Grain Review

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Rains in Argentina
gave an advantage today to the bears
in wheat. Although the consequent
break in prices was the signal for re-
newed buying. which caused sharp
upturn in the market. the strength
failed to last Opening prices which
ranged from the same as yesterdays
finish to INC lower with December and
May both at $1.79 to $3.50 were followed
by little further sag. then temporary
bulge, with a subsequent fresh setback
Bear aggressiveness increased later,
especially after word came of a big
drop in prices at Beunos Aires just
before the close however liberal export
business was reported and quick rally
ensued. The finish was unsettled at the
same as yesterdays latest figures to 1ac
higher with December at $1.S01a to
$1.S0A and May at $1.S0A @1.s0A.
Corn weakened with wheat After
opening unchanged to &c lower. the
market showed some capacity to recov-
err but not relatively so much as wheat
Fine weather and enlarged country
offerings prevented corn from making
as good a late upturn as wheat. The
close was nervous at kc to &c net de-
cline.
Oats were directly depressed to some
extent by the Argentine rains but for
the most part prices were governed
chilly by the action Of other grain.
Lower quotations on hogs pulled
down provisions. Selling. however was
not heavy.

Courier).-Get the Gophers" is the
one idea Of every Hawkeye supporter.
This has become the byword of the
campus. Following this saying comes
the query. Can it be done" and this
indeed is the problem Coach Jones is
facing. Every possible effort is being
put forth by the Iowa mentor to whip

evening. Rain. muddy fields, and 9TH
er adverse conditions have not stopped
scrimmage. the ghost ball and the arc
lights somewhat overcoming the ele-
ments. The first chalk talk of the
year was held Wednesday evening. in
which the Minnesota plays were dis.
cussed. Jones has designed system
of defense to meet the famous Mime
sofa shift. and the entire squad Is
working on it. Utmost secrecy is
preventing this defense form leaking
out, no reporters. and no visitors of
any kind being allowed on the field. 1t
is understood though that most Of the
defensive work will fall upon the
guards and fullback. Scott. Blocker,
and Van Pelt are alternating at full
and being given much personal atten-
ton in this capacity.
Considerable shifting has taken
place this week. Becker was tried at
right tackle, but Wyland could not
cover the pivot position in creditable
manner. Kelley displaced Grub at
guard while kriz is giving Bowelsby

Iowa eleven is the ends. Triplett and
Laun are filing these positions in a
good manner, but no good substitutes
can be found Won Lackum is out for
most of the season with wrenched
shoulder, Leighton was recalled to the
border and Coach Jones Is seriously
handicapped in this respect. Reed
and Barber. both weighing less than
