German troops have already attacked the
French on the frontier.
Baron schoen called at the ministry OF
foreign affairs this afternoon and had an
interview with Premier viviani. The
greatest secrecy was kept on the subject
OF the conference. The presence of the

spot prices advanced further on a better

firmness owing to uncertainty as to the
possibility and cost of replacing avail
able supplies by fresh importations from

they started to cash their holdings on the

was made, some hogs being still unsold

1t might be mentioned that shipping
orders were conspicuous by their absence
