CORN DROPS Oil CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, July 25. Favorable weather conditions and a general improvement of crop reports led to a noticeable Increase of bearish sentiment today as to corn. Enlarged rural offerings counted also as a factor in easing down prices. Notice, too, was taken of the fact that for the first time in history this country had received a shipment of corn from Venezuela, with a promise of much more to come. "Opening quotations, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to 3-4c lower at $.163 1-4; September and $1.14 to $1.14 1-4 December were followed by substantial declines all nround. Optimistic estimates of the spring crop yield in the Dakotas and Minnesota tended to send wheat prices downward. After opening lMc lower ot $2.234 September, the market underwent a material additional sag. Oats sympathized with the weakness of corn. Buying on the part of the industries, however, checked declines. Provisions were strengthened by assertions that the Belgian relief commission was inquiring for a liberal amount of lard and backs.

Continued From Page One. a fresh illustration on the Aisne front. Here the French have emerged victors in a long drawn out struggle with the Germans for possession of the important high ground in the Craonne region. Yesterday's brilliant attack gave General ePtaln's troops renewed possessions in almost complete measure of the slight area gained by the crown prince in his costly series of attacks. The French even pushed beyond their old line at some points. This morning came the test of the

German reaction. It was directed

against the position recaptured by the

French on the Californie plateau. Al

though delivered after a violent bom

bardment it was entirely fuitile, the French retaining the rewon gTOund and consolidating their gains. Path of Retreat Traced.

The path of the Russian retreat in Gallcia is traced In today's German

official statement reporting the occu

patlon of Tarnopol by the Austro-Ger-man forces, which down near- the

Dniester are near Buczacz and still

farther south have occupied Stanislau

and Nadvorna. The last named town is on the edge of the Carpathians. If a British offensive on the Belgium front is In prospect as the unprecedently heavy artillery fire Indicates, it evidently has not yet been launched. Today's official statement from London reports numerous successful raids in this area but no wide movement of the British infantry. The Berlin bulletin announces continuation of the exceptionally violent big gun fire.
