CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Peace Proposals Lead to Much Selling. b
Supplies Fade Away; Market Closes Nervou

Peace Proposals Lead to Much Selling, but
Supplies Fade Always Market Closes Nervous.
Chicago, Aug. 14.--Notwithstaning that
peace proposals led to much selling today in
the corn market, the rapid fading away of
immeda tely available supplies proved much
more than an offset. As result. prices
closed nervous, h0fhe net higher, at
Si15% for December and S1.1Sk @1.13& for
May. Wheat finished steady at unchanged
figures, $2.O4 for September. Oats gained
Nc to u % Nc net and provisions varied from
the same as yesterdays close TO b5c down.
Word Of the new peace move led imme.
diately to something OF q setback In prices,
but the ascent Of prices was not long in
traders appeared to be conferred chiefly on
the readiness with which all offerings we're
absorbed, whether for immediate or future
delivery In this connection. the fact was
noted that with feeding demand on the in
crease. total stocks in sight had shrunk
$40, coo bushels within week and now
aggregated but little In excess OF third
of the total a year ago.
Wheat trading was at complete stand
still the greater part of the session, az far
dicated that, in accord with government
policy. all outstanding deals soon would be
settled. Price changes were too slight to
have any special significance.
v Talk of export business at the seaboard
tended to lift the oats market. Corn
Provisions broke sharply. despite an ad-
vance in hog quotations. Free offerings of
lard from important sources were respon-
sible

NEW YORK STOCKS
Active Trading Promised at
Outset Gives Way to Re.
verses Upon Peace
Proposals.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE stock market
gave promise at the outset OF today's more
active trading OF continuing its irregular
rise of the previous session, but reversed its
course on extensive selling prompted by the
peace proposals from Rome.
Additional reason for concern was fur
nished by the gyrations OF various special
ties under pool control General Motors
was a typical instance, opening at an ad-
vance OF bh points and driving the shorts
IN THAI and other speculative issues to
hasty retreat.
War shares were steadily Hquidated after
peace reports gained currency, United States

tion above its minimum. Sugars yielded
l TO 2 points, with feathers and secondary

RUSS MOLDAYIA

Won Mackenzen's Troops Force
Russians and Roumanians
to sereth River; Capture
Railroad Center.
(By Associated Press.)

The Russians and Roumanians, hav.
ing been forced to give up the FOX
shani-Marasechti line and retire to the
Sereth river, Field Marshal Won Mack
enzen has been enabled to capture
Pantziu, railway town west OF
Marasechti. By taking the town the
Teutons probably have cut the rail-
way line north, imperiling the Rus
slams and Roumanians. fighting in
western Moldayia around Ocna, as
the railroad north from Marasechti
was one of their two means of obtain
ing supplies and reiniorcements.
Infantry Attacks Weak.
Infantry fighting on the western
front, especially in Flanders. has not
been marked during the last twenty
four hours. In southern Moldavia,
the Teuton drive against the Russians
and Roumanians progresses.
In Flanders the Anglo-French and
German troops apparently are resting
in preparation for further infantry
activity. The Germans can hardly
permit the British to hold the inn
portant salient east of Ypres and be-
tween Pilkem and Hollebekc without
first making additional efforts to
straighten out their front. By widen
ing the salient, Field Marshal Haie
adds TO the insecurity of the German
line from Dixmude north 80 the coast.

Lens.
French troops again have repuised
German efforts along the Aisne front,
Sunday night and on Monday the
Teutons tried to recapture the ground

Lens Center Of Fighting.
British Front in France and Bel
gium, Aug. l5.-Lens was the center
of the main activity on the British
front last night. The Germans con-
tinued to exhibit signs of apprehen-
sion in heavy bombardment of the
back approaches near Vimy and to the
west and northwest of the city.
The Canadian lines have been
gradually Tightening about this im-
portant French mining center and the
Canadians now hold strong positions
in the western environs. This appar.
entity has been disturbing to the
Germans, who have placed high
value on the retention of Lens, be-
cause of its enviable position in the
Pas De Calais coal fields.
Yesterday was another big day for
the British aviators. A large number OF
battles were fought over this front.
with the honors decidedly in favor OF
the British. At least six enemy air
planes were destroyed and nine other
machines were brought down out OF
control.
In the course Of last weeks air.
fighting one brilliant young Britisher
accounted for his / lrtieth machine.
