CHANGES START
 AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Jan. Changes about the White House and grounds to meet the wishes of President-elect Harding already have been started, tennis court in the rear of the execu- tive mansion coming in for first at ention.
 compliance with an informal request which has been in more or less disuse for some time past, was started in compliance with an informal requet to President Wilson from Senator Harding, who. beside being a good fan, is known also to be devoted to tennis.
 George Christian, Senator Hard ings secretary at his recent meeting with Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson. is understood to have refrained from decision of sec. retarial executive affairs long enough to convey the informal request.
 While the daughters of the Presi- dent, Miss Margaret Wilson and the former Miss Eleanor Wilson were ac- customed frequently to make use of the court since their absence from the White House and the illness of the President it has only been used occasionally by Secretary of War Baker and Secretary Tumulty.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

The finish. ai though unsettled was Pc to 4c net high CT, with May 1.48 1-4 to 1.48 1-2 and July 117 to 1.17 1-4. Corn gained IA G3-8 to 5-S, oats S-S to 1c, and proyis- ions 10 to soc
 Dry weather in Kansas and Oklahoma added to the misgivings which had been aroused by messages from field experts saying that throughout large districts the wheat crop looked unhealthy. and promised to become worse. The bullish sentiment thus engendered lifted the market to 1.50 for May rise of more | than 25G 8 bushel compared with prices at one time last week. Rapid fuc. | tuatiOns however, took place on today's ! advance, and there was considerable re. i action in the final half hour, gossir being current that rural offerings had ir creased somewhat and that export e.
 rnand had been checked.
 Corn and oats derived most of thei, l strength from wheat, but attention wal also given to bullish crop reports con corning oats. On the other hand, it wa, said Germany would buy Danubian corr after May IS instead of American. r. Provisions were lifted by the upwart
