leys, generally speaking, were the best
received for some time past, there be-
ing number of carloads of well fin
ished animals, the great bulk of which
sold at the top of the quotation which
follows: Prime light $17.25@17.50;
prime heavy $17@17,25; bulk $3.50;
pigs $15,50@16.
Sheep-Demand continues to devel-
op in the sheep department where trad
ing for the early part of the week was

sion of the conference was one of pro
fessions of faith and of repetitions OF
General Korniloff's s warnings of Rus
sia s grave situation.
M. Grouzinoff, representing the Zem
stvo organizations, pleaded with thu
delegates to support Korniloff anG
save the country from invasion.
M. Proloff, representing the railroad
engineers, gave full confirmation tC
Korniloff's statements that Russia ,:
transport system was disorganized. He
declared demands of railway workers
were largely responsible.
Delegate Grouzemberg, speaking in
behalf of all Russian Jews, pledged
loyalty of that race to the new gov
ernment.
Ready for Any Sacrifice
Several Ukranian representatives in
impassioned addresses declared their
province was ''ready for any sacrifice
for the country's good"
Mussulmans delegates pledged un-
swerving fealty to the government.
There was every indication today
that Premier Kerensky and General
Korniloff would bury the hatchet and
adjust their differences, both ignoring
attempts by the workmen 5 and sol
diers' leaders to dominate the army.
The workmen and the soldiers fac
tion, it appeared, would be forced to
yield on many points, probably on capi-
tai punishment, demanded by Korni-
loft as necessary for establishment
of discipline in the army.
