BUILDING A TRENCH RAILWAY IN FRANCE Behind the lines in every offensive are
waiting the thousands of engineers, skilled workmen and ordinary laborers, prepared to
undertake the task of making passable reconquered territory and destroyed roads and rail
roads. Every advance means new trenches constructed or reconstructed in advanced ter
ritory, and every trench must have railways operating within a convenient distance of it
in order that supplies and ammunition may be brought up as speedily at possible. ' The
men in the photograph are shown building such a railway line leading to new trenches of
the French on the western front

Cattle This week In the cattle trade has
been one of the worst experienced In a good
while. Demand has been pretty good for a
tew of the good choice weighty beeves and
yearlings, and on these kinds there has
been no price change, both kinds being
quotable as -high as 813.75. Outside the
choice class, however, there has teen a
slump In beef steers which amounts to any
where from 25c to 75a or 31.00, and the
market has been draggy at that.
Cows and mixed stock show declines of
60o or more, and some traders are quoting
pretty good to best cows as much as 31.00
lower, medium stuff snd canners showing
the least break. Veal calves are around
50o off, with the best selling ss high as
313.00, and the bulk from 312.50 down
ward. .

Hogs After a weak opening the hog mar
ket braced up and bulk of the hogs sold
fully steady, with the better time Friday.
Offerings were fairly large, as' they in
cluded some fifteen or twenty carloads held
over from yesterday's close, and fresh re
ceipts were about 9,200 head. Chicago re
ported a sharp advance. They had a light
supply there today and unless the threat
ened strike Is settled they will get very
few hogs next week, but as embargoes on
shipments to Chicago will make heavier
runs here the advance there had no ef
fect on this market. Bulk sold today
around $14.50014.80, with the best butchers
up to $15.60, the top.
Compared with a week ago, the general
run of hogs Is selling around" 15c higher;
some of the , best may be as much as
25a up.

Short Covering Again Para
mount Influence in Day's
Light Operations on
'Change.
New Tork, July 28. Professional traders
had the field to themselves In this week's
negligible dealings, which Incidentally has
marked the third anniversary of the war.
Price again responded to bear pressure,
prompted by adverse developments at horns
and across the water, together with the
utter lack of public Inquiry for stocks.
War prices and taxes again engaged at
tention. This situation was emphasised by
the presentation of the Treasury depart
ments $6,000,000,000 budget and mounting
cost of the war. Bankers also viewed with
misgiving the steady outflow of the coun
try's gold, large additional amounts being
shipped to Japan. Spain and South America.
Railroad earnings for June ars showing
up very favorably and crop prospects, ex
cept In isolated spots are Increasingly
bright.
Forecasts of the United States Steel earn
nlngs for the second quarter, to be pub
lished next Tuesday, range from $15,000,060
to $25,00,000 over those of the preceding
period, although allowance Is made for
changed conditions In that industry. General
trade is reported to be satisfactory, but au
thorities lay more than ordinary stress upon
the undertone of conservatism, due to uncer
tain government regulations.
Short covering was again the paramount
Influence In today's light operations, the
oversold condition of. the list being seen In
the I to 3 points gains, recorded by leading
stocks, notably war Issues.
Advances were largely surrendered In the
profit-taking of the last hour, the market
closing, however, with a firm tone. Shlpplna,
motors, leathers and secondary specialties
shared In the temporary rise, but rails were
Ignored throughout, the only feature In that
division being St, Paul, which retained halt
of its 3-polnt gain. .
United States Steel mt one time showed
a 1 point rise at 123, but forfeited virtually
all of its advantage; other industrials and
equipments reacting similarly. Industrial Al
cohol was 4 points at Its1 top. on active
trsdlng. but yielding In part
Metals and shippings were inconspicuous
except for Atlantic,. Oulf and West Indies,
which rose almost 2 points on 1 Its May
statement of earnings, but soon fell back.
Total sales amounted to 225,000 shares.
The bank statement reported an actual
loss of almost $50,000,000 In reserves of
members, held by the federal reserve bank,
and a deoreass of slightly more than $37,
000,000 In excess reserves, sttll leaving the
total excess well mors than $100,000,000.
Bonds were Irregular on very limited of
ferings, the Liberty Issue being quoted at
99.38o to 99,40c, with occasional sales as
low as 99.35. Total sales par value aggre

CHICAGO CHAIN AND PROVISIONS.
All Around Advance Noted In Prices Dm to
Strike Anxiety.
Chlcsgo. July 38. Anxiety over shipping
complications due to the switchmen's strike
did a good deal today to cause an all around
advance In values of grain and provisions.
Corn finished strong, e to 3e net higher,
with September st $1.68, and December at
$1.19 to $1.19. Wheat closed unsettled.
3c to 8c up, at $2.80 July and $3.2$ Septem
ber. Oats s howed a jump of lo to lo
and provisions lOo to 37o.
Disturbing effects of the strike msnl
fested themselves, especially In ths corn
trade, where shorts made a genftra! rush
to cover and speculative buying was active.
In addition to ths strlks, continued drouth
damage reports tended to lift prices. Com
plaints that Injury had been rendered worse
by extreme heat referred to a broad stretch
Hhat Included much of Texas. Oklahoma,
Kansas and Nebraska. ' Notwithstanding
that the hot weather was conceded to be of
great benefit to the crop In the central belt,
demand form eleventh hour bulls and from
uneasy shorts could not bs satisfied until
the market had soared about 4c. Realising
of profits by holders became somewhat free
at the top of the bulge. In the absence,
however, of any sign of Immediate relief
from either ths strlks or ths drouth, no Im
portant set back In prices took place.
Unfavorable crop news from North Dakota
and western Canada Increased bullish- senti
ment regarding wheat. The chief other
bullish factor aside from ths Indirect In
fluence of ths strike wss the prospect of
final agseement of ths terms of ths food
control bill, with a provision for a generous
minimum fixed pries to bs paid for wheat
at primary centers.
Despite ths outlqpk for a hugs erop. the
oats market rose with eern. Ths strike of
switchmen here gave reason for serious ap
prehension that ths movement of the crop
might be delayed.
Strlks difficulties eurtallng the arrival
of hogs ted to a decided upturn In provi
sions. Belgian relief purchases counted also
as an element of strength. -

at a le advance, while the off grades sold
at generally lower prices. A few cars of new

oats brought 76 c. No. 3 white sold gen
erally at 76c, No. 4 whits sold all the
way from 70 to'73o and ths sample grade

ON TRANSPORT DUTY
Think He Was on U. S. Ships

Elmer H. McCune, an Omaha boy,
who two months ago made his second
enlistment in the navy, is believed by
Edwin L. Huntley, his uncle, to have
been on one of the transports' which
carried the second American contin
gent of soldiers to France. McCune
has been a member of Mr. Huntley's
family since he was a child.

liner, interned when 'war broke
out. He said the vessel was then be

Young McCune re-enlisted in the'
naval reserve, but his former four
years' service made it possible for him
to secure higher rating than his .dis
charge showed. J
He is a big fellow, of athletic build,: .
and was champion boxer on the
Rhode Island when he left the navy
two years ago.
He declares he will return with a
commission and those who know him
best expect him to make good. He
is now first-class seaman, with rat

Armour Girjs Supply the
Soldiers With Fine Kits
Armour's hospital class is doing
more than "sewing shirts for sdl
diers." They are making comfort kits;
for them. They have already made
fifty and have started more. These
are the most complete kits made by
any hospital unit in Omaha. They
contain tobacco, playing cards, soap,'
writing paper, scissors, shoe laces,
drinking cup, a knife, a comb, a tooth
brush and tooth paste, and a "housewife."-
All of these "first aids for
homesickness" are packed compactly t
into an olive drab bag which occu
pies very little space and weighs al
most nothing. ':
The kits are not cheap. The girls
have been able to buy almost all of
the articles at wholesale, but, even
then, they cost more than $3 apiece.
They will be given to the men
from Armour's packing company who
go to war. ,
