CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Dec. 214-Unfavorable crop conditions in the southwest and prospects 1f immediate government purchasing for Russian relief gave the grain market to- lay decided lift. Wheat finished strong. 3-4 to 5-Sc net higher, with May l.16 1-4 to 1.16 3-8 and July 1.05 6-S to 1.o5 1-2. Corn gained S-S to 0-S. and oats 1-4@3-8 to 5-S@S-4. tn provisions the close was unchanged 60 cents up.
 liter q nesitant start, wheat prices made ready response to increased buy ing which appeared to be due chiefly at first 10 cold weather and to fears that lack of snow protection in the south west might bring about crop damage some buying was also ascribed to clos ing Of spreads between Chicago and Win nipeg, and to sharp falling off in tine volume of receipts both southwest and northwest. The nla.A,et received it's chief upward impetus, however. in the last hour when the attention of traders turned to reports that Russian relief buying would be commenced on Friday. and would include wheat and other grain. On the ensuing advance shorts hurried 10 cover, and one of the big cash houses bought December delivery of wheat on quite an extensive scale. Despite one lively setback, the market closed at the days top level.

Further hearings are to be held here when t is expected natives of the two countries will testify.

 The committee Was received hospitahly by the natives generally. Senator Pome- rene said, though agitators appeared in process.ons where. incendiaty banners were carried. Most of the opposition. he added, appeared to be based on the mis- apprehension that American occupation was for the purpose of destroying the in dependence of the two republics.

FOOTBALL RULES SHOULD
 NOT BE CHANGED

Before very long football doctors will go into consultation and the patti ent will be poked and prodded, exam ined and cross examined to no end. At this time many things are discuss ed pro and con, and chief among them is the forward pass. Some are Yantlng as usual against the overhead weapon and want it sent to the guillotine. But the vast majority of football men in- sist that the pass has done lot to enhance interest in the sport; has done much to equaliZe strength and so give the little fellow chance.
 It seems that the chief indictment read against the play is that in the closing minutes of play a team fight ing for it's life, throws straight rush. ing to the winds and stakes it's all OH a forward pass. It is alleged that a majority of these passes fail and the game loses something in interest. Per haps there is something to be said but that is the fault of the player and not the play. Certain teams, No- tre Dame especially, make the forward pass part of their running attack and gain consistently. Well executed the pass can be worked with fair regular ity.
 Now suppose, for example, the pass is condemned because a beaten team relies upon it. Why not abolish the off tackle plunge in the first and third periods? Or, if a team is in the ruck needs four yards to go for score il the fourth period, why not make il hit through right guard? There is just as much sense in that ridiculous state ment and proposal as to say that the pass should be relegated to the junk pile because it is the reliance of the weaker team. No one who eyer saw Prichard and CMerrilatt work or watch ed Areasa and Thorpe shoot the bal will condemn the play. And down tc the present did you see the "Wynnt to Mohardt to Kiley'' pass of Notrc Dame?
 The rules committee will do well tt let football alone. It is a fine game right now, with many excellent fea- lures. More severe punishable should be meted out to teams which fragrant ly shame the rules. An Army man was seen to smash a Navy runner ant whack him with the heels of his hands instead of tackling him. A jus penalty would have been disqualifi- cation and half the distance to the goal line. No man in football should be allowed to get away with viola tions of the spirit of the rule, and al | official very often can see when sl1 tricks are being worked. The fair namt of the great sport is in the hands O. the men who play it.
