Chicago, Sept. l5-Better weather
than expected gave an advantage to-
day to the bears in the corn market.
Over the southwest especially. Condi-
tons for maturing the crop are excel
lent, Reports of German submarine
operating off the New England coast
tended further to handicap the bulls.
Opening prices which ranged from 4
to = cents lower, with December al
sl.1S4 to $11Sl:. were followed by a
moderate additional decline.
Offers of shipments from Chicago
from the southwest and west led az

Der at Sl.14 to $1.144 for May.
Oats.
Oats weakened with corn. Assertions
tina, yesterdays sales to exporters
totaled 100000 bushels were virtually
ignored.
Wheat.
Slight increased receipts of wheat
here were noted. In the northwest.
however. arrivals fell off somewhat.
A committee Of three traders was
named here today to determine dis
counts for No. ) sample grade and
smutty wheat. The three men will use
their judgment in fixing the value OF
such grain.
Provisions.
Large purchases for Belgium put
firmness in the provisions market. Of

Chicago, Sept 15--Big grades found
ready outlet in the hog market to-
day but inferior kinds proved slow.
Receipts at Kansas City Friday were
smaller, due mainly to labor trouble,
while balance OF the eleven principal
markets had larger arrivals. Total for
the day al the eleven markets was
10000 or $4,000 more than a week ago,
1900 less than year ago and 1900
less than two years ago.
Receipts for the first five days Of
the week at these markets total about
22S, coo, being 5000 more than same
days last week, $1,000 less than a year
ago and $4,000 less than two years ago.
Cattle.
Nearly all the cattle arriving were
sonsigned direct to killers.
Compared with week ago the bulk
of offerings showed so cents advance.
Most OF the best offerings Were 10
cents higher and there were a few of
the cheap kinds that did not show
over 35c upturned. 1t was healthy
market since Monday. and even. on
that day all but very small part OF
the supply sold on a firm basis.
Receipts here Friday totaled $500
including around $500 TO the packers
from other markets. The run was
abou. as expected and proved little
larger than a week ago and two weeks
ago Five days receipts al Chicago at
$4,000 fell a little short of the same
period last week. but proved around
1000 larger than corresponding time
year ago.
The seven western markets had To-
600 Yesterday, or 1000 more than same
period last week and 5000 more than
year ago. Thus far this week com
binad arrivals totaled $4,000 or 44.Ooo
less than same period last week and
1000 less than corresponding five days
year ago For the year to date the
increase compared with same period
last year figured 1,143,oo0.
Sheep.
Sheep arrivals today were consigned
direct TO packers.
Range lambs have sold up to $685.
TO killers. and that price created
new record for strictly rangers other
than Colorados.
What is more. feeders paid up to SIS
for several hundred head Of thin wes-
terms to take out for finishing purposes,
and that price was never before PAID
by country buyers except for douoie
deck sorted out Of a direct band OF
CALIFORNIA;.
With killers going after fat lots and
feeders buying thin kinds so freely. the
market looks healthy for the future
despite prospects of occasional weak
ness.
A short time ago feeders were con-
sidered high at sls.60d170o. but the
demand seems to hold out In the face
Of predictions by some that the coun-
try call would lag once the $500 marx
was passed.
Top for fat rangers has advanced
nearly $500 in less than two months,
and It is reasonable to expect a tenn
porary reaction. although killers have
been getting only a small proportion
of offerings because Of the broad feed>
er call.

BRITAIN EXPECTS PEACE OFFER.
Kaiser Believed to Be Planning End Of
War Before Winter Ends.

London. Sept. 12.-Official London
believes that very definite peace offer
will come from Germany before the
winter and that the offer will suggest
Immediate cessation OF hostil!ties on a
status quo basis.
The entente has indicated that It will
refuse such term, and Germany IS be-
lieved to be aware Of this. But Ger
man leaders regard a status quo offer
an Indispensable step in the prepara-
ton OF German public opinion for
further concessions.
There is no doubt the German gov
erHment is anxious 10 get out of the
war at the earliest possible moment on
any terms insuring them against re-
yolut:on and national collapse.
People Would Welcome It.
Great number OF people in Germany
today would welcome a peace on a
status quo basis. in which no belliger-
ent would gain any territory and in
which each side would bear its own
burden OF the material losses OF the
war But it is impossible to say how
far this view has spread among the
German proletarIat, because It has had
small opportunity OF public expression.
If the German people ultimately come
to accept loss of territory as inevita-
bic. they must reach that frame OF
mind through a willingness TO accept
status quo peace. If the war continues
TO go against Germany, test offers to
,conclude such a peace certainly will
zoe made.
Since Germany's peace offer a year
ago, the continued pressure Of the en-
tente and the entry of the United
States has completely changed the sit
uation. The question IS now not what
arc the war aims Of Germany. but what
terms she herself will be willing to -ac-
cept.
Economic Matters in Foreground.
The entry of the United States and
many Of the South American republics
has put economic matters into the
foreground. The German government
must view with extreme apprehension
the situation succeeding the declara-
ton Of peace. The physical exhaus-
ton Of the people and of the country,
the want of food. which cannot be i'm
mediately remedied and raw material
for starting manufacturers, will create
serious situation. If troops back
from the front cannot start immediate
" in Industrial life almost inevitably
there will be a very dangerous move
ment.
This would be started by the min
orty socialists, and If Germany comes
on, of the war without increased
strength and prestige. the influence of
the government on the middle classes
will be so much weakened that it will
be impossible to depend on their sup
port against a revolutionary movement.
The Prussian military and agrarian
party undoubtedly would prefer civil
war 70 ar.- =::--c=1-:- =;;::.:: :. v>.::;: 81
prive them Of their political power.
For this reason what Germany will
most seek for in any peace arrange
ment is assurance OF free flow of food
and raw material into the country and
free markets for German products. II
this could he sacured the energ; of the
people could be directed at once TO the
restoration Of commerce and industry
and their interests so concentrated that
they would be turned away from dan
gerous political considerations"
