he is in school at least two weeks
prior to the day of the game.
"The rule does not say whether
that applies to players entering in a
new semester as well as those enter
ing in .the middle of the term, or
whether it applies only to those
players who register late. At any
rate. Washington has a man who reg
istered at the same time that Scallon,
the protested Franklin player entered,
and he was not usea tor rear 01 vio
lating the rule. The only reason we
are entering a protest is to have, the

PROFIT , SALES DEPRESS
WHEAT DROPS AFTER REACH
ING NEW HIGH RECORD.
Traders Disposed to Realize on
Recent Sharp Advances.
Crop Reports Ignored..
CHICAGO. Feb. 9. Although wheat to
day reached new high price .records for
the season, heavy profit-taking sales led
subsequently to a decline. Buying based
on adverse domestic crop reports was ener
getic at first, but failed to last. The mar
ket closed weak. to Hc net lower
with May, l.Xtl to $l.J9i, and July
1.15.N, to 1.15.
Corn finished sj(4c to lHHi down,
and oats off ?ic toTsc. In provisions,
the outcome varied from unchanged fig
ures to 7c higher.
Many wheat traders showed from the
start a disposition to realize profits on
holdings and to regard unfavorable crop
reports as exaggerated. The fact that
call for immediate delivery of wheat was
slow and that the May delivery was in no
urgent request 'brought about increased
caution as to investment in July con
tracts. Notwithstanding that late mes
sages told of dust storms again in Kan
sas, the news was without any apparent
effect in rescuing the markets from the
price decline which had set Iik
Liberal receipts of corn, together with
talk of available storage room here,
tended to depress the value of corn and
oats. Besides, rural offerings Increased
and shipping demand here was slack.
Provisions were dull, but prices were
firm in line with, the hog market.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & ;Cooke company
of Portland follows:
"Wheat It was a "very erratic market,
being sensitive to news of all descriptions.
At the outset the advance in Liverpool
was ignored, .but when that market showed
a further gain at the close prices rallied
quickly into new high ground. Reports of
damage received from the south were held
to be grossly exaggerated, and toward the
close considerable selling took place on the
belief that crop reports for a while are
likely to be less influential than for sev
eral days past. A Paris cable said the
crop outlook is generally favorable and
that Prance proBably will carry over a
good quantity of wheat and that the same
situation exists in Germany. This does
not coincide with advices we have been
receiving of late nor is it substantiated
in the market's record. Consequently we
look for at least a temporary setback from
this, level.
"Corn Trade was less active and 'the
market influenced largely by the action of
wheat, although a lagging tendency was
apparent, dtie to the large receipts and in
creased country offerings. The cash de
mand was good and the trading basis firm
to fairly higher than yesterday. The sea
board failed to report any business. Fur
ther reaction in wheat would undoubtedly
assuage bullish sentiment in corn and prob
ably result in a setback, but we hardly
believe ;t would be permanent or far-extending.
"'Oats Buying by northwestern interests
was - offset by selling in the nature of
liquidation and prices declined to a dis
count of about half u cent under yester
day's final figures. Shipping demand
shows some indication of broadening, sales
or bushels being reported today.
We favor purchase; on any sympathetic
selling.
"Rye. Active buying by seaboard inter
ests gave independent strength to this
market. Cash rye advanced, with the fu
ture selliffg at 4 cents under March."
