Cattle Receipts were very moderate again
today, around 6,000 head and made up very
largely of western rangers. The two days'
supply has been nearly 4,000 head short of a
week ego and there has been a very per
ceptible Improvement In the general demand.
Prices were a shade stronger for both corn
fed and grass beeves, and the general mar
ket for killing stock Is around 1020o bet
ter than It was last woek. Choice kinds
were comparatively scarce, and the Improve
ment was mostly on the medium to pretty
good grades.
Cows and heifers showed even more Im
provement than beef steers, and bulk of the
butcher and canner stock Is selling 20fi30c
better than last week. Demand from both
local packers and outside buyers Is active
and competition from feeder buyers has In
creased the activity of late. Veal calves,
bulls, stags, etc., were In good request at
somewhat firmer figures, and the general
trade showed more activity than for some
time past.
In stockers and feeders the demand was
actually greater than the supply for the
first time In several weeks. All grades
were In good request and prices ranged from
50c to $1.60 better than at the extreme low
time a week ago today.

for the few lambs packers were able to
get yesterday.
Sheep were nearly steady. On psper values
looked a little lower, but considering the

were moderatoly hoavy.
The tone of the ensti wheat market was,
however, considerably stronger with prices
quoted from So to 3c higher, but sellers
reported only a limited milling Inquiry for
the better grades and, as a result, only a
small number of sales were reported up
to closing time.
The corn market was a trifle easier with
the bulk of today's offerings selling at
prices ruling from steady to lc lower snd
while the demand for this cereal seemed
active enough the sellers did not rare
to let go on the decline and quite a numbor
of samples were held over.
The oats market ruled from 1 to 3Hc
lower and the demand for this cereal was
not overactive, although receipts were fairly
heavy.

the spring varieties sold at a fractional ad
vanre over tho hard winter, the No. J
spring bringing $2.820283, while No, t

dence, the better grades of this varieties
selling at I3.3SM, while th yellow brought

Demands of Industrials for New
Capital and a Reduction of

New Tork. Aug. 7. Intlmatlona that sev
eral of the leading Industrial companies
may find It necessary to engage In new
financing, announcement of the reduction of
the Stiidebaker quarterly dividend from !'
to 1 per cent and the reported Insistence of
the administration that war prices to the
allies must undergo radical downward re
vision, were responsible for the occasional
unsettlement manifested by today's stock
market.
Uelhlchem Steel old stork broke 4U
points and the new 2V. Studebsker msde
an extreme reaction of 4 points, and other
war descriptions fell 1 tn 8 points.
Trading languished after the first hour,
but pools were again active In tobaccoes and
sugars. Nw high records were made by
American Sumatra tobacco at 664, tobacco
products at 704 and United Cigar Stores at

United States Steel started off Impres
sively, but soon reacted 114 points to 1264
closing at 126, a net loss of ?4 of a point
Other Industrials and equipments pursued
much the same course, a few ending at
moderate gains.
Standard stocks were relegated to minor
positions until the final hour, when Invest
ment rails, marines and American Interna
tional corporation developed sudden activ
ity and strength, gaining 1 to 3 points.
I'tllltlos such as Brooklyn Transit, Consoli
dated Una and American Telophone ad
vanted one point gains, offset, however, by
1 to s points recessions In Ohio gas, West

MANY CHANGES IN
ENGLI8HSEA RULE
Numerous Shifts Are Expected
to Result in More Direct
Administration of Brit
ain's Great Fleet.
London, Monday, Aug. 6. (De-
layed.) Official announcement was
made at the admiralty tonight that
Admiral Sir Cecil Burney, second sea
lord, had been replaced by Vice Ad
miral Sir Roselyn Wemyss. Alan Gar
rett Anderson, hitherto vice chairman
of the wheat commission, succeeds Sir
hrich Campbell Geddes, the new first
lord of the admiralty, as controller ot
naval construction.
The chances in the British admir
alty are attracting much attention and
are interpreted as the first step 111 a
reorganization which it is supposed
sir hnc Campbell Geddes. hrst lord
of the admiralty, was appointed to
carry out.
In quarters where the existing ad
miralty methods are regarded as un
satisfactory, the present step is de
nounced as a "procrastinatory half
measure" and it is declared the change
ought to have been so complete as to
"give the country a resolute and ener
getic admiralty permeated by an of
fensive spirit.'
Duties to Be Rearranged.
An official statement contains the.
announce nicnt that an opportunity is
to he taken of the appointment of
Vice Admiral Sir Kosslyn Wemyss
to rearrange the duties of the second
sea lord of the admiralty, who will be
relieved of detailed administrative
work connected with the personnel
of the fleet.
This is interpreted as meaning that
the second sea lord will not be tram
melled by details which subordinates
can handle, but will be associated
more closely than was his predeces
sor with the preparation of war
plans.
Another change in the admiralty
is the removal of Sir William Gra
ham Greene from the permanent sec
retaryship at the admiralty to a sec
retaryship in the ministry of muni
tions under Winston Spencer
Churchill. Sir- William's departure
from the admiralty is regard-' as of
considerable importance, a.
of permanent secretary, wl
held since 1911. has been !
sponsible for the contiuuitj
admiralty tradition and policy.
ost
'as
t is
this continuity which is regarded by
many as a most dangerous factor in
that it hinders initiative and adaptabil
ity to current needs.
Mrs. De Saulles Will Ask to
Be Removed to Hospital
Mineola. N. Y.. Auir. 7. An an-
plication for the removal to a hos
pital ot Mrs. iiianca de Saulles, held
in the county jail here for the mur
der of her former husband, John
Longer de Saulles, is expected to be.
made today or Wednesday. This an
nouncement was made by her attor
ney after three physicians had ex
amined his client and decided that her
life was being; endangered by keep
ing her in prison.
The mother of Mrs. le Saulles
cabled from Valparaiso, Chile, that
she will leave there Wednesday for
New York with another daughter.
Miss Amalie Errazuriz-Vergara, and
her son, William Errazuriz. The mes
sage also said the mother would give
every aid possible to her daughter,
indicatin&r that the wealth and influ
ence of the family would be used, not
oniy to detend the daughter, but to
obtain the oermanent eustodv of the
4j4-year-old son for the mother.
CHICAGO GRAIN AJili fHO VISIONS.
Cora Opens Lower Because of Italns, But
Rises on Scanty Offerings.
Chicago, Aug. 7. Although generous rains
that promised to enlarge tho yield of corn
had a bearish Influence for a while today
on prices of that cereal, the fact that rural
offerings were not large and that no big
movement soon was expected led afterward
to a reaction. The market closed steady.
H8Cc net higher with December at
81.18 and Jlfty at 11.1384 1. 18. Wheat
gained Ho and closed steady st 82.25. Oats
finished unchanged to ijo lower and pre
visions down 7o to 30c.
At first the corn market showed a decided
downward tendency, owning to the emphasis
which drenching rains throughout the west
had given to the optimistic outlook for this
season's crop. Gossip wus sure that as a.
result of favorable conditions which have
prevailed of late, the 1917 yield would be
fully 100,000,000 bushels In excess ot any
previous record. The fact soon became evi
dent, however, that offerings were not as
targe as most traders had expected from
such circumstances. Then too, talk grew
somewhat general that no big movement
from rural holders could be looked for until
the sarety of the new crop had been more
thoroughly assured. A material bulge In
prlres followed, but on the upturn an In
crease of selling was noticeable, and In the
nnd a timall portion only ot the galna were
held.
Complaints of dry weather damage in
Canada tended to lift wheat values. Prev
iously the market hud been on tho down
grade, owing to Increased arrivals of new
wheat from the domestic winter crop region.
I'rospects of a bumper yield of oats rnad
tho outs market relatively easy. There wers
forecasts thut the government report tomor
row would show a. likelihood of 600,000,0011
bushels more being harvested than was tho
cape a year ago.
Higher quotations on hogs put temporary
strengih Inlo provisions. Holders were
quick, though, to seize the cham-e to reallie.
and before the day was over the gains had
all much more thun been wiped out.
Coffee. Market.
New York. Aug. 7. Coffee The market
