CORN MARKET
MUCH LOWER

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Big new down
ward swings IN the corn market too
place today under pressure Of a gem
eral rush to sell. Word that a grand
offensive Of the Entente forces was in
progress on all fronts, gave fresh i'm
petus to thesbearish sentiment. due to
the collapse Of Bulgaria. Buying was
almost wholly confined to shorts who
had profits. Opening prices which
ranged from 1-2 to 1 ga cents lower,
with October $1.41 to Sd and Novem-
Der $1.39 ga to 1.40, were followed
by a sharp, further descent of values.
Oats responded only moderately to
the break in corn. The fact that ar
rivals of oats were scanty and that
cash demand was good acted as an off,
set. After opening unchanged to
SIS cents lower, with October ~ IL
to 70, prices underwent a further sag
but then recovered nearly to yester-
days finish.
Official denial that a minimum price
on hogs was contemplated had a
weakening effect on provisions.
Favorable weather conditions for
cutting and curing the crop prevented
any important rally. The market
closed unsettled, 1 3-S to 8 lac net
lower with October $1.39 ID to $1.39
"a and November $1.3s to 1-S.
Add provisions:
In later dealings pork remained de-
pressed but lard and ribs made an up

Relatives of Lorn Watkins of Co. II,
Oskaloosa, reported in dispatches to
have been killed, in France now state
that there must be mistake in names
as Mrs. Hurley, the mother, who has
been at Abba has received no official
information of the casualty.
Local reports of the death were dis
tributed by relatives of the boy in
question. John Sipes of the Eddyville
Tribune first. received the report from
a relative of the Watkins boy, residing
in LoVilia, stating that telegram had
been received reporting the casualty.
The news came so straight to the
Eddyville news gatherer that he did
not verify the report of the receipt of
the telegram and used the story in
Saturdays Tribune. The story reached
Oskaloosa from Eddyville sources. 1t
was also told to the family of Captain
Springer and was by them repeated to
Oskaloosa parties.
J. D. Manuel, brother-in-law tele-
phoned the Herald frOm-Albia that the
relatives there had received no word
of the death of the lad.

Monster preparations had been
made by the Austrians for what was
to be the death blow to King Victor
