LONDON, Sept. 2i-Money was plentiful
on the market today and discounts were
easy in sympathy. With the settlement.
commencing, business on the Stock eN-
change was moderate and prices generally
were easier. CoRsols and home rails lacked
support. Copper shares weakened with
Americans. but KaffiIs. lamon shares
and foreigners were firm and dearer. Dur
was tight with moderate fluctuations
Prices at noon ranged from 4 point higher
20 = lower Than yesterdays New York
closing. The belief that dearer money in
New York would induce liquidation caused
offerings here. New York sent support In
the afternoon especially OF United States
steel, but the market jagged and the close
was uncertain.

TENDER by a leading long caused general
weakness In the wheat market here today,
final quotations showing net losses OF nW
iRc to lac. Corn and oats also closed weak,
but provisions were strong.
The chief factor contributing to the un-
loading OF the wheat line was said to have
been the continued enormous northwestern
receipts and the falling off In demand for
the cash grain In that section. The report
of a st. Louis trade Journal indicating
prospects for a full acreage Of winter wheat
in this country and q decline OF nearly &c
In cash prices at Kansas City further aug
mented the weakness. During the day
September sold between s1.031S and u.ol
while December ranged betv cen 96Sc and
S9lRc. The close was weak, with September
at N.Ol& and December at 9S1c.
Despite low temperature throughout the
corn belt, the market for corn was ex-
tremely weak all Gay, because of the free
selling by leading cash interests. The mar.
ket closed at the lowest point at net de-
cllnes of lie to lhQ1Ac.
Oats prices at the close were off Nc to sc.
Provisions were strong ali day and prices
at the close were unchanged to 10c higher.

What brood mare she ought to make.
Czarevna, 2:07A, champion Syear-

her for a show horse.

Bismarck will undoubtedly be a can
didate for dates for a June race meet

rapidly to the front in the light har-

be able to pull off a fine meeting.

did quite a stroke of business at the
races, but when the boys showed up
for their money in the evening he was
conspicuous for his absence.

/ meeting at this stage Of the game
would disapoint all lovers Of the sport
throughout the state. But II must be
said that the terms upon which 1t has
been proposed to play the "A. G.. men
are such as no other agricultural school
in the country meets. The twelve
weeks rule which shut out first year
men does not hold for other state in
sritutions Of this character The aim
Of the whole matter, at both ends Of the
line, has been to shut out the ringer.
With this end obtained, the twelve
weeks rule can have but one possible
function and that Is to place the A. G..
at decided disadvantage to any OPP
ponent drawing the great body of its
students directly into the freshman
classes. 1t is still hoped and believed
that this matter will be settled on a
basis of entire fair play, and that the
two schools will meet on a plane that
will allow each to develop the best
team possible with it's resources at
hand.
1t is well to speak plainly. The ag-
ricultural college, largest or second
largest in the United States in the
number Of short course men, is among
the smallest in point of numbers of
four year students. 1t is, like the uni
versity, coeducational. This further
restricts the body from which material
may be gathered for a team. The
farm husbandry and power machinery
courses begin Oct. Is, with the foot
ball season we'll advanced. The only
source from which the school may ex-
pect to draw flrst-class football mater
ial, outside it's four-year schedule, is
that Of the pharmacy students. Wheth-
er or not our policy of pushing the
three-year short schedule courses is
a good thing for the state and for the
institution, Is wholly beside the point.
The facts are as stated, and ruling
that may be applied to an institution
larger in number of four-year students
cannot be applied to a smaller school
without working hardship to that
school which practically debars il from
participation in athletic contests that
demand the rigid selection and wide
range Of choice that is called for in
the formation of creditable football
team.
