CORN MARKET FEELS EFFECT OF WEATHER
CHICAGO, Nov. 27 Strength developed in the corn market today, owing largely to unseasonably warm, moist weather. Besides, receipts were not increasing as rapidly as had not of an aggressive character. Opbeen hoped for. Buying, however, was ening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to c higher, with January $1.21 to $1.21
and May $1.19 to $1.19 were followed by a slight down turn, and then a moderate fresh advance. Continued demand from the seaboard hoisted oats to a new high price level for the season. Offerings were scarce. Provisions rose with grain. Advances at Liverpool tended to strengthen the market here.

Continued From Page One. continuing his offensive engagements
in Flanders by an Intense artillery bombardment in the sector stretching
from Ypres to the North Sea, Field j Marshal Haig was able to make successful plans for an offensive thrust
between the Scarpa River and St. Quention. :v"The usual preliminary artillery preparation was dispensed with. The elements of surprise so essential to victory played a large part in the successes gained. The British, by a preponderant numerical superiority In. men and mobile material, by improvisioning the skillful tactical maneuvering of an unusual number of tanks and by co-ordinating with precision the deployment of cavalry made use of these arms to bear the brunt of the encounter. Infantry then was called upon to hold and consolidate the terrain gained. "Thus the British were able to revord a desided success with very great economy of munitions, and slight casualties. Three successive German trenches in offensive on a
front of six miles, astride the Cam-brai-Bapaume road were captured and Scheldt Canal in front of Cambrai was crossed. Began on Nov. 28. "During the first day of the battle, dull, dry weather greatly facilitated operations, which began at dawn on Nov. 20th. Later bad weather set in, and torrential rains accompanied by flurries of snow, held up the attack. The capture of the village of Fontaine Notre Dame, two and three-quarters miles west of Cambrai, marks tbe present limit of the advance. The British forces while still pressing forward, are meeting with Increased resistance. Severe fighting continues, and we may expect desperate attempts on the part of the enemy not merely to prevent any further British advance
tbut to regain. If possible, some of the
lUtSL glUUUU. . "Cambrai, the center of very Important railroad and canal lines of communication, now comes under the immediate fire of British field guns, while the large calibre high velocity and naval guns can readily search out the country side for miles in the rear, harassing hostile parties and making operations for the enemy difficult. On a front extending approximately 32 miles, the attacking forces have penetrated various strong points. The number of prisoners enumerated hitherto is over ten thousand, which
exceeds the total British casualties. Busy in Ypre Salient. "While the battle for Cambrai has resulted in so rapid and sweeping an advantage for the British forces, apparently without extensive preliminary preparation, it must not be forgotten
that it was only made possible by the continued pounding of the German lines in Flanders. In the meantime the
British have not ceased to keep the enemy busy In the Ypres salient, and gains of territory are noted to the southeast. "Along the front held by the French
forces, the latter have achieved a successful coup de main south of Juvincourt, Champagne, resulting in the capture of some elements of enemy trenches and the taking of numerous prisoners. Livery artillery duels took place north of the Chemin Des Dames and in the Verdun sector, where, as for several weeks past, the enemy continued to bombard the French positions in Chaume wood. "In the sector where our troops are training, increased artillery activity is noted. Small detachments, while on patrol duty, have gained some useful experience. . Italians Check Assaults. "The Italian armies, now complet
ing their reorganization," have been able to withstand the assaults of the numerically superior forces of the Austro-German divisions engaged against them. They have hitherto prevented any furthe invasion of the Italian plain. The enemy is continuing his efforts to break through. The line of the Paive has held firm. Along the lower Paive where hostile forces
gained a temporary foothold - on tbe rtghtbank of the river, they were driven off with great loss, thus rendering the Italian positions more secure. "Along the plateau of the Sette communi. heavy fighting is going on. The enemy has been successfully contained. In the mountain regions between the headquarters of the Brenta and the Piave defensive, operations
have been weil conducted, and the enemy has been unable to make any further progress. Strategic reserves, strengthened by allied contingents, have been constituted. The morale of the Italian forces is improving daily and while the situation is not wholly free from critical aspects, the defensive measures appear adequate to meet the situation.
The United States Food Administration Says: Use Less of Wheat. 1. Eat . less wheat bread. 2. Don't waste a single slice. 3. ake toast and puddings of all stale bread. 4. Put the loaf on the table and-slice as needed. The merchants would like to add: 1. Conserve our help by trading in the morning. 2. Avoid especially the Saturday afternoon rush. 3. Avoid having goods sent out on approval. 4. Co-operation is an essential feature to effect reforms.
