MARKETS!

SHARP ADVANCE IS MADE IN MARKET CHICAGO. June 17. Record-break-high temperatures which prevailed yesterday led to buying of corn today on a broad scale and forced a sharp advance in values. Especial notice was taken of the fact that the heat reached 104 at Omaha and 102 at Des Moines. Offerings were relatively scarce. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to 1 3-4c higher, with July $145 1-4 to $1.46 5-8 and August $1.48 1-4 to $1.48 1-2. were followed by a decided general upturn. Oats responded to the strength in corn and to hot weather receipts. Commission houses were active buyers. After opening 1-8 to 1 5-8 to 1 3-4 higher, with July 71 to 72 1-2. the market held near the top side of the range. Provisions rose with corn and hogs. Sellers were hard to find.

Gilbert said Monday that the new ruling does not effect sodas even if some sugar syrup Is used in their making, but it does effect any special drinks in "which sugar syrups are used, such as lemonade.

AUSTRIANS IN

Continued From Page One. some local successes near Riva at the head of the lake. Claim 16.C0O Prisoners. ' In two days of fighting Vienna claims the capture of 10,000 prisoners on the Piave and 6,000 in the mountain region. Fifty guns were taken along the river front. In . their counter-attacks, begun Saturday night, the Italians already have captured 3,000 of the enemy. The Austrians plan apparently was to strike heavily on the north and on the east "at the same moment in tho hope that on one of the fronts large forces could be thrown on the Venetion plains between Bassano and Treviso. Although carried out in great force and with heavy bombardments, the Austrians' effort seemingly has fallen short of its purpose of shatter-

jing the Italian front and rolling it 1 back toward the Adige.

On the front in France the fighting activity has been limited to local German at&cks at isolated points. Against the French along the Matz river the enemy failed. The same result attended a strong effort to penetrate the American lines at Xivray, east of St. Mihiel. The American artillery fire broke up the enemy attack with heavy losses and only a small force reached Xivray where it was wiped out by the Americans. An attempt to raid the new American sector in Alsace Sunday was broken up by racking gun and rifle fire. The Lys salient in Flanders is being subjected to a heavy German artillery fire. The enemy is paying special attention to the front southwest of Ypres east of Dickenbusch lake and to the western part of the southern leg of the salient where the British recently carried out a considerable local advance.
