ARE VERY STEADY
VARIOUS INFLUENCES WORK
HOWEVER, AND CHANGES
ARE NOT VERY GREAT.

Chicago. Dec. 16.-Wheat prices to-
day showed unusual steadlness. "A
hardening tendency manifested at hrst
was in sympathy with higher cables
but the effect soon wore off as the main
influence across the Atlantic was the
bullish government crop report from
Washington Favorable reports on
field conditions in the domestic belt
gave some advantage later to the bears.
After opening Is off to Nc up, the mar
ket declined moderately all around ana
then held at the same as last night to

The close was steady at - to &c net
decline.
Cold weather demand from feeders
put a little tirmness into corn. Besides
rural offerings were light. The opening,
which varied from Nc decline to Nc
advance, was followed by prices all
around slightly above yesterdays close.
The close was steady but Is to nc
lower.
Oats averaged slightly frmer with
corn Trade was chiefly between pit
Spectators.
Higher quotations for hogs carried
provisions upgrade at the outset After
ward the market sagged owing to lack
of demand.

be no football game between the Uni
versity of Chicago and the University
of Iowa next year was made definite
Tuesday when a message from Iowa
City stated that the athletic board
there had abandoned the idea of play
ing Stages team. The report was as
follows:
The board of control of athletics at
Iowa announced definitely that Iowa
and Chicago, as recently rumored, will
not meet on the gridiron in 1915, as =

penses are increasing. The
profit margin is small.
The successful retailer has
got to make every ounce of
energy count.
He must take advantage of
every legitimate avenue of
service.
For this reason shrewd re-
tailers are linking the location
Of their store to the manufac-
turers newspaper advertising.
When the manufacturer ad-
veruses a standard product in
the daily newspapers, they
back up the demand by show
ing the goods and getting the

was expected to show over 900.00OO0
blu, but the final returns made the yield
about 20.O0O,0OO blu below the popular
guess. Cash handlers say it is easier to
sell wheat for export than to buy it in
the country. Seaboard exporters are
selling cargo lots. Four governments
have been in the market as large buy
ers the last few days. France taking
hold freely. Some of the smaller foreign
countries are in line with present mar
ket conditions and prices. A point made
by one of the leading bulls last night
was that over 100000 bu will be
shipped out of Chicago all rail this
month. This will materially reduce
stocks, which are only little over e.
100000 bu. December is showing tight
ness and was 4c under May last night.
The only thing the bears have to pre-
sent was the large visible supply and
the high prices and the light trade.
