Chicago Produce Market
(By the Associated Press


Notwithstanding unlooked-for de-
crease of the United States wheat Wis
ible supply, wheat values today show
ed a downward trend the greater part
of the time. Weakness of foreign
markets, including Winnipeg, led to
persistent selling here. Chicago clos
ing prices on wheat were unsettled at
to 23c net decline, new style. Decem-
Der 1.67a and May 1881 to 1.63s, with
corn to &C down. oats to &c off and
provisions VARYING from unchanged
figures to csc decline.
Although wheat trading showed less
volume than has recently been the
rule. sellers outnumbered buyers sufti-
GENTLY to force prices down at one
stage about four cents a bushel under
Saturdays closing figures for the May
delivery. Important buying was con-
fined nearly altogether to previous SELL
ers who were in a position to collect
profit. Meanwhile, attention of traders
focused chiefly on sharp declines at
Liverpool, Buenos Aires and winnipeg.
These declines were emphasized by
word that fine weather prevailed in Ar
gentina and that shipments of wheat
and -four to Liverpool aggregated l.
$4,000 bushels against $4,000 bushels
a week ago.
Surprise over the fact that the Unit
ed States visible supply total showed
1881 900 bushels decrease, whereas
most traders had expected substan-
tial increase. was responsible for the
best rally scored by the wheat market
today, but the effect was largely tran
silent
On the other hand, export demand
was at about the vanishing point for
at least the time being, and cash
handlers said no active buying on the
part of domestic mills was likely un-
til after the close of the year
Corn and oats eased down with
wheat and as a result of increased Of
ferings of corn from Iowa and Illi-
nois. Eastern inquiry for corn and
oats was relatively slow.
Expected announcement of an in
crease of the stock of lard tended to
weaken the provision market.

ROCKNE ON WAY
TO WEST after
RECENT GOSSIP

New York, Dec. hap -Knute
Rockne, self-styled Country boy"
from Indiana, is rolling westward
today, having escaped the wiles of
"city slicker," and he hopes that
he gets back his job in his home
town of South Bend.
Rockne in his moments "off the
farm" coaches ''horsemen" and lines
up mules" to make football teams.
Late last week his fame having
spread to the East he came to Phila-
delphia and learned that he had
been named coach of the Columbia
football eleven in the great city of
New York for the next three years.
Authoritative reports say the con-
tract would have been worth $4,000
annually.
The producers of the -four horse
men" of the astounding hips hur-
ried to the metropolis and admitted
that such a thing had been in pros
pect, that he signed an agreement
to do as advertised if the University
of Notre Dame out home agreed to
release him from contract which
had several years to run. But he
added that he had notified the au-
thorities at Columbia that the re-
lease was not forthcoming and
therefore he must decline their in
vitation.
Chairman James r. Knapp of the
Columbia football committee, a well
known lawyer, was the man who
conducted the negotiations with
Rockne and he met the Notre Dame
urh he
was a hotel conference in which
Rockne endeavored to assist the CO.
lumbia official in the preparation of
clarity the situation. While he dis
cussed the proposed announcement,
RocFne was informed over the tele-
phone that Columbia already had
issued a statement to the effect that
his selection had been withdrawn.
The Columbia committee on ath-
letics has ordered a full investiga-
ton of matters which led to the an
nouncement Friday night that
Rockne had been engaged. A let
ter written by Rockne to Knapp on
Dec. z, in which Rockne claims to
have ended negotiations through the
statement that he could not obtain
his release from Notre Dame is ex-
pected to feature the inquiry.
Columbia has an agreement of
some sort signed by Rockne but it
has not been made public. The
Notre Dame coach declares he did
not sign anything that would have
been valid, without the release from
the Indiana institutions.
AS Rockne left for the West last
night he told how the Country boy"
had escaped from the "city slickers. !"
Il hope my job is waiting for me
when get back" he added. Now
that have talked myself out in the
East my next job will be to go be-
fore the Notre Dame officials and
doubtless do a lot more of explain
ing. But l guess everything will be
all right and 1 hope to continue
coaching at South Bend"
