Cattle Receipts moderated a little tods.
but the run was fairly liberal at that about
6.300 head, fully 80 per cent of them being
western grassers. As usu .1 of late, choice
cornfed beeves have been scarce, and cattle
selling from 212.00 to 314.00. the latter being
ui nigoesc price ever paid here, were quo
tably steady to strong. Ths same was true
as to choice grassers, selling around 310.50
ana on up. un tne general run of
half-fat and grassy cattle, however, the
market was slow and unsvenly lower, mostly
10lto lower than yaaterdav and 9KAin
lower than a week ago.
Cows and heifers were In tolerably llharal
supply and sot very vigorous demand from
any quarter. The market waa Inclined to
be draggy, with prices weak to 10 Cite
lower than yesterday and around 60e lower
than a year ago.
There was not much dotn tn fn.fc.r.
and feeders. Supplies were not as heivv
as on Monday and quality was not vary
gooa, and demand from the countrv w
decidedly slsok. Tone to the trade was
weak and prices unevenly lower.

CHICAGO CBAIN MARKET.
Month-End Sqoeese of Shorts Causes Wheat
ana uaie ta rfunip 11 ana 1 vents.
Chicago. July 31. Tn a last-of-the-month
queese today shorts had to bid July wheat
up 12ca bushel and July oats up 11 Vic An
even more acute pinch tn settling July corn
contracts wss sverted by recent action of
the Board of Trade directors whereby sll
freth dealings In the July delivery were for
bidden. Corn closed nervous. iSc off to He
up, with September 21.64 H and December
$1.1701,17. Wheat finished unsettled,
varying from 7c decline to 12c advance, at
13. 74 for July and 12.17 for September. The
outcome In oats ranged from fcc setback to
a gain of t14c net.
Provisions showed a rise of 12937c except
July pork, which lost 20c.
Aside from the flurries which attended the
windup of July contracts In wheat and oats,
the main Interest centered In free selling of
new crop deliveries of corn. The general
run of crop reports, except from Kannas
and Oklahoma were favorable. Benldes fore
casts pointed to cooler weather with show
ere, and there were hopes that this might
extend to the southwest. Demand for corn
for Immediate use. especially by distillers,
remained so urgent that cash corn and the
September option rose to new hluh price rec
ords. No. 2 yellow touching 12.23. about
quadruple ordinary values before the war.
July wheat scored gains during the laet
fifteen minutes of the session, which outdid
the total advance made, In alt the rest of the
day put together. Meanwhile the Septem
ber delivery of wheat had a continuous
downward bend, owing to rains In the north
west auguring well for tho Improvement of
the spring crop.
A lump to ths unprecedented price of 90
a busbet was forced in the July delivery of
oats before the wants of shorts were satis
fied. Then the market suddenly broke to
82c, but again shot up to 86c just at ths
close. Deferred options were easy.
Active call for lard lifted the provisions
market sharply. Cash trade wss more prom
ising and buyers were encouraged because of
an upturn In the value of cottonseed oil.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Technical Reason, for Sapid
and Steady Rise of Stocks
in Wall Street Session.
New York, July SI. Probsbly In anticipa
tion ot a favorabls report by the United
States Steel corporation for the second
quarter, but more likely becauss of tech
nical conditions, today's esrly slock mar
kst moved steadily upward. Extensive sell
Ing In the last hour more than obliterated
some ot these gains, the list closing with
an Irregular tone.
Steels and moat ot the war and semi-war
descriptions rose 1 to almost t points in
the forenoon and motors. In which a large
short Interest la said to exlet. acored gross
gains of 1 to 1H points on active dealings.
Coppers, sugars, tobaccos and lesthsrs
shared unevenly In the temiorary rise, gains
varying from 1 to I points. Ralls ware
more prominent than usual, being helped to
higher levela by the decision of the Inter
state Commerce commission allowing higher
ratea for coal and coke In western and
southern sections, hut the late selling also
affected that division.
The etcel statement which was not Usued
until after the close of the senelon, dl
clojicd total earnings ot 110,171,304. Steel

Berlin Paper Optimistic
.In Review of Third War Year
Berlin (Via London), July 31. In
its review of the third year of the
world war the Tageblatt points out
that the armiet of Germany and its
allies have conquered more than half
a million square kilometera of en
tente territory and asserts that tne
military strefitfth of the central
powers, instead of decreasing, has in
creased, while that ot ffance nas
visibly diminished. The newspaper
says the German ceopie nave plainly
announced their readiness for peace,
and expresses the hope that common
cense and a sincere desire tor tne ces
sation of hostilities will assert them
selves in the ranks of Germany's ad
versaries.

Women Laborers Successful
In Chicago Car Plant
Chicaeo. July 31. Employment of
several hundred women as laborers by
the Ryan Car olant. South Chicago,
begun as an experiment several weeks
ago, has proven so successful that a
number of other large manufacturers
are considering the advisability ot
adopting the plan. The women range
in me from 18 to 45 years, receive 30
cents an hour and work eight hours
day.
Exnenence has ahown that in the
lighter tasks the women perform as
much work as men. but in the heavier
lines one man will often do twice as
much work at a woman. The women
wear overalls and are provided with
special washrooms.

LUTHERANS INVITE
PUBLICTOFESTIVAL
Celebration of Four Hundredth
Anniversary of Reformation
Will Be Held With Elaborate
Program in Western Iowa.
An invitation to the observance of
the 400th anniversary or the Reforma
tion has been extended to Lutherans,
particularly Danish Lutherans, of the
middle west by the Danish Lutheran
churches of Audubon, Cass and Pot
tawattamie counties in Iowa. The fes
tival will be held August 12 to 14 at
Bethany church, near Kimbillton, ,
Harlan, la., and Atlantic.
James C Peterson, pastor of Har
lan Lutheran church and secretary of
the program committee, writes as fol
lows about the festival:
"October 31 this year will mark the .
400th anniversary of - the Reforma
tion, a movement considered by the
principal historians as the germ of all
our modern liberty, not only religious,
but civil as well.
"Therefore, at various times during
the year 1917 large meetings o fes
tivities are being held in commemora
tion of the Reformation in nearly all
Protestant denominations of the
world. Our main purpose with thjs
celebration is not to extol Luther or
other great reformers, but rather to
remind ourselves of the resutts of
their labors that we might come to a f
better realization of those truths
which will never die."
War No Hindrance.
There is no reason why the present
war should in any way hlndet oir
general observance of this anntver-
""Let it not disturb us that a few
German pastors never learned to dis
tinguish between Lutheranism and ;
Germanism and, therefore, are getting
themselves into trouble.
"Nor let any on. be ashamed 0? our
church because the National Defense
council in one of the states of the
union has made the inexcusable mis
take to use the name of one of the
largest denominations in the world
In connec:on with treason, instead of
dealing strictly and officially with each
individual guilt of disloyalty, It is
Indeed very proper that we thould
celebrate the great Reformation dufing
the pfescnt crisis. For,- though our
celebration be of tv religious' charac
ter, w hall bea. i.i mit,d'tha. i-.c
principle fo- which this country is
now involved in war, is vefy much in
harmony with the principle of Luther .
and other men of the Reformation. It
ia an historical fact that the Refor
mation fostered political democracy.
Effect of Reformation. V
"Says Fisher: The Ref6rmtiou
made free Netherlands: the Reform",
tion male free EngUnd, or was un es
sential agent in this work; the P.efor
mation made he f e repub' if
America.' Say Thomai Carlyle. 'Lu
ther's appearance at th Djei of
Worms is the greatest moment in the
modern history of men. English
Puritanism, England and Hs parlia
ments, America and the vast work
of these two centuries, French revo
lution, the germ of it all lay there.'
"Danish Lutheran churches of $hef
by, Audubon, Cats and Pottawattamie
counties desire hereby to extend a .
cordial welcome to all who may wish
to attend our Reformation' Festival,
August 12 to 14, 1917.
"The speakers who have been se
cured for the occasion are: Rev. S. P.
Long, D. D., of Mansfield, 0.; Rev.
N.'J. Bing of Racine, Wis.; Rev. Kr.
Anker of Lincoln, Neb., formerly
president Elk Horn college, and Prof.
N. P. Lang of Trinity seminary, Blair,
Neb. '
"Dr. S. P. Long will speak in the
English language, the others in Da
nish. So we invite those who do not
understand the Danish, especially, to
come and hear Dr. Long. This man
has won a reputation all over the
country as a pulpit orator."
