London, Dec. 12.-That the Germans
are determined to cut through the

with heavy losses.
A dispatch from Berlin signed by
the chief of the army administration
insists that the Germans have made
progress in Flanders, but there is no
inkling of the point where this ad.
vance was made.
1t also is asserted that French at
tacks in the forest of LIE Pretre and
to the west of Pont-a-Mousson were
repulsed.

Traders Play for Reaction,
Believing Upturn Was Too
Sharp-European Soil in
Shape for Planting.

CHICAGO, Sept. lion the theory that
sharp traders played for a reaction to-
day and the market started one-quarter
lower at 1.111s for December and 119 to
11SIs for May. There was rather free
selling by T. brokers. The commission
call at the recession was fair.
The receipts of wheat at Minneapolis
and Duluth today were 1858 cars, against
800 cars year ago. at Winnipeg 1859
cars against 1,049 cars; at Chicago 344
cars against % cars. 1t is estimated that
the area of winter wheat in the surplus
States will exceed that of last year by
ten per cent
Recent rains have placed the soil in fine
condition for preparations for the new
crop throughout Europe. The sowing
time of the belligerent countries Is as
follows:
Germany, Hungary and Austria in Sep
tember and October, France in November
and January, South Russia in September
and November, and Great Britain In Oc-
tober and December. The demand from
millers abroad continues large. The
weather in Argentina is fine. The market
at Liverpool was firm on a better general
inquiry.
Trade in corn was light. December
opened off 1Sc., at 72kc.. to Sc, and
May unchanged at 751sc. to 747sc There
was some realizing. The country is not
selling. The price current has received
reports indicating a total corn crop for
the United States this year of approxi-
mately 2,S0O,00OOO0 bushels, against g.
59S 100000 bushels forecast in the Sep
tcmber report of the Government. The
receipts of corn here today were 100 cars.
Prices in Argentina were flrmer 1t Is
expected that surplus of that country
will be disposed of quickly.
Oats was easier on realizing. The de-
mand was not so urgent Most of the
bulls are waiting a further reaction be-
fore increasing their lines. There were
no sales by the country to arrive. Ex-

ton of the assets of the Temple Iron
