Haskell Was Easy.

Houston, Tex, Nov. 5.-The Rice
institute eleven smothered the Has
kell Indians under a 55 to 10 score
here Saturday in a hard fought game.
The Rice team made good use of the
first two periods, scoring five touch
downs before the whistle ended the
half. In the latter periods the Indians
opened up with forward passes that
threatened disaster for the Rice team.
Stars of the game were Bell and
Lindsey for Rice and the two Muir
dock brothers for the Indians.

Sheep-The course Of the lamb market on
early rounds was much like Thursdays
Packers started out bidding quite a little
lower on all kinds but made their first
loads Of clipped western lambs at s16.s5 and
1885.
Unable to get bids on spring lambs, which
made up . big part OF the run. up TO yes
terday's levels. sellers hung on, but Instead
of raising their early offers packers later
lowered them. and up to midday four cars
of California spring lambs remained in the
pens under sharply lower offers. In fact
some Of them that were offered to packers
q flat quarter lower than yesterday were
refused. Packers said the weakness was
mainly due to the fact that prices have been
so much higher than eastern mutton trade
conditions warrant, but that the break to-
day would not have been so severe had
sellers not held onto their stuff so long that
buyers were forced to let their killing
gangs CO.
No old sheep of any kind were herd. Com
pared with week ago closing sales OF both
wooled and clipped lambs are strong to IL
anything a little higher. Tops show quite
a little higher. Tops shoY quite a little lad-
vance, but most of this Is due TO improved
quality. Up to yesterday spring lambs were
fully half a dollar above last weeks close.
but the way buyers were acting today II
looked as though most IL not all this ad- :
vance might be lost Old sheep have been
too scarce to really make market, but are

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Estimate Of Heavy Spring Wheat Yield Has
RenrIsh Effncl nn Mheni Trading.


Chicago, ILL.,, May ?5,-Estimates that tho
combined domestic and spring crop Yield OF
wheat this season would be 700 0oo, 900 bush
els, and thus surpass the 1915 total, had a
hearish effect on the market today Prices

Other staples, too, suffered losses--corn, Nc
TO ave, oats ho to &c and provisions
lave to i0c.
Downward swings in wheat values began
soon after the market opened, During the
initial trading prices showed a temporary
disposition to rally from the declines which
had resulted from false rumors OF a. naval
victory, but the existing restrictions on new
buying quickly proved TO be more than off
set. Attention then turned more and more
to the excellent crop outlook, and especially
to advlces showing Improvement In the win-
ter wheat region. The Kansas state report
was bulllsh, but did not agree with private
reports and was generally ignored.
Interest continued keen In regard TO hAr-
vest conditions for the new wheat crop. Ac-
cording to the best information at hand.

places on which early cutting will be done

BEEF STEERS

Hogs-Today's hog receipts were the
ttghtest OF the week TO date. and were Just
fair for q Friday, ninety six cars or about
7,l00 head, being reported In. The weeks
total OF $3.50 head Is 1900 larger than
q week ago, $500 heavier than two weeks
ago and an increase OF nearly 5000 over
the corresponding days last year.
Prices again showed q lower tendency and
the undertone was weak, though on the big
end Of the offerings there was no such de-
cline as that registered yesterday and the
day before. On opening rounds shippers,
anticipating that light receipts would have
a STRENGTHENING tendency, paid prices that
were fully steady to. II anything. little
higher.
Packers. however. after making few
steady purchases. slipped on their early bids
and later on when bulk of the offerings
was cashed 1t was at figures that as a
general thing were steady TO nickel lower.
Despite the moderate size Of supplies Of
ferings seemed to be larger than require
ments and the close was slow at the days
lowest prices. At noon there were still
around a dozen loads unsold, The best bids
sellers could get on these were fully 10c
lower than yesterdays average trade.
/ Up to the close the market was steady to
Sc lower Earlier sales were largely made
at $15.4e616.7s, and a top of s1bs0 was
made on good heavies. These figures are
not far from quarter lower than the close
of last week.

Modified Censorship
Section is Drafted

Washington, May 25.-Conferees
en- the espionage bill have drawn
so-called modified newspaper CENSOR
ship section, which will be brought
before congress with the influence of
the administration for inclusion in the
pending bill. 1t must be accepted by
both houses to become part Of the
bin.
The wording OF the new section
confines prohibited publication ex-
clusively to military information and
retains the provision that jury shall
decide whether published information
is useful to the enemy. 1t is consid-
cred a much more liberal section than
others previously proposed by the adj
ministration.
The conferees also agreed on the
senate amendment to empower the
president to declare export embar-
goes. 1t is designed to prevent ship
ments of supplies TO Germany
through neutrals. The agreements
will be formally presented tomorrow.
