Cattle Receipts of cattle were not as
liberal as dealers expected, about 6,600 head,
and the two days' supply in fully 6,600
sh.-rt of the same two days a year ago
Offerings included scarcely any cornfed
beeves, but the few that were here sold
rapWly at higher prices. On the grass beeves
market was active and fully 1015o higher
than yesterday, best grassers selling up
around ii2.no. ,
Cows and heifers were also In active re
quest and lS(P26o higher than Monday. Sup
piles were moderate and the demand very
keen, both from killers and feeder buyers.
Veal calves, bulls, etc., were just about
steady. t
Business In stockers and feeders was de
cidedly active. Both yard traders and
country buyers had liberal orders to fill
and the very moderate offerings forced tham
to pay stiff prices for anything they wanted
In general stock cattle and feeding steers
are selling $1.0061.10 higher than ten days
or two weeks ago.

CHICAGO CHAIN MARKET.
Peace Proposals lead to Much Belling, but
Supplies Fads Awayi Market Closes Nervous,
Chicago, Aug. 14. Notwlthstsnlng that
peace proposals led to much selling today In
the corn market, the rapid fading away or
immediately available supplies proved much
more than an offset. As a result, prices
closed nervous, 14 1140 net higher, at
$1.16 for December and $1.18149113 for
May. Wheat finished steady at unchanged
figures, $2.04 for September. Oats gained
'4c to U90 net and provisions varied from
the same as yesterday's close to 660 down.
Word of the new peace move led Imme
diately to something ot a sotback In prices,
but the ascent of prices Was not long In
terrupted at any time, and the attention of
traders appeared to be centered chiefly on
the readiness with which all offerings were
absorbed, whether for Immediate or future
delivery, in this connection, tne rsct was
noted that with feeding demand on the In
crease, total stocks In sight had shrunk
646,000 bushels within a week and now
aggregated but little In excess ot a third
of the total a year ago.
Wheat trading was at a complete stand
still the greater part of the session, as far
as futures were concerned. Appearances In
dicated that In accord with government
policy, all outstanding deals soon would be
settled. Price changes were too slight to
ave any special significance.
' Talk ot export business at the seaboard
tended to lift the oats market Corn
strength was also a bullish influence.
Provisions broke sharply, despite an ad
vance In hog quotations. Free offerings of
lard from Important sources were respon
sible.

Active Trading Promised at
Outset Gives Way to Re
verses Upon Peace
Proposals.
New Tork, Aug. 11. Tha stock market
gave promise at the outset of today's more
active trading of continuing Its Irregular
rise of the previous sessfbn, but reversed Its
course on extensive selling prompted by the
peace proposals from Rome.
Additional reason for concern was fur
nished by the gyrations of various special
ties under pool control. General Motors
was a typical Instance, opening at an ad
vance of 614 points and driving the shorts
In thai and other speculative Issues to
hasty retreat.
War shares were steadily liquidated after
petoa reports gained currency. United States
Steel fell to 113V. finishing a slight frac
tion above Its minimum. Sugars yielded
1 to 3 points, with leathers and secondary
equipments. In general, final prices were
only slightly over lowest quotations. Total
sales. 601,000 shares.
Liberty bonds were again In demand, the
activity In that Issue at 99.91 to par. at
which thty closed, making up a considerable
part of the enlarged dealings In that divi

RUSS MOLDAVIA
LINEIN DANGER
Yon Mackenzen's Troops Force
Russians and Roumanians
to Sereth River; Capture '
Railroad Center.
(By Associated Tress.)
The Russians and Roumanians, hav
ing been forced to give up the Fok-shani-Marasecliti
line and retire to the
Sereth river, Field Marshal von Mack
enzen has been enabled to capture
Pantziu, a railway town west of
Marasechti. By taking the town the
Teutons probably have cut the rail
way line north, imperilling the Rus
sians and Roumanians, fighting in
western Moldavia around Ocna, as
the railroad north from Marasechti
was one of their two means of obtain
ing supplies and reinforcements.
Infantry Attacks Weak.
Infantry fighting on the western
front, especially in Flanders, has not
been marked during the last twenty
four hours. In southern Moldavia,
the Teuton drive against the Russians
and Roumanians progresses.
In Flanders the Anglo-French and
German troops apparently are resting
in preparation for further infantry
activity. The Germans can hardly
permit the British to hold the im
portant salient east of Ypres and be
tween Pilkem and Hollebeke without
first making additional efforts to
straighten out their front. By widen
ing the salient, Field Marshal Haig
adds to the insecurity of the German
line from Dixmude north to the coast,
as well as the front southward toward
Lens.
French troops again have repulsed
German efforts a1ong the Aisne front
Sunday night und on Monday the
Teutons tried to recapture the ground
lost to the French south of Ailles. The
French threw back all the attacks.
East of the positions the French took
the offensive and succeeded in mak
ing a small advance. F.lsewhere on
the French front the artillery fighting
continues violent i
Lens Center of Fighting.
British Front in France and Bel
gium, Aug. 13. Lens was the center
of the main activity on the British
front last night. The Germans con
tinued to exhibit signs of apprehen
sion in a heavy bombardment of the
back approaches near Vimy and to tin
west and northwest of the city.
The Canadian lines have been
gradually tightening about this im
portant French mining center and the
Canadians now hold strong positions
in the western environs. This appar
ently has been disturbing to the
Germans, who have placed a high
value on the retention of Lens, be

Tas De Calais coal fields,
Yesterday was another big day for
the British aviators. A large number of
battles were fought over this front,
with the honors decidedly in favor of
the British. At least six enemy air
planes were destroyed and nine other
machines were brought down out of
control.
In the course of last week's air
fighting one brilliant young Britisher
accounted for his i jrtieth machine. ,

London, Aug. 14. Russian circles
in Switzerland, a dispatch to the Daily

sky in talking with personal friends
