SHORT COVERING
 ' AND MORE. EXPORT BUYING FEATURED
All Grains Take An Upward Slant Yesterday In the
 Chicago Grain Pit
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 2-Wheat prices av-
 eraged higher today because of shost covering and buying by houses with ex- port connections, the latter removing hedges against sales abroad At the fin ish wheat showed net advance of 1A 10 34c, with March al $l.6s% to $l.57M. and May s1.57% to $l.5S Corn was up ss to Pc; oats showed a gain of 3s to Bc, and provisions were 81s to 2211c higher. A report that Belgium had effected d loan of 80, 100000 to buy wheat and other commodities was a factor in the wheat market. Winnipeg reported sales of flour to continental government equal to l5o,0o0 bushels of wheat, while exporters were said to have worked 900 bushels of the cereal to continental Europe. Do- mestic mills reported purchase of
 25.0O0 bushels. There was fair selling OH the bulges credited to leading longs but the market rallied quickly from declines
 the fluctuations being within narrow range Country offerings were no larger
 and Oklahoma reported complaints of
 green bug and Hessian fly, the latter affecting the market at one time. Buying against weekly bids of corn
 and furnished the bulk of support in
 coarse grains and the lowest prices of
 the day were made early There was
 rather general buying by local traders
 and commission houses, but the under
 tone was not very strong. Receipts of
 corn were large and warm weather
 caused buyers to be slow in taking hold
 of the fight moisture test grain, ex-
 cept at good discount.
 Provisions were somewhat firmer with
 scattered commission house and loca!
 buying, the strength in hogs being the
 main influence.

New Orieans cotton


 New Orleans, January 2-She down ward movement in cotton continued today in a moderate manner, prices falling g to 9 points under the last quotations Of yes terday at the lowest. while the market was closed at net declines of 17 to 2e points, March traded as low as 13.7lc and closed at 13.77c. Selling was induced mainly by expectations of large ginning figure sthe first thing Monday morning. although the market plainly was affect ed by the special liquidation reported in the March position in the New York mar ket.
 After the first break of about 15 to D points the market made small recoVeries and after that whenever the market broke into new low ground there were further upturns but all of them were narrowed and not well sustained. The steadiest pe- rod was on the close. when shorts took profits over the weekend. Expectations in this market are Tor a ginning report of at least 12,0OOO0 bales produced to January 16. which figures would generally be accepted as indicating total crop of 13, ,000.000 bales. While the trade is familiar enough with these ex- pectations they appeared to warrant sell ing in the minds of many traders

OVER PRIVATE WIRES
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. January 2s.-(special.)-- Our market again declined today on the continued heavy selling by promi- nent spot houses. but it was notice able that on the decline there was heavy buying of the distant months which was credited to be for their ac- count. The most important factor is that the mill trade of our country is consistently buying on the decline and that there is comparatively little selling from the south. It is our be- lief that the absorption of these con- tracts by mill interests and the fact that the south does not sell in large Quantities will cause a very sharp recovery in the market at almost any moment. A great deal will depend on the attitude of the holders in the next few days, but we doubt very much if they become pane stricken and sell their spot cotton at these tow prices.--Hubbard Bros & Co

Coach Kistler's fighting Missouri
Military Academy eleven defeated
Wentworth Military Academy, of Lex

day, 2 to o., If the local cadets win
their game here Thanksgiving with
Chillocthe they have the State Inter-

When Kistler began coaching it was
conceded that when he struck his
stride he wouldn't be satisfied with a
zone man team" No matter what
material he had he would produce a
fighting eleven, consistent workers
every man, and a machine that would
always give its best. He has done
this and in his second year as a pro-
f~essional coach has produced a squad
that has been the talk of the state.
The game here Thanksgiving for the
championship will be one of the great
est matches ever played on a local
field and the hackers of M. M. A.
know the team will give its best
whether it wins or not. However the
fans all hope M. m. A., will take
the game this year. Kistler and his

Chautauaua Club Meets.

At the Chautauqua Club this week
current events centered around the
Disarmament Conference which prom
ises to be the main topic for discus
sion for the next few meetings.
The remainder of the period was
under the leadership of Mrs. John
Barclay. The club for the all too
short period lived in Ancient Rome
Mrs. Clyde Blattner's talk depicted
the ancient Roman a%ristocrat and the
Roman matron. By means of illus
trations Mrs. Earl Brown very wildly
portrayed the ancient buildings in
modern Rome. In conclusion a very
thorough and satisfying visit was
made to the Pantheon and catacombs
under the guidance of Mrs. Oven
Adams whose paper was most excel
lent.
