LONDON, June 11.-What the Amer
lean forces have accomplished in
France during the first eleven months
of their participation in the war is
described in an authorized dispatch
from a correspondent of "The Times
The Americans, the writer says, are
rapidly completing the longest anc
greatest scheme of communication ever
used in warfare.
After fortnight Of solid travel
he continues, 81 am convinced that
what the Americans have accomplished ed
will rank in history as one of the
greatest achievements of the war. For
Instance, out of the waste lands ad
iacent to an old French port they have
constructed splendid line of modern
docks, where ships now arrive daily
Gischarging men, war material, cars
and machinery. A huge new ware
house system at this point is nearing
completion, in addition to motor
parks, cold storage plants and railway
yards with tracks aggregating zoo
miles in length. In the car assem-
bling shops steel cars are being put
together at the rate of a complete
train each day.
"Work is proceeding rapidly on a
new 20,000bed hospital, the largest yet
to be constructed. There are also ar
immense artillery camp and a re
mount camp, where l saw several thou
sand horses.
"These port schemes are being SO

whole situation depends, however,
upon his comparative losses, of
which, as yet there is no reliable
information.
What we do know is that the
enemy is attacking along a continu-
Gus front, with from ten to twelve
divisions, which is, SO far as infantry
alone is concerned, about 100000
men.
He is replacing his divisions at the
rate of five or six day. Therefore,
by Monday night he had engaged
more than twenty divisions at least.
He could not possibly have lost half
of that strength; a third would be a
very high estimate, and a fourth
a more reasonable one. Therefore,
though we know that the rate of his
losses is exceedingly high, we must
remember that he has been working
with smaller fraction of his total
army than on previous occasions. He
has ample material for many more
days of similar sacrifices.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York, May 3.-The cotton mar ket was very irregular during the past week. While the volume of business was not extraordinary fluctuations were particularly violent, price changes of a cent or more within a few hours having been frequent. The aggressive selling movement which developed dur ing the middle of April appeared to 'culminate on the decline to 24.60c for July contracts Monday, which made a loss of about s46 per bale from the high record April 4.
 Rallies followed which reflected the stronger technical position and cov- ering was stimulated by unfavorable crop advices and the failure of spot pected. The weekly report of the wealth CT bureau indicating that the crop had made little or no progress during the week owing to low temperatures or rain, naturally helped the rally which extended to 27.05c for July contracts on Thursday morning. making a recov- cry of 245 poitns or $12.25 per bale from the lowest.
  vance was attributed to covering of shorts, however, and the market weak ened again toward the end of the week on prospects for better weather. The technical position had probably be- come easier on the rally owing to the reduction in the short interests and prices yielded readily to a renewal of the selling movement with July touch ing 24S7c during today's trading.
 It is reported that trade interests have been moderate buyers on declines, but the demand from that source has not been greatly in evidence, and it is supposed that manufacturers are wait ing for developments in connection with possible government price fixing or regulation. There has been feel ing in some quarters that southern spot offerings would have been larger on the recent decline, had it not been for unfavorab1e new crop progress and prospects for better weather toward the end of the week revived the talk of possible spot liquidation.
 Not much southern selling was re- ported around the ring, however and the renewal of pressure was attributed chiefly to liquidation by recent buyers for reaction, or the replacing of sales which had been covered on the un- favorable crop reports

FRESH UPTURN IN
 GRAIN QUOTATIONS
Export Indications Put the Grain Pit to Work and
 Staples Go Up

Chicago, May 3.--Indications of ex- port business led to a fresh upturn to- day in the corn market Prices closed strong at the same as yesterdays finish to 1%c higher. with May, $1.27 ss and July $1.4sA @1.49%. Oats gained 1A@1Ac, and provisions 5o@S7c.
 Advances in the value of corn fol- lowed a period of weakness which lasted throughout the first half of the session. Warm. sunshiny weather, au- spicious for planting. was chiefly re- sponsible for the bearish sentiment that temporarily prevailed. Moreover, supplies in first hands were said to be heavy, and there appeared to be in creasing likelihood of a record wheat a general covering movement by shorts began and sharp advance ensued. At the top figures reached, July was up Sc from yesterdays low price. Notwith- standing though that export transac- tions were the assumed grounds for the strength of the market, no definite announcement of such dealings was made.
 Oats were swayed by the sDme in- fluences as corn. In the case of oats. the purchase here of one lot of 25,060 bushels for New York exporters was confirmed.
 Provisions rose with hogs and grain, and as a result of shippers buying of ribs. Offerings were scarce
