From the seller s viewpoint there was slight improvement in the condition of the general cattle market, compared with the cloee of loot week. Not that there was any material advance in prices in the various departments, but the demand was more active, and even at steady prices owners received more money because of the surplus Monday fill. Steers seemed to sell to better advantage than females, but there was a good clearance of oil kinds of cattle used by killer* Bulls were steady and calves sold strong compared with Saturday. There was a continued limited demand for Stockers and feeding cattle and no visible alteration in price®.

Corn—Maximum temperature* in Oklahoma and Kansas yeeterday were well over 100, but the morning map showed a breaking up of the heat, together with the appearance of timely rains. Government summary of the weather since Saturday morning States that showers have been very general east of the Rockv mountains, with the exception of Oklahoma, and southeastward. During the day there were private reports of showers in southern Illinois and parts

of Indiana.

One thing worthy of note Is the fact that despite the high temperatures prevailing recently there have been a commute absence of reports of firing. This is thought to be due to appearance timely showers. Moderate liquidation has bean going on in the market with the support not broad. Current receipts of cash met with poor demand. Movement is already decreasing and Is expected to run rather light for another thlrtv days. Semi-official crop reports show the season to be two or three weeks ahead of

normal.

Oats—Appearance of new oats on an Increased scale has been an important factor. Demand for current receipts has been concentrated In the hands of the leading elevator Interest. Values were a full 2%c lower than Saturday's best prices. Domestic demand said to be slow and exnort bids not reported. Contract grade# are selling at July prices, and it Is believed that deliveries of carlots on track will be made on the July. Offerings from the country are not heavy and the demand is slow, ail bids for shorttime shipments having been withdrawn. Rids for shloment by September 15 are from one-qqarter to one-half over Septe Urovtsions—Firmness in sympathy with Dc advance, in hogs was apparent in products early. There was very little demend, however, and prices dragged during the day In sympathy with corn. Metal Prlcea. NEW YORK.

MAY MEAN NEW SYSTEM

No recent information regarding the work of registering Liberty bonds of the first, second and third lasue afiainat loss ny theft has been received here from the treasury department, according to local bankers. The announcement of the registration of bonds which r Washington news dispatch contained cam# aa a surprise to Indianapolis banka and ths ft*” 11 *” generally expressed themselves pusslad as q the exact meaning of the registration announcement. The Washington dispatch said Secratary McAdoo had adopted a definite policy of encouraging owners to have their bonds registered, presumably without expense, and said application for registration and full information concerning the process could be obtained

at most banka.

May Be a New Method.

Aa nothing bearing on -this question ha* recently been sent to the local banks by the treasury officials some bankers hold that the announcement may refer to the transfer of coupon bonds into the registered bond. This, they say. has already been done by many oi the smAller bondholders whose amount of interest was not sufficient to permit ths coat of rental or » safety deposit box wid who wished to be Insured against loss by theft. If this is what ths registration notice refers to then no change In preaont Liberty bond methods is necessary, It is said. However, If. as some of the Indianapolis bankers believe, the dispatch announces a new method which the treasury department has adopted for the benefit of Liberty bond owners then It is likely, bankers say, that an explanation will be re-

ceived soon.

Legal Complications. Bankers agree it is not liksly the government is contemplating the transfer of all coupons into registered bonds, as the former bonds are far superior to the latter In point of convenience. It is necessary, bankers aver, to transact k large amount of legal business beforn the registered bond Is obtained by the owner. It has been ninety days, they explain since the registered bonds of the third Liberty loan Issue were ordered. and none has been received here from the treasury department. The coupon bonds were available for delivery at the time of sale. — Because of detail attached to buying registered bonds some bankers say it is Improbable that the government would advise all owners to transfer the cou-

SENATORS’A11EN1N

VIEWS EXPRESSED AS TO THE PROPER LIMITS.

RECESS SESSION IS HELD

WASHINGTON. July 28 —Changes In the selective service act were discussed briefly at today's semi-weekly meeting of the senate, but the house held only a flve-mlnute routine session. The presiding officers of the senate and house signed and sent to the President the resolution repealing the federal charter of the NationaJ GermanAmeriean Alliance, whose members have been charged with pro-German activities. ^ t A resolution Introduced by Senator Sterling, of South Dakota, and referred to the senate military committee asking the secretary of war whether men who tried to volunteer for the army but were rejected for physical disability and have since been drafted, may be transferred to volunteer organizations was the subject of senate debate. Senator Sterling eaid lt was unjust to be rejected as a volunteer and then be forced into draft organisations after a change in the physical eundard. Senator Johnson, of California;, said that in the new law being considered to extend the draft agee, which would be before congress within thirty days, the question of prohibiting all volunteering is being discussed. Senator Nelson, of Mtnneeota, said the action of local draft boards rather than the draft law had been responsible for discrimination and some times favoritism. Senator Nelson said it has been his experience that most of the men of draft age who have sought to volunteer have been looking for some "soft snap" to keep out of the firing line. In discussing extension of the draft ages. Senator Nelson called attention to the nraUe by Secretary Daniels of the marines between eighteen and twenty-one who have been in the recent fighting in France and declared youths of these ages make the best soldiers. Opposing reduction of the minimum draft ages Senator Kirby said h^ believed the drafts age should and will be extended not because the country's man power wlthfti the draft ages Is insufficient. but because men above thirtyone without dependents should be made to serve.

DECISIONS IN COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, July 2».-The ways and means committee today, in consldering the *8,000,000,000 revenue bill, tentatively decided against making any increase in the present tax on passenger fares and freight receipts on railroads and against any increase In the tax on telephone messages. The tax on oil pipeline rates, export rates and other matters was considered, but no agreement reached. “The committee,” said Representative Rainey, of Illlnela, acting chairman in the absence of Chairman Kitchin. "considered the transportation question and the general sentiment was against any

transportation of soldiers or officers lr uniform, whether traveling ’on official duty or on furlough. The present law taxes the tickets of men on furlough, but not thoee on official duty. Pipeline Problem. "The perplexing problem In the matter of tax on pipelines, which the coirmlttee considered is the privately-owned pipelines which are not taxed. These privately owned lines will be reached In the new bill. "The committee will not raise the telephone message tax. but will extend the telephone tax provision so as to reach the exchange services and leased lines. The basis will be a 10 per cent, tax on the compensation received by the telephone companies from th# rental of these lines and exchangea." Covers Canadian Situation. The committee also favored maktog the freight tax apply to shipments from a "point outside the United States to a point within the United States." «© far as the haul within this country is concerned. This tentative plan is to meet the complaint of domestic shippers, particularly tn the state of Waahington. that Canadian shipper*, untaxed for tbelr consignments to any point in the United States enloy an advantage over A merioan competitors.
