BULLS HAVE ADVANTAGE
OF WEEKS ID

Chicago. Jan. 5.-Uncertainty which
resulted from a%bolishing all priority
orders on the railroads gave the bulls
an advantage this week in the corn
market. Compared with a week ago,
prices this morning were up So to
ga cents. Oats were unchanged to
1 1-S cents higher, and provisions
down Z to ~ cents. 81
1t appeared the immediate effect Of
withdrawing preference which had
been accorded to grain would be at
least a temporary slowness in the
movement of corn from first hands.
Rural offerings continued light and
difficulty in getting cars for. shipments
from country elevators remained in
evidence, although better traffic con-
ditions were looked for soon.
Peace gossip meanwhile made no
Roadway as a bearish factor except
in the early part of the week before
word came that the Russians had as
sumed an attitude Of defiance.
Highest prices yet this season were
reached in the oats, market. Export
buying was largely responsible, des-
| pite a subsequent apparent lull in sea-
board demand. - ts@e ~, ~ y

Pu.hban, Newest OF
:. Sports, Is Becoming
! Popular In America

y Pushbaii. the youngest of sports.
has become increasingly popular and
is now played in England and Cam
ada as we'll as in Uncle Sans land,
where it originated. New England
was the scene of the first pushball
contest, and it is said the first push
ball was made in Newton, Mass, in
1894.
The first real pushball contest was
played in New York fifteen years ago.
November %. 1902. The regulation
pushball was not procurable for this
contest. and a canvas ball filled with
hay was used. The pushball Of the
regular type is the largest and cost
lest ball used in any game. 1t is six
feet in diameter and a good n costs
in the neighborhSod of $500.
Even at thai apparently excessive
price it is said there is no big proht
for the makers. English cowhide
leather is used for the outside cover
ing and the score of strips necessar-
lily are sewed by hand. Each strip
is about fifty feet long and half a
dozen hides are required to get the
leather for one ball. 1t takes an eX-
pert workman two weeks to sew the
material together.
: The most expensive rubber has to
be used for the bladder. The rubber
Is cut into strips n cemented to-
gether in the shape of a globe. ex-
actly fitting the leather covering
when inflated. The cover will last
for many years, but the bladder has
to be renewed. at a cost Of $3.50, ev-
cry two or three years.
Pushball is played both indoors and
on a field similar to a football grid
iron. A goal occupies each end of
the field. and it is the endeavor of
the opposing teams to push the ball
through the enemy's goal.
Although originating on this side
Of the Atlantic. pushball is more pop
ular in England than in America. The
Britishers have introduced an inno-
walton whereby the players are on
horseback.

Twenty bushels of wheat. forty

Andy Gill now has the team lined

is only a temporary lineup, but it is
undoubtedly one that will stand the
