Other “markets, particularly reported fresh declines today, and while locul shipper buyers were not very ac tive early the short local run proved to be a bulllsh factor and bulk of the hogs #sold on & strong to bc higher basis. rly bids were fully steady, but before many hogs sold packers ralsed their hands a little and put up the big end of their droves on a strong to bc higher basis, many sales showing flat oc advance! Shippers got In to & limited extent after packers started the trade. As a general thing movement was fairly active, and a falr clearance was made before 10 o'clock, Packers as well as shippers showed u preference for the good light and butcher weight hogs, and holders of cholce heavies had some difficulty in got- ting higher prices for them, although they were finally cleaned up on about the same basis a4 other grades. Bulk of the day's sales was made at {0.0600.2, with o sprinkling of common ight and mixed stuff on down, and a fair showing of best butchers and heavies up to $9.30, the top. SHEEEP—The sheep and lamb run was less than half as large as on most re cent Fridays, ten cars or 2,014 head mak- ing_ up the day's quota. Kive days' supplies foot up to 43,606 head, being 4 larger than last week, and 11,000 heavier than two weeks ago, ‘but smaller than for the same perfod last year by 6000 head. Instead of ralsing thelr hands yester- day, packers if anything trimmed early bids a little, and what sales were made in the aflernoon were about & quarter lower than the previous day. Even at over, packers came nowh eaning them up, and upw dozen cars, all cf lambs, were arded. Today with nothing held over, and only four doubles and a single of lambs in the receipts, there were hardly enough here to make a market. The tendency was, however, easler. Nothing cholce was offered, and there was little chance te mako mccurate comparisons, but the feellng was In the neighborhood of 100 lower than yesterday's c One load of good light fed westorn lambs was hed at $11.20, while three londs of Unfiniahod stuft’ went for shearing Dupe poses at $10.65 with 100 head out, Traders Protessed ignarance as to where choloe mbas would sell, but ventured the opin- ion that §11.2 would stop oven best Mexlcans. As compared with th® high time Monday choice lumbs are wround S lower, with ‘welghty krades showing & 8041760 decline, while beat handyweights wre 30400 under last week's close, and other grades 60c or possibly a little more down, ~ Towards the last end of the week, buyers of shearing lambs were about the only ones who would touch anything welghty, Id muttons made up over half the total receipts, and while owing to scarcity of supplies all week demand was fair, the market was late, sellers belng un- willing to make the 10c_reductions asked by packers. Buyers, however, refused to budge from the first offers, and when holdings were finally cashed ft \was at a dime decline. Best ewes sold to $8.60, some belng another cut of the same stuff that sold at 8560 yesterday, Two cars of good yearlings made $10.20, ax againat $10.%0 for thelr mates yesterday. As pared with last week's close aged sheep show almost no decline, current values being only a quarter under the high time Monday.

On the prev fous occasion the Germans had advanced | their lines east of the river to the center girdle of forts and had carrled Douau mont and the adjoining redoubts. The French then retained the west bank of the river for a distance of three miles north of the line of Douaumont and were maintaining a harassing artillery fire from the helghts on this bank against the German flank and rear ned Germans o ne of rac French Cleared from Reglon, 1t was y to clear from this region befa the German attack against the fortress could proceed This has been accomplished. Of the old | positions the French now hold only a nar- row tongue of land between Dead Man's hill and Avocourt wood This position is naturally strong, with Hill No. 304 as the backbone and the two fortified villages of Malancourt and Bethincourt at the end. But from the intense artil lery fire falling upon it today from three sides it appeared that the French retain it only by grace of the Germans and must abandon it whenever an earnest attack is delivered ¥French Guaners Active, French guns are no less the Germans, although their scattered. This is because the task of the French gunners is to search out German batteries hidden over the entire landscape and restrict their activity as much as possible. The French gunners seem to be per- forming their task well. They know the position of many batteries and shoot with uncomfortable accuracy, as the cor- respondent experienced recently when a shell dropped squarely in the Dbattery by which he was standing. An officer from the headquarters of the crown prince explained to the corre- spondent the operations leading to the occupation of the region west of the river, The French positions here, from which the German operations on the east bank had been subjected to a flanking fire were on Goose Hill and in Cumieres wood, with strongly fortified supporting points for infantry in the villages of Regnleville and Bethincourt Every house had been converted into a minia- ture fortress by walling the cellars with masonry and cement and providing em- brasures for machine guns and rifles. nece; the French to tai wa. active fire than is more Wil Savo YouMoncy —— Thers AReason It l'l{l To Get Their Prices lefore You Buy.
