MARKET
OPENS LOWER
SELLING PRESSURE INDUCED BY
HEAVY SHIPMENTS AND
BIG RECEIPTS.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 16.-Larger world
shipments than expected put the wheat
market today under considerable sell
ing pressure. Forwardings Of especially
heavy shipments We're counted upon
from Argentina and from Australia.
Big receipts at points northwest or
Chicago acted, too, as handicap Tor
the bulls. Minneapolis alone was cred
tied with 367 cars as compared with
218 on the corresponding day a year
ago. Moreover, the bearish effect Of the
ending Of the Argentine railroad strike
had further emphasis from messages
confirming the statements that work
had been resumed. Opening prices
were * to 5s@A lower May started at
s1,01A tosl.O1A drop OF q v TO
vs. to q but rallied to $1.01 ".
\ An additional decline ensued but tfs
market rallied in consequences of iu-
creasing reports as to unfavorable
condition of winter wheat. The close
was firm with May $1.01as @1.01k, a
net loss Of nc.
Slow spring demand made corn easy
and there was similar Influence as
result Of heavy movement of cars oW-
ing to mild weather May opened h@M
to 4 rs down at 6sA to 68A and re-
acted to 68A @6S9sc.
Good demand southwest and south
east kept the market steady most OF
the day. The close was firm at 61h @
61Ac for May, a decline of Nc net.
Commission houses We're fair buyers
OF oats and gave the market a relative
ly steady tone. May started unchanged
to " off at 523s to 52A and rose to 52k
@52Kc.
Depression ruled provisions. Initial
sales were shade to TIC lower with
May $16.07h to s16.10 for pork, $9.12k
to 1918 for lard and $S.72h for ribs

WORMH|OUOT IS
BACK IN GAME.
WILL AGAIN ENTER RANKS OF
RED AND WHITE-LEAvE FOR
MUscATiNE TODAY.

a Henry Wormhoudt who was thought
to have received an injury to his
wrist that would keep him out OF the
game for the rest of the season, IS
back in the basket tossing game IN
the ranks Of the red and white quintet.
His injury did not prove as serious as
first reported by the attending physl
clan and yesterday evening It was
decided that his wrist was In fit condl-
ton to enter the game again, with
Wormhoudt back in the harness, the
0. H. S. team has been materially
strengthened and the prospects for
defeating Muscatine are brighter than
ever. Henry's weight and size give
him the advantage in the safety posi-
ton and Ottumwa's goal will be much
safer now.
q The six men, Schafer, Nevin, Lester,
Wormhoudt, Lodwick and Lynch left
this morning on the Rock Island at
6:40 o'clock on their way to Musca-
tine where the big battle Is on tonight.
Ottumwa lost to the Pearl City tossers
by two points here and it was thought
that the championship was gone. But
later developments have proven that
Ottumwa has a great chance Of wal
Looping Muscatine tonight and thus
take new hold on the title. Every
man on the team is confident of vic,
tory, Coach Eigenmann stating that
Ottumwa will take the big tally by
from eight to ten points. II Musca'
tine Is defeated and Wilton, the dark
horse, given like dose here in March
the mythical rag belongs to "weuns. "
The game with Grinnell high school
will be played next Saturday afternoon
instead of evening. Grinnell's show
ing has not been the best but she
may give the locals tough run.
