SIT M7 Cattle A thousand fresh cattle showed up today, and fair receipt. on Saturday are getting to be the rule rsther than th ex ception owing to th difficulty shippers are having In getting cars. Receipts for th week have been a little over 11,000 head, or 0.S00 more than last week, and some 15,000 more than for th corresponding week year ago. Demand for beef steers and butcher stock was rather Indifferent today, and trading slow at steady to somewhat lower prices all around. Compared with the close of last week the general market Is around 25040a lower, the brunt of the de cline falling on th medium to pretty good stock. In stockers snd feeders th country demand hss been very disappointing, and al though prices ar now anywhere from 250 S0o lower than a week ago, the clo of th week finds more stockers and feeders on band than at any time during the winter.

Export business upheld grain value today notwithstanding fin weather likely to faoliltat th movement of the crop. Corn cloeed steady at the same ss yeaterdsy's finish, with March tl.27. and May fl 27. Oats finished a shad off to He up.. Provisions gained lOo to (So. Ideal conditions for transferring corn to primary terminals existed, and It seamed likely thst heavy arrivals her would be the rule during at least ths first part of next week. The fact that low grade corn was meeting with only limited Inaulrv on- orated to as a bearish factor. Any weaken ing from such Influences, however, wer soon completely offset by a good demand which dryers maintained for all corn of desirable quality, Th evident reason was that th dryers were accumulating as much corn as possible, which would be suited for shipments to th entente allies. Export ssles this wsek wer estimated at 100,000 ouaneis. Som strength In th March delivery of oat resulted from the purohsa of 200,000 bushels at St Louis for export. May was eased by besrlsh field advices from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Higher Quotations on hovs torether with th smallness of th stook of lard her gavs lift to provisions.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press ) London, Sept. 15. Ten thousand Serbian girls from 10 to 14 years old have been kidnapped and deported from Serbia to the harems of Con stantinople, to Bulgaria and Asia Minor, says advices received by M. Pasitch, the Serbian premier, who is now in London. "These deportations," said M. Paskch, "have been going on since February. 1916, but the number was very limited until a few weeks ago. Now it has been systematized under Bulgarian controllers, and it is impos sible to predict how far it will go. "Eight thousand girls have been sent to Constantinople, and 2,000 more, to Bulgaria and Asia Minor. Prison-' ers whom we have taken on the Sa-' loniki front tell us that the traffic in our girlhood has grown to be a by-; word in Bulgaria and Turkey. ' "The girls are kidnapped and taken,' away secretly, particularly from the smaller villages, until at present doz ens of small towns have been quite denuded of the young female popula tion. "I do not think that the Turks are the actual instigators of this gross violation of the rules of civilized war fare. All our information indicates that the Bulgarians are the prime movers and the Turks only incidental beneficiaries of the traffic. "The girls are too young to be of any use for laboring purposes, besides, neither- Turkey nor Bulgaria is seri ously handicapped for labor, and in Turkey the use of young women for outdoor work is practically unknown. "It is very difficult for us to do any thing to help these unfortunate vic tims. Our affairs in Constantinople and Sofia are now in the hands of the Dutch government, and we have made the most earnest possible protests through that government. But you know how difficult it is to get any action from Turkey. We have sug gested, for instance, that some scheme of repatriation be put into effect immediately, that the girls should be sent back to some place be yond the war zone. But I fear it is too late to save them, and that we can only wait in patience until peace comes." nesday at 2; Young People's society, Wed nesday, 8. St Marks, Twentieth and Burdette.
