Every one. including tho city

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-United States gov.
eminent offers to sell wheat to domestic
millers had an evident bearish effect at
times today on corn, especially after re-
ports attracted attention that the flour
market was glutted. Prices closed uu-
settled, half lower to cent advance, with
Febraury 1.s3ih to si33%, and $1.2s% to
l.2Sh. Oats opened u off to q up,
and provisions varied from &c decline to
75c gain.
Corn started weak, then suddenly
bulged, and later underwent setbacks
anew. The downturn at the opening ap-
peared 20 be due almost altogether to the
action Of the government regarding
wheat. In addition to excessive flour
stocks, the late bearish factors included
virtually settlement OF the Argentine
strike and the fact that the United States
shipping board had released all requisi-
toned vessels except these in the service
Of the American army.
Oats simply followed corn.
Provisions average higher owing largely
TO firmness Of the hog. market and to the

MAJOR And MINOR
LEAGUES BREAK
OFF RELATIONS
National Agreement ReSCind-
ed After Stormy Meeting;
System Of Drafting
Players Abolished.

New York, Jan. l6.-The maiur
and minor base ball leagues, parties
to the national agreement, the foun.
dation of the professional end of the
national sport, broke relations after
a stormy meeting here tonight.
The magma charta of organized
base ball was, hguratively speaking
torn to pieces, and the two great
combinations will in the future be
bound together by an elastic agree.
ment, which will permit them to
operate with comparative indepen.
dence.
No prediction was made as to
what effect Gonight's proceedings
will have on the professional game
and the players, but leaders of both
leagues protested to be highly salts
fed with the sensational turn affairs
had taken when temporary arrange.
ments were completed shortly before
midnight.
VIII Respect Rights.
Under the tentative agreement
made tonight major and minor lea.
CUES are to respect the contractual
territorial and reservation rights oil
each other, with the proviso that nc
minor league club shall claim the
right to more players at any time
than the maximum roster allowed
to clubs in the major leagues. Dur
ing the playing season, this would
equal q players.
The only way in which the major
league clubs can obtain players from
the minors will be by direct pur-
chase.
The interests of the major league.
in the framing of this new working
arrangement have been entrusted to
the national commission and the
minor league organization has &C.
cepted committee of seven to re-
present It in the SANE manner as
follows:
John F. Powers, Los Angeles; A
7. Timme. Milwaukee; E. ]. Hanion
Sioux Cityj Walter Morris, Fort
Worth, Tex; Lieut. Dave L. Fultz.
New York; M. H. Sexton, Little
Rock, and Secretary ]. H. Farrell
Auburn, N. Y.
To Reorganize Commission.
After the meeting John A. Held
Ter, president of the National league
announced he had appointed Presi.
dent Baker of the Philadelphia cluh
and Vice President Cheech Of the
Chicago club the national league
committee of two to aid in the selec-
ton of a new chairman of the ma
tional commission.
The 10 club owners of the two
major leagues went on record
as favoring retention OF the three
man commission, but provision was
made for the election Of new chair
man in the place of Garry Herr
mann.
Progress was reported in the d.
rection Of closer business and play
ing agreements between the big lea
que combinations. The l40-game
schedule was adopted for both the
National and American league and
the latter announced that its playing
dates would be published Tuesday,
January 81. A no-recall-of-waiver
rule was adopted by the American
league similar to that adopted by
the Nationals yesterday, and the rule
was also made binding as far ais in
ter-league waivers were concerned.
The National commission was in
sstructed to prepare a new system
for distribution of world series
money to the players Of the compel
ing clubs and submit its findings 10
the leagues at a later date for ap-
proval. The National league also
adopted 2l-player limit similar TO
that in vogue in the American.
