WEATHER REPORTS SENDS CORN UP

Chicago, Aug. 2. com pAces took an upward turn today, influenced by reports Indicating that relief which had been awarded by fains in the southwest and elsewhere was not so great as at first teemed to have been the case. Besides, the forecast this morning promised no more than slight showers anywhere. Offerings were n6t large, and were readily absorbed by commission houses. Opening priced which r anged from c off to He advance with Dec. at $1.16 to $1.16!i and May at $1.13 t6 $1.144. wre followed by a moderate general advance, and then something of a reaction. "Unfavorable Crop advices from the Dakotas gave some firmness to wheat prices. Alter opening 2c higher at $2.20 Sept., the market advanced to $2.22, and then fell back to $2.19. Increased rural offerings .to arrive, especially from Central Illinois, tended to make cats market relatively easy. Some transient strength at the start was ascribed to sympathy with the upturn in corn. Provisions hardened after a little initial weakness. A decided increase id the warehouse stock of lard here appeared to have been discounted in advance.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. 2 Apart from the inroads made upon Germany's male population by the war, the check of the natural renewal of her people is making itself very sharply felt. The provisional birth statistics for 1916 show very clearly that a shrinkage will be evident in the German army levies for these years of war, assumihg hat the Emperor, or at least his military system, have not disappeared from the German empire before the time for their calling up comes round. v The official statistics which relate to German towns Of 15,000 and more inhabitants, show that the number of infants, born alive in such towns decreased by 131,068 in 1915 as compared with 1914, and that in 1916 they again declined by 114,557, making a total decrease between the beginning of 1915 and the end of 1916 of 245,625, or 39.5 per cent, of the number of living births recorded in the year 1914. Tis percentage almost entirely accords with the decrease percentage in the absolute number of such births recorded in the 26 largest German cities, which are separately tabulated. Canrtot Be Offset It Is clear that such a decline in the number of births can by no means be counterbalanced by the simultaneous decrease showa in the mortality rate of infants under one year old, although this is relatively somewhat greater than the shrinkage shown in the number of births. The mortality rate of infants under one year old, measured by comparison with the number of births, has continually declined since the year 1914. In the 26 largest German cities the rate Of such infant mortality, as compared with births, fell from 15.3 In all German towns of 15,000 the more all German towns of 15,000 the more inhabitants it declined in the same period from 15.5 to 13.3. As the German Press emphasizes with legitimate satisfaction, the rate Of infant mortality in the war year 1916 was lower even than in the year 1912, when it stood at 14.1, hitherto a record low rate. Such a- comparative mortality decrease, however, can naturally have but the very slightest effect on the shrinkage in the actual number of births in Germany in the past two years Of war, and the next population statistics of the country must show evndences of. the check which War has imposed.

Murdered Man Was Heir To Estate In Germany, He Said

Hensley Trachenberg, killed by W. H. Harris in the Pennsylvania yards Monday night, was heir to estates in Germany, says W. Clement WOlfe, the engineer in charge of the yards. By the death of a father and two brothers killed while fighting in the German armies, and the death of his mother some time ago, Trachenberg was sole claimant to the family estate, he told Wolfe. He was outlawed by the German
