ex-Capt. Rice, Schlosser.
Downey, Goggins. Kingsley and Cogan.
all Of whom were members Of last win
ters squad. With this speedy aggregation
for a nucleus, the coach should find it
easy to get together a wel-working and
fast-playing quint. even though none Of
the new ones prove of sufficient caliber
to make good.
