Liverpool, Dec. 30.-The wheat mar
ket at start was firm with prices about
half higher. being influenced by the
strong American and Winnipeg mar
kets yesterday and further covering by
shorts. Following the opening the un-
dertone became heavy under realizing

ments this week as we'll as increased
shipments from India and Australia
and forecast of continued liberal ship
ments from Russia. There was gen.
orally, a smaller inquiry for Argentine
wheat and holders are less firm. Dur
ing the morning prices eased "a to "
from the opening, but toward mid day
shorts again became nervous, owing to
the fears of a further advance in
America and prices advanced "a to a
from the low and at this time were "a

penny advance was in December which

Corn-Market was easier at the
start and unchanged TO "A lower with
the pressure in plate grade. Following
the opening there was a further de-
cline of Il with the undertone heavy.
Selling was idnuced by a private re-

Melvin Hearl the Star.

The participants in the public
school tournament at the Y NJ c. A,
Fargo, this morning, were ten boys
from the Third Ward school of Moor
head. While the young athletes did
not fracture any home, or international
records they acquitted themselves fair
ly well, taking all things into consid-
Grafton. In the athletic events the
total number of points made was 6,118
and in aquatics 67s points, both under
the figures made by the boys from the
Sharp school on Tuesday. Melvin
Hearl was the star performer in to-
days events. 1t Is said that the tourn-
ament has aroused considerable en-
thusiasm, and already the lads have
begun asking questions about muscle
developing foods and other ways and
means for making them fit to enter for
supremacy in heroulean feats.

Elhicago--Wheat - Liverpool cables
we're %015 higher early, but later In
the day the whole advance was lost
and the market closed unchanged from
yesterday, owing to much larger ship
ments from the Argentine, Australia
and India, and prospects for liberal
worlds shipments for the week. Rain
or snow has greatly benefited the
wiFter wheat crop. In the northern
part of the belt the crop is well COW
cred with snow. The market after
opening easier on the disappointing
Liverpool cables, later advanced about
1so per bushel on buying by local
bulls, also on support from the leading
longs. However, on the advance there
was considerable wheat for sale, and
1t looks as though the big longs were
trying to liquidate, and late in the
day the market suffered "a sharp
break. we can see nothing in the
situation to change our opinion, and
still believe in the absence of cash
demand there is nothing in the stu
alton to warrant any permanent ad-
vance.
