SHARP DECLINE
 SCORED IN WHEAT Heavy Receipts Is the Principal
 Cause of Weakness EARLY RALLY OF NO AVAIL Large Movement of Corn in the Coun- try Starts Prices on the Down
 Grade--oats and Provisions
 Also Close Lower.
EARLY RALLY OF NO AVAIL

Chicago, January 18.-Grafn and pro- visions declined in price here today, the market being nervous in all the pits Wheat led the downward march of the grains, closing from sse to 11sc lower than yesterday The liquidation in provisions left prices at the close from 1oc to 171sc lower than yesterday.
 Frightened longs. scared into unload ing by large receipts and a poor de- mand for cash wheat, crowded the pit. The range for the day was from 5sc to 11kc for May, showing the greatest activ- ity and making the greatest descent. Be- fore the session was well advanced a substantial rally was attempted which, however, only brought out still larger run of grain, pushing prices still lower May fell off to s1.0SB from a high record for the day of $110ss. The close was weak at practically the low points of the day with May bc to 1kc below yesterdays finale.
 larger country movement of corn helped to put prices for that grain on the down grade. The weakness was aug mented by light demand for cash corn As in the wheat pit longs curtailed their holdings. The range for the day was from %c to 1c. Hay fell off to 671k0 s7ssc from 6sssc and closed on the low point. T@1c lower than yesterdays final figures. Other futures closed in about the same relative position.
 Trade in oats followed the general course of the other grains although the range was narrower. Shorts and ele- vator interests stepped in at the low points and took large quantities of the offerings. The range was ssG1sc.
 Weakness in grain had depressing effect in provisions although the volume of trade was not large. Continued light runs of live hogs at the principal pack ing centers were insufficient to bolster the market but on momentary rallies prices rose slightly above the previous close. At the end of today's session pork as compared with yesterdays finals ranged from 16G171sc lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Contestants for Championship Dance is
HouFs. Police stop the Sport

San Francisco, March 20.-Polict
stopped the worlds championship
marathon dance here this afternoon
after six of the contestants had been
dancing fifteen hours and six minutes,
The old record was fourteen hours
and f~orty-tWo minutes. A protest
arose froLl the 5000 spectators and
q riot was prevented only by the de-
termined manner in which the officers
cleared the platform.
Doctors who were in attendance
advised the police that further physi-
cal exertion on the part of the dan
GERS might result fatally. Seven
couples entered the contest and FIVE
couples finished.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture of the performance was the
of Benjamin A. West, fifty
five years old. Although at times
the night it seemed that his
to continue was ~torturing
he waved his seconds aside and
kept it up. Vests partner was a
sixteen-year-old girl.

The evil of frequent enforcement of
