Chicago, Nov. 22.-Hogs hardened In

Cattle.
Most of the cattle offerings lacked
quality.
Proximity Of Thanksgiving week
poultry competition is looked upon as
probable of slowing up shipper de-
mand for good to choice heavy steers
later this week and the trade hoping
only small number of such grades
are marketed Packer outlet for like
kinds and in fact all classes of beeves
is due to shorten up owing to poultry
competition, and If the market is gem
erously supplied later this week lower
range of prices which was forced for
bulk of the Monday supply can well be
expected to be followed by further
breaks.
Two days supplies this week stood
.
31,9S4 a year ago. while runs at seven
primary markets were $1,000 for the
day, against $4,000 a week ago. and the
two-day crop 10000. an increase Of
5000 over week ago and 10000 more
than a year ago.
The margin of profit which was
broad and "a strong magnet, drawing
out shipments only a short time ago
as affecting corn warmed steers, is
pretty much wiped out now, and res
olution on part Of owners of such

recuperate from the effects of the big
dose of supplies will be pleasing to the
trade. ry
Pilng stuff up in the freezers as
killers are doing now, they insist upon
getting it cheap enough to offset car
ryinE charges and. free running of the
supplies only plays into their hands.
The beef market cannot be broken cor
respondingly with live cattle costs for
the reason that killers with their al
most unlimited storage capacity are in
a position to lay by the cheap bought
product and await a favorable outlet
for it. That policy Is followed by the
owners of corn warmed cattle for a pc

not permit such weakness in price as
is not noted for other than well condi-
toned steers.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Wheat - Wheat
exhibited great strength early today
because of increasing on export bus
mess reported late yesterday. The De-
cember showed greater strength than
the May. The latter at mid day was
about unchanged from yesterday, while
the December showed a gain of about l
cent per bushel. Further talk of an
embargo against exports was used to
good advantage by the bears.
Corn-Corn, like wheat. lost much Of
an early bulge. The prospects of UNI
settled weather and further confirma-
ton of disappointing husking returns
were the buIlish influences Cash mar
ket followed the course of the futures
being sharply higher early but losing
the advance by Midday. The first run
of new corn will continue to be well
absorbed and there is not likely to be
much weight from the new crop until
later in the winter.
Oats-Oats did not fully follow either
the bulge or the break in other grains.
The market is stabilized by a we'll sus-
tanned cash demand. Elevator interests
are profiting by the large stocks they
are carrying and are competing with
shippers whenever they have room to
store more grain.

Paris, May 26-French troops repulsed violent Ger

trench lost earlier in the battle Thaumont farm east

West Of the Meuse, Germans continued to rake the
whole French 'front.' especially around Dead Mans hill and
Avocourt with most violent fire. However in spite of
this preparation all German infantry attacks halted
by curtain of French projectiles
heavy bombardment of Hill 3O4 and of strong posi-
ons in front of Avocourt was believed preliminary to an
attempt to storm the French holdings. This win bring
German troops closer to the ST. MenhOud railroad which
leads eastward to Verdun.
Further German gains on both Meuse banks aroused

Germans capture the CITADEL it would not alarm Paris.
At the same time it is realized the Germans are con-

them at present. Uncounted numbers Of dead and
wounded litter the slopes Of Dead Mans hill and the ter
rtory around Douaumont Shells constantly bursting
among them killing the wounded and tearing bodies to
bits SO there will be opportunity of attempting to
tabulate the casualties until the artillery ceases.

Dallas viii Get Next
Presbyterian Assembly

Atlantic City, N. j.. May 26.-The
Presbyterian assembly will meet in
1917 at Dallas, Texas, it was decided
today. Dallas delegates made hard
fight to win the-eOnclave for their city.
Seattle delegates were most active in
bidding for the convention. During
the debate one delegate shouted: "If
the Presbyterian church is out to ac-
complish results for the temperance
cause, the assembly ought to go to
towns where there are no saloons"
A resolution was adopted urging
church officers to abstain from tobacco.
oswalde Helsing, opposing this meas
ure, declared the assembly might just as
well pass resolutions against eating
candy, drinking coffee or riding on
bicycles.
