Cornfed beeves are becoming rather scarce and the arrivals In clude an Increasing numBer of western grass cattle every day. On the good corn fed steers the market was not far from steady and choice cattle sold up to $18.80. On the short fed and warmed Op cattle, as well as on the general run of grass steers, the market was slow to 10c lower than Monday, very decent grass beeves bringing 810.00W10.25. Cows and heifers were In very limited supply and rather Indifferent demand. Trade was slow from start to finish and prices around 10c lower on an average. Veal calves, bulls, stags, etc., were about steady. S Business In stockers and feeders was very quiet. Choice grades carrying some flesh were quotably about steady, but there was very little call for the general run of stock steera and cows, and prices were unevenly lower.

S., S40 16 Hege The run of hoga was generous even for a Tuesday, and two and a halt times the alia ,of yesterday'a supply. Arrivals were estimated at 193 cars, or 33,440 head This makes the total for the two days 18.871 head, as compared with 23,57$ last week, 24,143 two weeks ago and 13,44$ a year ago. At most other markets runs were moder ate and in sympathy with strong to higher advances from outside points, the local trade opened at generally better figures, despite the slse of local offerings. On the opening both Bhlppers and packers were fairly eager buyers. They showed a preference for the better kinds, but also took a good many loads of ordinary pack ens, paying prices that ranged from fully steady to In most cases 6 jyioc nigner, ana scratch sales made here and there showed a good dtaj more upturn than that As has Deen we cass lor some urn ina irsuo was very uneven, and the amount of the ad vanca could only be approximated, as It was nothing uncommon for buyers to differ 10316c In appraising the same load of stuff. Soma of the plain packing kinds wsre bought early at the prevailing advance but taken as a class this stuff showed the usual dragglnsss, and a good many of the less desirable bunches of heavy sows and mixed hoga were left for the finish. By this time the edge was off the demand, buyers having filled thlr more urgent or ders and the result was the customary slow close, with the early advance all lost Eventually everything was cleaned up, but sellers had ta take prices that they did not consider even fully steady In order to dispose of some bunches. Packers bought a good share of their hogs upwards from $14.60 to $14 80 or $14.65. There was a sprinkling of some of the plainest stuff under $14.60, while the best hogs sold on up to even money and abovs, the .top reaching $15.60, which Is as high as anything has sold since the early days of the month.

Sellers fought hard to keep packers from carrying out their bear ish program, and the first sale of westerns that was made was right close to steady, while a few natives looked ateady to, if anything, a little stronger, but when most of the western offerings finally changed hands It was at prices that were generally lower, salea being as much as 15f25c be low yesterday. Early In the day as high as $15.60 was psld for a deck or so of natives, but the best price paid for any rangers was $15.60 and bulk of the sales made up to noon landed around $18.36. Several cars of fat stuff had not been cashed at lunch time. The run of fat sheep ws moderate, though larger than most recent days, and packers, who have been unable to get much old mutton of late, took what waa here rapidly at ftgurea that looked. If anything, a little stronger. Native ewes sold as high as $9.009.5. a couple of cars of rangers reached $9.30, the highest price that has been paid In some little time.

Brightening Crop lUports From Corn Belt Sends Grain Down la Chicago Tit. Chicago, July 34. Brlgtenlng crop reports from the big corn producing states such as Kansas. Iowa. Nebraska, gave a declslvs downward swing today to the corn market hire. Trices finished easy. e to iHo net lower with September, $1.684 and Decem ber, $1.14H to $1.149.. Wheat declined 6c to. 4 Vic and closed steady at $3.64 July, and 5.J5 September. Oata lost Hf M to 3o, and provisions, !5c to 30c. Word of the breaking up of a two months' drougth In north central Kansas acted ss a starter for aggressive selling of corn. The fact that the relief which rains hsd given extended throughout Smith and Jewel coun ties, the banner corn counties of the state, madi the news appear especially significant. Besides, the bearish effect was soon greatly Increased by cheery advices that corn In Iowa was tassellng and that many sections of Nebraska where the crop had been back ward the outlook was now fully normal for this time of the year. It was also said that there had been some increase of rural offerings of corn by farmers, whom high prices had tempted to dispose of livestock. Renewal of peace gossip from Washington counted too In some degree against the bulla No sufficient reason for any Important rally dovelopcd and the lowest prices of the day were reached just before the close. Expected enlargement of receipts of wheat here did a good deal to send values for that cereal down grade. It was gossip that there would be a considerable amount of wheat delivered In Chicago on July contraots be fore the end of the present week. In ad dition, difficulties hlnherlng the progress of food legislation seemed to act eomewhat as a weight on the market. Oats broke sharply under selling from a big house, which hsd receft tly been a con spicuous purchsser. Rapid spread of the harvest was reported snd generally good yelds where threshing hsd begun. Weakness of grain and of outtonaaed oil pulled down provisions. Advances In the hog market seemed to be wholly ignored, as well as an increased southern demand for ribs.

Street Continues with Al j most 'Smallest Turnover of Summer. New York, July 24. Stocks resumed thetr downward course today on almost the Smallest turnover of any full session thus far this summer. Total dealings barely amounted to 630.000 shares, steels and ship pings contributed fully two-thirds of the whole. Trsders again aligned themselves on the bear side, forcing prices to lowest levels In the last hour, the enly active period of the day. So far as they had any Inoentlve at all, operations wers almost wholly gov erned by diverse reports from Washington. Shippings were firm and depressed at the outset, but rallied temporarily on the elim ination of the original ship building board, only to lose ground again later. Ralls were moved to higher levels for a time on the Interstate Commerce commis sion decision, which favored the western and Paclflo coast carriers, but soon fell back with the general list. Changes elsswhere scarcely warrant de tailed comment, steels and the several war groups repeating thetr familiar move ments of alternate advances and declines. United States Steel fluctuated between 133 and 1304, closing at 120, a net loss of IS points. Various other Industrials and specialties forfeited extreme gains of 1 to 3 points, the market ending with a heavy undertone. The $(,009,000,000 budget submitted to oongress by the secretary of the treasury Invited discussion In banking circles, but was without effect upon local money condi tions. Call loana were made at 2 per cent down to 14 Per cent, but no conces sions were reported In time accommoda tions. Preparations were under way for next week's payment of another large Liberty loan payment. Rubles were the only foreign remittance to show any pronounced change, repeating their recent low record of 81 on the dls coursglng military news from Russia. Ru mors of an early resumption of gold Im ports from Canada lacksd authoritative confirmation. Dealings In the bond market, except for sporadic advances In minor railway Issues were altogether perfunctory, with an Ir regular tone. Llbarty 3a ranged from 9.46 to 99.49.

(By Mail.) Cana dian officers on leave here from the French front have informally recom mended to American officials that American Indians be employed or en listed for service with the American expeditionary forces. Manitoba In dians with the Canadians have done excellent work at scouting in No Man's land. "These Indians with us," said a captain with the Canadian forces whose parents live in Philadelphia, "have performed services that never could have been performed by a white man. Thz Indian of North America has it in him to be a good fighter and a crafty one. We have them in nearly every regiment. "Again and again during the last two years I have seen them go out at night between the trenches without firing a shot, without making the slightest noise or creating the slight est disturbance, come back leading a half dozen or so Germans, from whom much valuable information has been obtained." 1 New Artillery and Cavalry for Regular Army Washington, July 23. Eight new regiments of cavalry, equipped and trained as artillery, will be added to the regular army as quickly as they can be organized, by orders issued today. Provisions for the new cavalry units was authorized in the army bill, but the need for more artillery caused the War department to add them to the service as handlers of the big guns. Other cavalry units being organized are being given graining to fit them for infantry work FRENCHMEN SHOUT VERDUN WATCHWORD Charging Regiments Melt Away in Face of Withering Fire as Teutons Attempt to Regain Lost Positions. (By Associated Press.) Grand Headquarters of the French Army in France, July 24. The watch word of the French troops at Ver-: dun "They shall not pass" has ap plied equally to the Champagne, and. the French today showed the crown prince's army that the Chemi.. . i Dames was a closed road to them. Sunday morning the Germans made in great force their fortieth attempt since the French captured Craonr.e. May 4, to secure possession of the famous road. This effort was one of the biggest offensive movements they had made since Verdun, so far as ar tillery was coneerned and proved an undoubted failure. Four o'clock was striking when a terrific bombardment was opened along the front extending from just west of Cerny to Berry-AurBac. The front lines and rear position and all the roads leading thereto were deluged with shells, both great and small, as well as asphyxiating projec tiles. At 5 o'clock the German infantry started from their trenches. The greatest concentrations advanced be tween Hurtebizc and Casemate! plateau and between Casemates and Californie plateau, where it was evi dently hoped to rush Craonne. The correspondent was posted where he could observe the entire battle front along the crest, which stood out in ihe clearest atmosphere, but rolling along it and over it were dense clouds of black, brown, gray and white smoke from tens of thou sands of shells. It was known that the Prussian guards and several other divisions faced the French positions, while oth er fresh troops were hurrying across the Ailette valley from the north. The French gun: did not remain long mute, but answered shot for shot, and when the German reinforcements were observed approaching they poured a hurricane of projectiles di rectly into them, creating great con fusion and causing heavy losses. , Rifle and machine gun fire began crackling while the trench mortars hurled torpedoes, and the rifle grena diers opened a wicked barrage fire, as soon as the Germans, who had been awaiting the prearranged signal to spring forward, began to leave their jumping off parallels. German shock units, as usual, led the way, followed by waves of ordi nary Infantry who wers to occupy, and organiie any ground captured. In the sector from Hurtcbize to Case mates plateau the attacking forces soon melted to a thin line under the. withering French fire which met them and those still able retreated hurried ly to their own line, which meanwhile came under an inferno of French shell fire that must have made the Ger man trenches untenable. In the same period, from Case mates to Californie plateau, other German troops were suffering heav ily under similar conditions. But sev eral times here they gained small por tions of the French front, although nowhere did they reach the crest it self. Where their line bent momentarily the French troops organized immedi ate counter attacks and reconquered nearly everything temporarily taken from them. ' . , A French captain who fell wounded 1 early in the day and was captured by the Germans was later-rescued by his own men when the Germans were forced back. He affirmed that German soldiers, among whom he lay, de clared that several waves of German troops, when ordered to go over the top, refused to venture into the ter rific fire which swept away everything in the open. . . Aviators were busy throughout the day and cometimes the sky was al most covered with the smoke from the shrapnel bursting around them. . It was a 'bad day for an infantry attack, because the clearness of the air made every movement, even in the narrow communication trenches, visi ble to the airmen and the observers in kite balloons. Th ealn of a few hundred yards; of a front line trench, which Is all that remains in German hands, ap pears small compensation for the fierce fifirhtinar in the forty attacks of the last ten weeks, during which con servative estimates place the uer man losses in the vicinity of the' Chemin-Des-Dames alone at six; figures.
