LEMBERG GOAL REACHED, THUS AUSTRO-GERMAN
 ARMIES RELAX EFFORTS

Austrian Army Headquarters in Ga licia, Sunday, July II, via London, July 12.-The relative subsistence of activity on the part of the Teutonic allies during last week may be ex- platned by the fact that the goal set for the Lemberg campaign already has been attained. This was the re- capture of the city and the securing of strong defensive positions to the east ward and northward. These posi- tions have now been secured along the Zelota Lipa and Bug rivers and the ridge to the northward of Krasnik.
 The Russians attempted a counter offensive from Lublin against the Aus tro-German positions north of Kras- nix, bringing up heavy endorsements for this purpose. Owing to this, the Austrian troops which had rushed be- yond the positions originally selected withdrew to the ridge where they have been successfully resisting all Russian attacks. They feel secure in their present positions and it is believed here that they can be easily held against whatever forces Russia can throw against them.
 Indications now point to a period of quiet along the Russo -Galician front while the Teutonic allies are prepar- ing for operations in other quarters.

 Plea in Perjury Case

The Austrians have again become aggressive here, ac- cording to the Russian statement. but their attacks were repulsed-
 Unoficfn despatches from Aus trian headquarters contain the statement that the Teutonic for ces halted north of Krasnik be- cause the object of the campaign against Lemberg had been attain ed with the recapture of that city and the estimates of strong de- fensfye positions to the north and east.
 Several successes along the Aus tro-Italian front are reported by Italian army Headquarters, in the districts where the Italian forces are engaged in the effort to clear the road to Triest. Counter-at- tacks by the Austrians in the Isonzo valley have been repulsed, it is declared.
 The Turkish war office records the bombar rdment of Gapa Tepes near the tip of the Gallipon pe- ninsula, by a. cruiser, presuu- ably British, which, protected by torpedo craft fred 200 shells without success.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Official announce
ment Of a big falling off in the volume
OF the French crop gave considerable
strength today to wheat prices. The
higher, with December at $3.50 and May
at Csc. Corn finished hc. to lc under
last night, oats unchanged and provis-
ions at an advance of TIC to l6c.
Buying impetus in the wheat pit be-
came the most apparent after the atten-
prospect of greatly increased imports
being needed In France. The inference
was drawn from a leading Chicago au-
thority that as much as 600 bushels
would have to be shipped from other
countries to meet French requirements
1t was furthermore asserted that even
this huge total would be inadequate IL
the German forces In France were ex-
PEELED and the supplies in the French
war zone were not saved for the civilians
ever. the fact that freight rates on the
Atlantic had reached the highest point
ever known exercised somewhat of a re-
straining influence on the bulls. Rains
in Canada and a forecast of general
showers over the entire domestic belt
from the outset. Notwithstanding that
a number of spectators were free sellers
on the advance, no pronounced bearish
result was at any time noticeable and the
close was at virtually the top level OF
the session.
Corn weakened enough to touch the
lowest prices so far this season. The
favorable weather acted as a stimulus
for sellers, but covering by shorts was
at times on a liberal scale. Oats remained
absorbed the offerings. Higher prices in
the hoe market lifted provisions. There
was no abatement in the export demand
for cured meats.
