PEACE TALK BRINGS DOWN GRAIN PRICES CHICAGO. July 24 Peace talk had a noticeable bearish Influence today on corn. Oats fluctuated in line with corn. Favorable weather conditions counted also as a factor in pulling down values. Some of the most active sellers were among those who yesterday had been conspicuous buyers. Opening prices, which varied from the same as yesterday's finish to 7-8c lower, with August $1.61 3-4 to 1.52 1-4, were low, followed by a slight rally and then a decided break all around. Provisions scored slight gains owing to strength In hog quotations. Buying, however, received a check through the weakness of grain. GRAIN QUOTATIONS CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE CHICAGO, July 24.

Wheat Marketed at Mills is

New wheat marketed by Wayne county farmers has been of an exceptionally high grade, according to a Richmond mill owner. Most of the wheat marketed thi3 summer has been grade two wheat, and has brought $2.12- a bushel. Following distractions from the food administration the price for the best grades wheat will be from this time on, $2.10, instead of the price formerly paid. The only low grade wheat marketed, j the mill owner Raid, was a nntitv I which was received Tuesday night, and was too damp to receive a high grade. The elevator at West Manchester has been receiving so much wheat that it has been necessary to send part of the grain to an elevator at Castine for storage. The general yield of wheat in that vicinity runs 25 bushels to the acre. Henry R. Snyder of Abington township threshed over 410 bushels of wheat from eight acres. His Crop average was 35.5 bushels.

French, by Sharp Attack at Montdidier, Hold Up Dispatch of German Reserves, Belief

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 24. Attacks by the French at Montdidier with the j capture of several towns and an ad- : vance of nearly two miles and a conj Mnuation of the British "nibbling" tac- ; tics along the northern front were be- ! lieved today to have disrupted "the j plans of the German high command to I troops in the Soissons-Rheims salient. With the Franco American troops making a steady advance between Soissons and Chateau-Thierry and French, British and Italian forces bat tering away on the German flank frorn the vicinity of Rheims, fresh German reserves had been called from more northern points along th front. The French by their sharp attack yesterday Et Montdidier, it was pointed out today have probably held up the dispatch of these reserves. In the meantime, Ihe position of the enemy in the pocket-like salient, between the Marne and the Aisne grows more dangerous. Unfavorable weather conditions interferred to some extent,' with the allied advance in this yesterday, but with the drying of the terrain and the return of more favorable conditions for air fighting, the gradual closing in of the mouth of the salient is expected to continue Whether the Germans will be able to escape before the jaws of General Foch's pincer movement close in will soon be known.

In the opinion of some, it was anotner indication or the taxing of an offensive position by the allied troops along the front. The beginning of an offensive on the Picardy sector, signs of which have been seen, would furnish the final proof that General Foch has decided that American troops have reached France in sufficient numbers to outweigh Ger- , man numfer5cal superiority and that the time has arrived to assume offen sive tactics at all points.

FOE RESERVES Continued From Page One. plies of food and ammunition is now within six miles of the advancing French line. A great fire has been burning there for many hours. Pressure Continues. While the French progress towards Fere from the west, the French and Americans are gaining steadily from the south. Around Barbillon wood and toward the Marne, the allies in heavy fighting on rain-soaked fields, are pressing back the Germans, who have attacked viciously but apparently futilely. Further west along the Marne, the bridgeheads on the northem bank are being enlarged by the French and Americans who have advanced two more miles between Mont St. Pere and Charteves. The Germans evidently have been driven entirely from the north bank except at several points east of Dormans. Southwest of Rheims in the heavilywooded country along the Ardre, the British and French pressure continues. An average advance of about twothirds of a mile has been made on a limited front. The drive here is a corollary to the French pressure astride the Ourcq. The British have taken 300 prisoners, making their total for three days 1,100. Enemy Rushese Fresh Troops. Fresh troogs constantly are being thrown in by the Germans, apparently only for the purpose of checking the allied advance sufficiently to permit the removal of large quantities of stores and big guns from within the salient to a line paralleling the Vesle. The enemy is reported to be removing his supplies as rapidly and as well as he is able, but the allied artillery fire and bombing activity is proving most harassing. Stores and ammunition dumps which cannot be moved are being fired. American and British aviators are aiding the French airmen in their raids and bombing expeditions in the zone behind the German lines. Thirtyseven machines were accounted for Monday, while Berlin claims that 53 allied airplanes were brought down. ' Since the fighting began July 15, the Germans are reported to have used between sixty and seventy divisions. Estimates from French headquarters place the German losses in that period at 180,000 in killed, .wounded and prisoners. DR. LA BONTE SERVING IN FRENCH HOSPITAL Dr. La Bonte, who for several years past has been a physician at Easthaven, is now in France at a French camp hospital. LaBonte is a first lieutenant in the medical relief corps. In a letter received Wednesday by friends in this city, he says: "I am working harder than at any time since I have been in the service. New men are coming all the time and we naturally find a goodly number who need work done. We scarcely ever get a man in for whom we do not have to do something, if no more than to make a blood count. With running the laboratory; being mail censor, and being on the hospital staff, I find my time pretty nearly occupied. But usually have time to do work among the French as I have quite a few patients on the outside. The evenings are very lonesome here as I can not do any laboratory work after 6 o'clock and it doesn't get dark until nearly ten. I am writing this when it is nearly ten o'clock."
