Grain and Produce.
Foreign News UnfavorabIe.

Crop news from across the waters
was unfavorable. Heavy rains have
visited Italy and damage reports are
coming from all parts of that coun-
try. Foreign receipts. however, are
liberal there, but prices are high and
buying continues, although a normal
quota has not yet been secured.
Weather in England and France as
well as in Russia, has interfered with
the spring seeding of grain.
Corn and oats parted company to-
day, as corn advanced A03sc, while
oats declined 1s@Ac. These big sup
plies are against any probable harden
ing in values in the near future.
There is now in the visible supply
32,577 900 bushels corn and 27,2S4,000
bushels oats.
The duiIness in the cash provision
market coupled with the liberal hog
movement to Western points were
the bearish influences. Shorts we're
the principal buyers, while packers
led in the selling.

URGE VESSEL sElzuRE

LONDON, July 20. - The Navy League, through its executive com mittee, has published an appeal to the government to seize all German. Aus trian and Turkish merchant ships de- tained in ports of the British Empire "as a set off, in some measure, against the destruction of British merchant vessels without warning by German submarines"
 The appeal states that 119 German, 20 Austrian and II Turkish ships were detained in British ports on the out breeak of the war, and there were also IS German and 8 Austrian ships detained in Egyptian ports, making total of I'll ships detained in all In addition 119 German ships, 2 Austrian and Turkish have been seized on entering British and Colonial ports or upon the high seas, making a total of BOP "enemy vessels" in tbe possess ion of the British Government. The captured vessels are, of course, sub ject to Prize Court decisions, but the detained vessels are apparently being held mp pending the conclusion of the war.
 Surely it is the obvious duty of the government to turn to practical account every vessel in their hands for the benefit of British interests" :" says the appeal. "The destruction of B ritishmerchant vessels in violation of the laws of war offers complete vim dicatiOn of this form of reprisaL Whatever a Prize Court decision may be as affecting cargoes of vessels that have been seized, there snouId be no hesitation on the part of the govern ment to confiscate enemy ships as an act of reprisal for British merchant men which have been sunk.
 Tn the present eXigencies of the nation, every enemy merchantmen in seaworthy condition should be active ly employed as part of the British mercantile marine The immediate value of the adoption of such a policy would be to convince Germany that she must pay in kind and at once for her lawlessness at sea- and in the second place to assist in considerably modifying the quotations for shipping freights by stimulating a demand for the use of these ships by merchants.
 The Navy League, therefore, strong ly urge that his Majesty's government should at once follow the example of our latest ally, Italy, in conhscating at least an equivalent of enemy shiDS to those which have been destroyed by German submarines; and further employ all enemy ships for the pur- pose of British sea commerce upon such terms and under such conditions as may be deemed advisable"

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of lt in Bisbee But Daily

The kidneys often cry for help.
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed;
 Not one more important to health.
 The kidneys are the filters of the blood
 When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poisoned blood.
 Backache is one of the frequent in- dications of kidney trouble.
 It is often the kidneys cry for help. Heed it.

SMALL HAMLETS ARE
 IMPORTANT TOWNS IN
 PRESENT TRENCH WAR
Little Towns Near ArraS, Where Some of Heaviest Fighting Has Been Going on, Will Go Down in Modern History.

ABBEvILLE France, July 2o--The character Of the town to town, house to house struggle that has been eoin- on north of Aras. is shown in nearly ali it's detaJs ly the experience of Carency. An insignifican. hamlet of about 475 inhabitants before the war, this village will have the honors of history. It first came into the zone of operations when the German move ment toward the sea was finally check ed there.
 The Bavarians. leaving Beaumont October lst. secured a footing on the hills of Nimy and Leivin, the 4th they were at Carency, Givency- y-en-Gohelle, Notre Dame de Lorette Souchez and Ablain- Saint -Nazaire. all of which have since had the honors of frequent mention in the official communications The French cavalry with the Moroccan Mounted RiAemen, met them there and opposed further prolongation of the enemy's front by the valleys of the Authis and the Canche forcing them to fortify themselves on the hills of Artois and in the coal fields around Lens thus saving Boulogne, Calais and Dunkirk
 The French took about half of the village of Carency on the night of Oc- tober 5, but were stopped at the most considerable of the town, the Carency brewery. where the Germans made their final stand and where they main tained themselves all winter Its fall was the prelude Co the conquest of the ] surrounding hills In the meantime the physiognomy not only of the ham. let itself but of the surrounding coun- try, had been so changed that it is al most impossible for those who kncW
 it before the war to recognize it now . The owner of the brewery. an off
 cer in the French army, was already
 at the front His wife and children driven from their residence by the ap
 preaching German fire, took refuge there, but had scarcely established . themselves when the place became
 the center of a violent conflict. While
 hand to hand fighting was going or
 in the gardens all around, at one O
 clock in the morning French soldier. hitched horses to conveyance sem
 the family back of their lines and ther with fixed bayonets returned to the , assault of the brewery They were unable to carry it, but succeeded in or ganizlng the position with loop-holel through the walls so as to hold tn, . enemy in check
 From that day the brewery and tn, } other buildings on the French line
